I keep it in my pocket, or just toss it down where ever. The aftermarket radio is bluetooth connected so if anyone calls I can answer by pressing the button on the radio and their voice will come via the speakers, and there's a mic placed near the ceiling so I can just talk back.

I did some modification to a holder and clip system from ProClip USA. I didn’t want weight to be hanging on the vents or for them to be obstructed, so I took a dremel and heat gun to it and wedged it under the trim around the radio and sent in a screw at an angle to hold it to the surrounding material. Holds it at just the right height for me so it isn’t taking up space in my vision, but I can still easily glance at it (since the photos I modified the angle to be tilted more towards the passenger’s side, better view angle and more space for switch access).

For those wanting a less custom method, their kit comes in two parts with the piece that provides a mounting base for various size of holders being designed to clip into spots by the center vents
