That's smart.. I spent $30 on a proclip VSM to stick the same magnetic mount on to because i didn't think it would stick anywhere :l
Still love my setup though

I use a spring-type phone/tablet holder on a rigid, gooseneck style arm that I mounted to the inside front passenger seat bolt. Works well for me. Arm length is 18"

I don't often have passengers, but even when I do, the arm is curved inward, away from the passenger and brings the phone next to the shifter. I have a charge wire/USB adapter in one of the 12V ports in front of the shifter and a bluetooth headunit that I can stream music to and use for calls. I mounted a mic next to the map lights on the driver side.



Please excuse the mess in the pen holder area

lol!

Is that wizgear magnet much stronger than the ball magnet seen on the first page? Because I do like the small footprint of the ball magnet on the dash, which is smaller than the wizgear

Just a cheap magnetic mount I found at autozone.
Took out the clock (because it didnt work anyway) and cut a piece of wood the same size as the clock. Covered the wood with a piece of black plastic and epoxied them together. Drilled a hole through both and then put a bolt through that sticks out the front. Cut the arm of the mount to size and filled it with epoxy and sunk a nut into the epoxy.

Yeah, its dusty but I live and work in the desert and I would have to clean it every day if I wanted it spotless.

I don't know how strong that ball magnet is, but I know the Wizgear magnet is super strong + the magnet that goes on the back of your phone is super skinny and can go inside your case

I use a big fat a$$ rubber band on my sun visor.

1.Its almost free
2. It won't fall
3. It does not muck up my perfect dash
4. I can remove it and install in 1 second flat
5. it is hands free
6. if i pull my visor down and face my camera towards the windshield i now have a dash cam that records.
I like simple

This setup has been perfect for me. I have it at about 1 o'clock and a couple of inches back from the wheel rim (we are RHD, so it's next to the A-pillar). I wanted it at this height so I wouldn't need to take my hand too far off the wheel or look down, since most of my driving is in traffic at speed.

I too have a RAM suction cup mount. Works flawlessly.

I have a Panavise bracket and a Smoothtalker cradle which connects to my stereo and it connects to an antenna on the roof. I could add a cellular amplifier in the future too. The downside is my phone only fits in the cradle without a case. I have a Magpul phone case which pops on & off very easy so it's not a big deal, but if you had something like a Lifeproof or Otterbox it would be a deal breaker.

Panavise, InDash, Toyota 4 Runner - SR5 96~02

I got one that has the 3M sticky. It has held up with offroading but unfortunately my phone is so big the magnet isn't strong enough. I have a Nexus 6 and the magnet I used was Scoche I believe.

Might be the phone case you are using is so thick that the magnet isn't strong enough to get through it. I have the same (or what appears to be the same) mount and my phone is both larger and heavier than a Nexus 6 and my phone has never fallen off.
