Phone holder solution without disrupting wireless charging capability
I'm looking for a good solution to mount my phone on my 3rd gen. I originally had a mount stuck on my windshield, but the heat melted the suction cup and left this nasty goo on my windshield. Anyone know of another way where I won't need to make any modifications to my phone since adding extra plates or covers interferes with wireless charging...

I just finished installing my new PanaVise inDash/RAM mounts combo. Love it. I sure you could put a wireless charging head on the RAM ball mount.

I use Google Maps a lot - and want my phone up in my line of sight.
This is another suction cup design (and if left in the direct/hot sun will come detached from the window) but it's one of the best I've used.
miniPro Connect Kit for NFC Phones | iBOLT Car Docks | Android Mounts
(and you can get the 2 pieces separately via Amazon for $20)

I was playing with an idea of removing the clock putting a block of wood then bolting a mount. Then using the circuit for the clock and tapping in for wireless charging.

Just a FYI, slightly OT: Properly formulated suction cups, like those produced by Garmin or RAM mounts don't melt in the hot sun.

That's pretty much what I did. Wood block screwed to where the clock goes and a piece of black abs over it. I was going to use a wireless charging mount but they dont work with my case.

I went through several setups before ending up with an Anker wireless charger/phone holder ( Amazon.com: Anker Wireless Charger, PowerWave 7.5 Car Charger with Air Vent Phone Holder, 7.5W for iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 10W for Galaxy S10 S9 S8, Note 10 Note 9 (Quick Charge Car Charger Included): Home Audio & Theater $50) and a proclip center dash mount ( Center Dash Mount | ProClip USA $30). The picture on the proclip website shows it covering the left vent, but I positioned mine to the right of the clock which covered the right vent for me but the passenger was still able to use it and I can still see the clock. I tried using the panavise side mount as pictured in jerbrun0515 posted but found it had a little too much vertical bounce to it for me. It was distracting for me when I had google maps up. The anker wireless charger is ball mounted so you can use it with any 17mm size ball if you want to use a RAM mount or something similar.
Here's another option to consider too: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/2690618-post41.html

The proclip mount looks promising. The instructions mention peeling off the cover of the adhesive. Does this use adhesive to stay on or is it just more like a clamp? I want to avoid sticking anything in case I want to change/remove it later on...

It's to prevent it from sliding left or right on the top edge of the trim piece. I left the cover on the tape while I tried out a few positions to see where I liked it best. You could probably leave the tape cover on indefinitely and it would be fine. I forgot to mention that I had to buy a 17mm ball from tackform ( AMPS Mount | Metal | 17mm Ball - Tackform) to mount the anker phone charger on. Proclip has wireless chargers similar to the anker wireless charger. If I were to do it all over again I would get the proclip mount and a wireless phone charger holder from proclip as well. If you want I can take a picture of my setup.

I replaced my lower grab handle screw with a RAM ball mount and put my phone there.

I just picked up the Aukey Wireless Car Charger from amazon. Only thing I didn't like about it is that it attaches to the air vent but it attaches very securely and automatically closes when I put my phone in it and opens just by tapping the side.

@ jerbrun0515
is correct. A wireless charger fits on the RAM mount perfectly. I've using one for a year or so now, and it's great!

This was my solution. Ram makes a mount that let's you wireless charge. It's a piece of 3/4 plywood shaped to fit, then construction adhesive into the hole. Then the two hole mount ram ball is epoxied and screwed in place.
