A method of operating a movable support for orienting and positioning a portable computing device in a vehicle includes supporting the portable computing device with the movable support, and receiving status data based on a status of the vehicle with a controller. The method also includes determining a target orientation of the portable computing device based on the status data with the controller, the target orientation including one of a portrait screen orientation and a landscape screen orientation, and determining a target angular position of the portable computing device based on the status data, the target angular position including one of a driver-oriented position and a passenger-oriented position. The method further includes using the controller to move the movable support to position the portable computing device in the target orientation and the target angular position.
