This friction-focused phone mount can stand up to even sharp turns — but maybe avoid doing doughnuts and drifting around corners. (Amazon)(Amazon)
If your ride was built before 2016, chances are it didn't come with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. These features now come standard on most new cars, but for older models, you're left with two main options: splurge on an expensive new infotainment unit, or keep it simple with a convenient phone mount — especially if, like me, you rely heavily on Google or Apple Maps for navigation and Spotify for music and podcasts. Luckily, high quality mounts can be had for little more than a Starbucks order, like this one that's on sale right now for $12 — that's 40% off ahead of Black Friday.
Oh, and if you'd like to peruse some other options, check out our recent rundown of the best phone mounts for your car in 2024.

Full disclosure: We've yet to see it top $90, so the original list price is likely overstated. That said, getting it for $50 is still fab.
A good flesh-and-blood assistant is hard to find, but an ace virtual alternative isn't. The Echo Pop is as compact as it is useful, and this smart speaker would be a welcome addition to your loved one's kitchen, bedroom or home office.
According to Yahoo Deals Editor Chris McGraw, it's a "smaller, feistier version of the Echo Dot" that gives you "full access to Alexa, and [you] can ask it to play music, audiobooks, the weather, set reminders and much more. Even better; the Echo Pop includes Eero functionality, so it acts as a mesh router relay point, expanding your Wi-Fi if you use a compatible system."

Easy to install and easy to remove, this phone holder leaves behind no sticky residue.
Need a phone holder for all of your vehicles? Save even more with this two-pack.
At 40% off, this phone holder is a fantastic deal — and it does more than just provide you a place to put your phone. You can also use it as storage for small objects like coins or a spare key.
The first and foremost reason is simple: safety. Most states now have hands-free laws, so you shouldn't keep your phone on your seat or in your hand (especially if you're using it to navigate). This phone holder is an easy way to slide your phone into place while you're on the road so you can drive safely without taking your eyes off of the road any longer than necessary.
Another reason is that it doesn't leave behind residue, and installation is as simple as slapping it down on the dash. Friction will hold the entire mount in place, even without your phone. This makes the phone holder incredibly easy to move from car to car, or, if you prefer to just buy more than one, the two-pack is also on sale.
There's even a little cable management channel for you to run the power cord that will keep it out of the way and enough padding to protect your phone against unexpected bumps and potholes, too.
With over 33,000 perfect ratings, this phone holder has a legion of fans.
"I checked out a LOT of phone holders" mentioned one five-star reviewer. "The common issue: too many moving parts that are bound to break and aren't easy to relocate. This phone holder, however, lets me position my phone anywhere on the dash without blocking my view. It stays put, doesn’t slide, and securely holds my phone. If I want to use it in another car, no unclipping or unscrewing—just pick it up and place it."
"This is a simple product that works great! I’ve been using it for months and have not been disappointed. It sticks to my car’s curved, textured dashboard and stays put — in the heat, in the cold, in humid conditions, you name it. Does not leave any residue on the surface when removed / repositioned," says one.
Another fan raved, "I bought this after trying, for months, to find a cell phone holder that would actually work as advertised. I didn't have high hopes after purchasing one similar to this. This one actually sticks and stays put! It is the perfect size for my phone (ZFlip) and doesn't obstruct my view at all. It arrived on time and there is nothing more to say. I'm happy I took a chance with this one!"
"The only downside: you can only use this in landscape orientation, but that's fine for my use. Excellent product, would purchase again," summed up another user.
While the phone holder fits most cars, it doesn't work for every model, as this user found out. "The problem is that it has to sit on a flat surface," they cautioned, adding, "that puts it a full 5 inches further into the dash than usable."
