2019 Current phone mount solutions?

[slprciv]

Proclip to the middle vent and i hooked a magnet to it, just toss the phone up there, very strong, person location. No drilling. Didnt use the little piece of 2 sided tape so I can move it around if I need to.

Same here, held the phone very well off roading even in rock climbing conditions.

Mine is a ram ball mount, short ram arm with a ram->17mm adapter then a Qi wireless charger. It has a light sensor that clamps down on the phone when put in the cradle, small spot on the back opens the cradle when tapped. It even has an onboard battery so it can be opened and closed with the car off. Love this set up.

Not a perfect photo, but you can see it here.

Any time.

You're helpful, don't let your mom ever tell you different.

It would have if I put it on the left side. I wanted to still get air flow to the driver, so I moved it to the right on the vent and it worked out well. Air still goes around it though.

Yes, any holder will work that works with the Proclip and that Ball.

Good stuff, thank you. That mount looks perfect. Looks sturdy, unlike a lot of (if not most) other vent mounts. How did you fasten the ball mount to the proclip?

Almost as helpful as a Google search, just not so instantly gratifying.

Nah. Rail mount came up empty.. and the rest of your suggestions are garbage. You have great google skills and like to assume a lot. Get lost kid.

I didn't Google a thing pops, just read the countless threads on the subject in the past. Thanks for the kid reference, it's been awhile. Hey keep this up and you will be in the classified section in no time.

Ha then you should google before running your mouth about me googling, genius. I googled and searched the forum. My fears of not being part of that section are making me tremble. You're really a great part of this forum. I feel for your folks.

As far as your links go, again I searched the forum. Where is the mention of your rail mount in your links? As far as your awesome attitude, asking questions in a forum in a like minded thread isn't an issue. Being a snotty little kid thinking he knows something when he didn't take his own advice, thats the problem. You're a great contribution here.

Pro clip has the bracket with 4 screws. Then the ball snaps down onto it into two groves.

So original thread starter here and yeah i read many threads but wanted to see 2019 recent current products/idea. Thanks all, these are great but i wanted super low profile.

And i dont get the RAM mounts. They are a super PITA to me, maybe its an iPhone thing.

I initially went with $14 solution called wizgear, and I like it! I have not tested it off road, but it looks great.

Here are pics of mount only, phone mounted, and with charger cord. I still can not figure out how to embed photos in a post, nothing seems to work.

I have a proclip a-pillar mount. I just clipped it on, didn't use the 3m tape they provided. I wanted the ability to take it on and off if needed. Plus it fits so tight the tape isn't needed. Used a Scosche XL magnet mount on it and it holds my iPhone 7 with otter box just fine on bumpy streets.

The only downside of this setup is charging in this location but I rarely need to charge my phone while driving plus I like that it keeps the center of the truck uncluttered. If charging is an issue you can run a cord that pops out the drivers vent or in the gap just above the steering wheel.

I drilled a ram mount straight into the cup holder. Works great and it’s solid.

I added a RAM Mount into the useless coin tray. Took a little shaping to get it to fit right. Living in AZ with Toyota a/c, vent clips were out and I wasn't going to give up a cup holder either. I hate anything that mounts above the dash, I tried a windshield mount and not only did the phone obstruct my view but it was literally laying on my dash when I came out from work.
