I trust the vents to do their job. I have a nice flat surface instead of the ugly screen that would stick out there to mount a removable phone holder (an arm on a suction cup). I only used it once though: it's pretty sufficient just to hear the audio guiding, I don't really need to see the road I see duplicated on the screen (unless I've no idea where I am going).

They should trust you to be fast once you're not dead.
When my previous phone suddenly took me off a convenient highway to a side road I thought it was to bypass a jam but it turned out I was guided through a "favorite" POI I did not intend to visit that time.
