A portable electronic device support assembly for a vehicle comprises a housing for placement, a link arm slidably coupled to the housing at a first end of the link arm, and a device support configured to receive a portable electronic device and rotatably coupled to the link arm at a second end of the link arm. The link arm and device support are movable between stowed and deployed positions. A latching mechanism configured to resist movement of the link arm in the deployed position, the latching mechanism comprising a latch movably coupled to the link arm. The latch is resiliently biased such that the latch engages a recess in the housing when the link arm is in the deployed position. An interaction between the device support and the latching mechanism retracts the latch from the recess as the device support rotates relative to the link arm when moving towards the stowed position.
