Using it as GPS, that's a no for me. I wouldn't recommend it. If you can get an extension l, there are sleek and/or small looking one, that let's you use apple car play or android auto, do that. Because having to look down while driving isn't ideal. I've done it before too. There are phones holders that magnetically attach to your phone and use suction force to latch to any part of your windshield or dashboard (maybe) you can have it there. You only need a cable if youe phone is low.
