2019 Current phone mount solutions?

[mrblah]

Has anyone tried the Ram Tough Wedge in their vehicle?

Just looking for something to keep the phone out of the way when driving. I use Car Play when out but I just need something that keeps the phone out of the way. Cup holders are usually occupied.

I use to use it, and loved everything about it. can mount your phone, or a table and still easy to remove and transfer to another vehicle.

Only reason, i stopped using it is that i installed a dedicated navigation/phone dash system.

I still have mine wedged in between my seat...love to have the option of mounting something there if i needed to.

I use the wedge too. It’s a solid choice if you want portability and want to use cup holders for cups.

Lets see and hear about them!

My shirt pocket. Sometimes in the slot ahead of the rear cup holder.

Bluetooth plays my music from my phone and handles my phone calls. My 4Runner has the Entune system with navigation, my phone doesn’t have a data plan, so don’t need to see the phone.

I designed my own.

It is based off a an 2020 aluminum extrusion and modified bracketron mounts. The original bracketron came with a regular squeeze on both side type, but i swapped the heads for magnetic type.

Why I chose to go with my own rail system?

• No drilling/permanent modification required
• Placement adjustable
• Anything can easily mounted
• Using natural dashboard edges and cavities to get rigidity and strength.
• Held up to the Mojave 110 degree heat (Mojave trail run for 140 miles)
• Components from aluminum, steel and UV and heat resistant plastic
• Best part: drop of alcohol and can easily be removed with no traces or markings left.

I mount my phone and my handheld Yaesu on it, but you can pretty much attach anything you want.

Just like a mellennial demand others do your work for you and if not fall back on insults.

Maybe try the dewey decimal system next time.

RAM(R) X-Grip(R) Large Phone Holder with RAM(R) Pod™ I Vehicle Mount

True. I doubt ANY millenial knows what the Dewey decimal system is. They ONLY know what their class B electronics tell them.

I originally used a cheap $7 one from Amazon that was great, magnet power and size wise! Except it wasn't long enough for me to be able to touch the screen with my hand still on the wheel.

So I spent a lot more money and went with a 67 Designs one. Diamond Plate base, Mini Arm, and a G2 Magnetic pad. The Mini Arm was tool long so I ordered a Nano. Perfect... Until I started driving and my iPhone7 would just slide off.
G2 Magnet:

The magnet isn't near strong enough.


So unfortunately I had to reorder, again, a G3 magnetic pad. This finally worked and is a nice looking set-up, IMO.
G3 Magnet:

If buying something for your phone or MAYBE a mini iPad, do not consider the G2. I honestly don't know what it could hold unless rotated near flat, maybe.

Since i have always integrated my smartphone into my vehicles for music, navigation and communication with my countermeasures like a radar detector and laser shifters i needed the ideal spot to see it at all times.

So i went with the iOttie smartphone wireless charger with adjustable arm. I found that having the phone on the same plain as my dash cluster and windshield makes it easy to see out of the corner of my eye and easy to reach.

I have been using this method for about 8 years now.

For my GMRS radio i simply used my sons erector set parts to make a mount that simply uses double sided tape for the mic.

There website is so confusing. Do you have a link to the diamond plate and does it require drilling?

I am using the Rago dash mount with a RAM mount to this guy

I needed to use this adapter

The mount is motorized and clamps down on the phone when inserted and wirelessly charges.

Here is a pic with a different phone mount I had attached to a piece of plastic I stuck in above my T9 radio. I changed up due to this one not fast charging when I added the Rago mount.

I assume this was to me. If so, here's the link to the one I bought:
Diamond Plate Alternative — 67 Designs

And yes, I pulled off the silver center part of the dash, just a couple inches without removing wiring, and drilled two small holes. The harder part was putting on the nuts for the bolts inside as there isn't much room. Just don't drill too far. Sensitive stuff back there.

Has anyone tried the Panavise 4Runner Mount on the passenger side of the vent?

https://www.panavise.com/pdf_indash/75137-310.pdf

I ordered one and was planning on getting a RAM mount to attach to it because i dont wanna drill anything in my dash. But i didnt realize until buying it that it was only compatible on the passenger vent side of the center hub.

I asked and they were like nah we havent gotten much request for those yet. we might make them.

Does anyone have experience with them and specifically if this mount works well?

Curious if anyone else has tried this? I've had panavise mounts in the past in different vehicles and they've worked well. I'm not thrilled about the idea of drilling visible holes in my brand new 4Runner, if this works well it could be an option for me.
