I'm looking for a air-conditioner vent mounting clip for my iphone for use in my car. Something that will be ok with the fact that I've got a case on my phone (so a little adjustable).
Failing that, a windscreen mount (with suction cup), provided that it is legal here in Malaysia (I'm not sure of the laws, but it never seems to be the same anywhere I go, can anyone inform me?). Again, something that will accommodate the fact I've got my phone in a case.
I'm wanting to mount it with good visibility to the sky through my windscreen for optimal GPS reception. I find if I have it sit in my center console, or mounted out of my cig lighter plug it can frequently lose reception, so I end up having to hold the thing out in front of my while I drive when I get lost which isn't the safest of things to do.
So, can anyone recommend where to get either of these products? I live in petaling jaya, although I'm happy to make a trip into KL or anywhere else not too far away to pick something like this up.

I've got an old belkin fm transmitter/charger for the car and it doesn't charge my iphone 3gs, though it does transmit the fm signal. What I'm looking for it something like this ... http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Charge-Conve...s/dp/B001OI2VGI... which is made by Griffin. It plugs into the iphone and acts as a go-between between your old-school charger and your new-and-annoying iDevice to make the charging circuit compatible. Does anyone know where around KL I could get something like this? I would prefer the Griffin unit, although to be honest I'd be willing to try just about any brand if it worked. I've tried the obvious (being apple stores) although they seem to be quite a few years behind the rest of the world in knowing what technology is available for their products (and I'm not about to pay 350rm for a new charger/transmitter through them). Alternatively, if anyone knows where I can get a new charger/transmitter that will charge the 3gs such as the Belkin TuneCast Auto Live ... http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.pro...duct_Id=493610#... that won't cost me more than it would cost for me to ship it from AU/US myself, let me know where and how much.
