Phone mount options?
Looking for a solution for a solid phone mount instead of using my cup holder. Anyone have a good one? I have a pop socket in the back of my iPhone X but I think I can squeeze a magnet on the back for magnetic mounts. I don’t want a mount covering my vents for sure.

Yes, they do go in front of the A/C vent for the 4Runner, but that is actually a good thing for it keeps the cell phone from over heating in the sun. The beauty of the ProClip is it comes in two parts: one that is custom fit to the vehicle, and the second is custom fit to your cell phone. Also, they are no drill clip on installation and very sturdy. |
This phone magnet works really well and I love it. Sticks near dash, close to the clock
Have a magnet sticked to phone and a case over it and magnet still runs strong Just doesn’t hold on well while doing the off road Amazon.com: Trianium Magnetic Dash Car Mount Phone Holder Desk Stand Compatible with iPhone, Samsung, Huawei, Nokia, LG, Moto Smartphone, Stick-on Dashboard 3M-Adhesive Bendable Base and Metal Plate Included |

However, in the 4Runner I couldn't find a good mounting point where it was within a finger distance with my hand still on the wheel. I eventually swapped for a 67 Designs set-up which I... somewhat like. If you end up that route, don't by the Gen 2 magnetic mount. It has no magentic power and your phone will just slide off. I just ordered a Gen 3 magnetic mount from them and am hoping that works as good as the cheap mount from Amazon since I already have the new 67 Designs base bolted to the dash. https://i.imgur.com/zgsLLfM.jpg |

I was using the Scosche mag mount until the adhesive died during this hot ass summer we're having. During the winter it worked fantastic and the mag plate attached to my iphone 12 case wasn't really noticeable. The second it turned hot, the adhesive bit the dust and now i'm debating on drilling in a mount system. Before that I was using a RAM Mount bolted in to the dash (head unit). Works well but I get tired of the arms and where they hit on the phone side buttons. 67 Designs will likely be my next mount.

Phone holder
I've been using a Lisen magnetic phone holder that I bought on Amazon for about 10 bucks. It does attach to the vent, but it sits away from the vent a couple of inches closer to me. I've had it a couple of months an so far, it has worked out great. Enough magnetic power to hold the phone while bouncing around off road, but not too much holding power to stress the vent. I keep the metal plate under a thin case on my iPhone.

I use a pro clip with the wireless charger. Been working great for a long time.

I'm using a two-part setup. A belt and suspenders solution. Engineer style. :biggrin1:
I bolt a RAM Mounts X-Grip to an ICS FAB Dash Mount platform. The ICS mount lets me secure items to it (HAM, CB, radar detector, tablet) when I need them. However, I can add, relocate or remove them as required. All without drilling new holes in my dash. -SK |
