Easily Secure Your Smartphone Where it is Most Useful to You in Your MINI

The FlexPod device mounting solution is ideal for your Smart Phone! Whether you have a Droid, an iPhone, a BlackBerry or something much cooler we can provide you with a secure mounting solution. All of the supported phones clip right into the cradle effortlessly, and the FlexPod system allows the mount to be securely attached without damaging your MINI. Clip in your phone and don't worry about it until you reach your destination.

Purpose-Built for the Most Popular Phones

The Scissor Mount was specifically designed to work with the most popular devices available, including:

iPhone 4
iPhone 3G / 3Gs
Blackberry Curve 8300 Series
Motorola DROID
Samsung Vibrant
HTC Thunderbolt
Nexus One
HTC Incredible and Incredible 2

Use a Smartphone Case with ‘The Scissor’

The Universal Scissor Mount is a great solution for you if you have a case on your iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry or other device.

The Scissor Module uses rubberized pegs and a spring loaded cross-grip design that pinches your phone, keeping it in place. You can adjust the device within it's grip to avoid buttons or allow access to plugs on any side of the device.

There are a lot of great smart phones out now, and more come out every few months. That is one of the reasons we designed a clever cradle that will hold a variety of devices.

The Scissor is best for gripping phones over 2 inches but less than 2 5/8 inches wide.

Ideal for Bluetooth and Navigation

If you have a Bluetooth headset or speaker system in your MINI then you are ahead of the curve because you can keep you hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road while you drive the curves. If you have to fumble for your phone in your pocket or purse when it rings, or when you need to make a call then you are losing focus. Snapping your device into the cradle when you get into the drivers seat means you always know where it is, and it becomes a part of your MINI so you see who is calling or who you want to call without looking away.

Quick and Seemless Installation for MINI

First, a model-specific bracket mounts to the back of the tachometer on your MINI. You take some screws out of the tach, put the bracket in place, and then attach it with the screws supplied in the kit. The bracket can be installed to face right or left. Then, the device specific module attaches to the bracket. The phone clip is on a 3.5 inch arm that articulates, allowing a range of locations on either side of the wheel.

This kit comes with everything you need to mount the selected device in your MINI.

Great smartphone mount!

Posted by Eugene / motionmonk on 14th Feb 2011

I bought the Universal mount for the 1st gen R53 for my Tmobile G2 smartphone with a case. The scissor mount handled it just fine, leaving all switches and ports available. The ability to move the arm around and to pivot from Portrait to Landscape views is really easy and useful in using maps, navigation apps, and receiving calls hands-free with speakerphone or bluetooth.
I was a little worried about the cost vs performance at first, but I’m totally sold now. Beefy aluminum construction, solid joints, and not a wiggle transmitted to the screen. I’ve looked at tons of mounts from other companies, and no one has a solid unobtrusive setup like this. When leaving the car, the mount tucks down and doesn’t attract attention either.
Definitely a solid 5 stars from me. Nice job guys! When you figure out a way to use with a MB SLK, I’ll be back for another one!
Great Mount for Droid X

Posted by Kevin Stephenson on 9th Dec 2010

I bought this with the universal scissor mount for my Droid X on my R56. I wanted to be able to use a case and different devices so I opted for the universal instead of the Droid X mount. The product looks great, very sturdy, and well made. and I have gotten several complements from people with suction cup mounts who wish they could get this for their car. I had the Carbon Fiber case for my phone and it was a little too large. You could press it in but was a little too tight for me. Works fine with the soft rubber case or of course caseless.
great product and easy to install

After suffering through several different suction mount mobile phone holders and doing a lot of research I finally settled on buying this kit with the scissors mount. It was money well spent and works great. Technical support from Craven was excellent. I like this product so much after installing it in my Cooper I immediately ordered for my 2005 BMW X3.
Smart mount for this smart phone

I researched many options for mounting my iphone 3GS and a few forums mentioned the CravenSpeed mount kit. Because it mounts directly to the tach, it's very stable. I love the swivel function, allowing me to change from horizontal to vertical orientation. Installation was a breeze. Very solid quality. I've had the mount for almost a year already. I just ordered the iphone 4 module.
