Thought a pic of the Brodit ProClips and Fix2Car cradles I use in my Leaf would be interesting.

The ProClips clip on, no damage to the dash, and the Fix2Car cradles are a product I'me reviewing. Got a Nexus5 and iPhone 5S cradle installed.

And here's my iPad mini cradle:

Doesn't it bug you that you'll get hot air blowing right on to them (or no air at all if the vents are shut)?

You could have it on the left hand mount if you wanted to access the drivers side vent but, to be honest, I rarely use the mini mount. It doesn't offer me any more than I can get from my iPhone and my eyes aren't quite that bad yet!

Using just a smartphone doesn't block the air vents a great deal and I only ever have cool air coming through them although I've found the Leaf centre vents a little poor, unless the fan is on high, very little air seems to come out of them?

There is an A Pillar Brodit ProClip, not sure if there is enough clearance to use an iPad mini in that position though.

I have the centre Brodit clip and I permanently turn off that vent.

Totally with you on that one. The only thing I ever use is a stick-on mount for the iPhone 5/iPhone 4, it's pretty nifty and small.

For the LEAF I've only used it in the screen, was about £20 with universal adapters and all sorts. Will try and find/recall the make and post some photos in the future.

The bobbly all over, sweeping dash of the Nissan LEAF is not great for gadget attachments I have to say.
