Perfect setup for a phone in the Saab 9-5

This is interesting review of the Brodit Proclip high mounting bracket for the Saab 9-5 and the active holder for fixed installation for the Samsung Galaxy S5.

This is close to being the perfect setup for a phone in the car. The proclip mounts the phone in the perfect position, always accessible but never in the way. The only thing missing now is a good AUX system.

Creator of this video have modified the holder to include an NFC tag. This tag tells the phone that it is docked, so whenever I dock the phone it starts the car dock app and never turns off the screen. When  remove the phone, it senses the NFC tag removal and turns the phone back to normal.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.

  • Nice video.

    Agree the Brodit Proclip one of best for Saab 9-5.
    Even better when using Bluetooth from someone like cdconnect. One less cable!
    One thing your video does not mention (how would you know) is that the proclip mount you use is not available in RHD cars. Only LHD – shame because I agree it does not interfere with anything.
    So in Scotland- no luck, I have to use alternative.
    Well done on your channel, I enjoy your videos.
    If you like saabs, you. An find mine from Scottish meets and trackdays over on Vimeo, search under SOULFIRER TV.
    Cheers
