iPhone 6s Plus Dash Camera

Dash Cam

Last September, I purchased a iPhone Dash Cradle (CyonGear Car Windshield & Dashboard Phone Holder) from a vendor on eBay. At the time, I had an iPhone 5s and wasn't thinking of getting an iPhone 6s Plus. The main reason for getting the cradle was to use the phone on my car dashboard to video some of my trips. I figured that my new phone could be used for navigation, and the iPhone 5s would be to video recording.

Here's the description from the eBay sales page:

Mount your phone in your car with confidence with the CyonGear Car Windshield & Dashboard Phone Holder. Featuring heavy duty arms, a detachable phone holder head, and 360* rotation capability your phone can be positioned to any desired angle. The attached suction cup with strong adhesive and suction cup release lock button allows you to mount your phone easily and securely on the dashboard or windshield. More colors are available.

It turns out that my iPhone Dash Cradle works perfectly with my iPhone 6s Plus. I can use Waze or Google Maps to navigate to my destination successfully. When I want to connect my iPhone 6s Plus I have to remove the phone holder to properly put the phone in. I have never been able to successfully put the phone in with the holder in place.

I have been able the base as a Dash Cam using the OsmAnd DVR application. My commute is very short, so I haven't purchased the full version. The application works pretty well and shows the speed that I am traveling and other useful information along with the video.

The base has a very strong sticky connection to the car. It does take some effort to remove it. I don't feel the need to removed it constantly. I keep the base connected to the car and remove the phone holder clamp so people wouldn't be tempted to break in the car looking for a GPS device.

If you have an iPhone 6s Plus I would highly recommend getting the CyonGear Car Windshield & Dashboard Phone Holder. The one I purchased only cost $7.49 with free shipping. Simple search for iPhone 6s Plus car mount on eBay for dealers selling it.
