I don't want to use one of those suction cups or other types as the bracket is there so does anyone know of using this to just hold the phone not charge it or anything.

Thanks but I'm trying to avoid using something that attaches to vents or uses those suction cups but a way of modifying the existing cradle to accept an iphone.

You'd have to be pretty handy with a dremmel to modify the existing cradle. An alternative is a Proclip, it uses two bits. A bracket thats installed without any modification to your car and a proper cradle for the device. Have a peep - here

I had one for a previous device and it really is a great bracket. My current crap solution is a 5 euro Heatons cradle that I've velcro'd to the dash board. It works, but it's terrible really.

a cradle from a bury car kit might be your best bet, it should screw onto the existing bracket, only problem with most them cradles is you cant have a cover on your phone

Its a CK7W kit and after a bit of looking I found this I think it should just screw into the existing bracket once you remove the old one, any thoughts?
