The new two leather phone console options can be viewed at KUDA custom leather mounts - TOYOTA - PRIUS V (since 2012) I have been checking the Kuda website every week or two so these consoles must have just come out. Kuda mounts are quite nice although I wish they had found a way to attach a console in a more traditional location. The Prius v dash/console design certainly doesn't give Kuda many options but I was hoping they would be inventive and somehow position a leather console just to the right of nav/audio head unit instead of attaching them to an air vent and potentially partially blocking the view of the center display module. I've had a Kuda phone console in my Lexus LS for about 10 years and have used a variety of phone charging cradles on it. The Kuda mount is still in perfect condition. I'm undecided on whether to get one of these for my wife's Prius v and may try to adapt a pedestal phone mount on the lower center console. But it is nice to have these options.
this illustrates the need for toyota to create a convenient place for cell phones in their next models.
I prefer the ProClip mounts. http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-vehicle-mount/toyota-prius-v-2012-2013/proclip-left-mount-804714-18875.aspx http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-vehicle-mount/toyota-prius-v-2012-2013/proclip-center-mount-854713-18875.aspx
