I was thinking of this because its higher and easier to see than the low one you mentioned, plus this was cheap, so I was afraid it was going to be a crappy magnet and wasn't sure about the screws and how they worked. great review, thanks. Might grab this till I get my android head unit later this year.

Also what does that knob underneath your phone mount do?
