Phone mount recommendation? (1 Viewer)

[oakback]

I use this one. Never had a problem with it, and it's gotten to at least 120F in my LC (I had a thermometer in there, but I'm not sure if it can read higher than 120).

That looks good, @gungriffin , my dash isn't in awesome shape so I probably wouldn't care much if I had to drill through it. Plus, my 100 is so modified at this point that whoever is going to want it -assuming I'll ever get rid of it- isn't going to mind permanent modifications. That looks like it would hold a 10" tablet nicely, which would be great for navi.

It works well. I use it with an 8" tablet and my phone.

I installed a wireless phone charger and holder on the handbrake.

I really like it being there. It stays out of the way but, super easy to get too. I can also use the phone to see GPS maps on my stereo.

@jlm43 Have any actual pics?

I think I might have to go with one of the Ben's options

Here you go.

@jlm43 If its not much to ask, can you link me the arm and the phone holder model? What Iphone model is that?

Ben's mount is awesome... I have the one in the dead panel opposite the Hazard/Center Diff Lock on my 98. I ended up with the quadlock system and love the setup.

Here it is with the Ram X-Grip system (which I didn't like really).

This is the one I got and it fits my iPhone Xs with the Otterbox commuter case just fine. If you look at the suction cup mount, you can pull the two screws out of the top and remove the diamond shaped mounting plate that fits right into Ben's mount.

Also, the arms come in a bunch of different lengths. I ended up using a slightly longer one that I already had kicking around.

I used @BenCC’s M2V2 Left version and relocated my hazard & CDL switches to the mirror switch panel. It wasn’t exactly easy, but I’m glad i did it this way.

I've had this for a few years - best phone mount I've used or seen. And for $12!
The adhesive has held in Atlanta's 90++ degree temps and the magnet is great - you can almost toss the phone at the mount.

Same here. I've used this in the last 3 cars I've had and it's so convenient to just grab your phone when you're hopping out of the car. I'm in real estate so I'm in and out of the car all day long. It's the little conveniences that make all the difference.

Media Mount (1998-2007 LX470/Land Cruiser and GX470) with NAV

The Owl Expedition Media Mount is the first step in solving the outdated navigation and radio in the 1998-2007 100 Series Land Cruiser, LX470 and GX470. This bracket mounts into the existing tape deck allowing a 1" RAM Mount ball, and subsequently, any RAM accessory to be secured without any...

A lot of my customers use the MM for cell phones and other gadgets. This ones a bit crazy (2 phones and a radio mount) but you get the idea.

+1 on a tape deck mount, feels great to turn something useless into useful...

 

[Chuychanga]

I just lean mine up sideways on the shelf in front of the speedometer and tach. No mount necessary. It stays up just fine for on-road driving. Wouldn't work off road though. No way am I ever covering up one of my AC vents in the Texas heat. Next step is to get a receiver with wireless Carplay so I can just leave the thing in my pocket all the time.

Great location when using my Curt Echo bluetooth trailer brake controller...

Good luck,

I have that ram mount that people are posting just collecting dust if anyone is interested.

+1 for @BenCC's mount.
I use the change holder one for a phone when DDing and switch to a tablet mount when off road.
I use the center console mount on the right for my Ham radio.

Patiently waiting for the Yaesu FTM-400 mount. These got super popular last year due to the instant rebate and the Wires-X.

^ I've offered my endorsement of this product before, and I'll do it again. It just plain works, and that is all that is needed. No fancy carbon fiber look, no shiny gloss, nothing that doesn't really matter.

@BenCC RAM mount is great. I use it with an iOttie Wireless Qi charger on my Pixel 4, so I don't have to plug in the every time. I wirelessly connect to my Pioneer head unit for Andoid Auto. I found this Arkon 25mm ball to 17mm ball adapter that fits the RAM mount on one end and the iOttie socket on the other. Short RAM socket arm to connect everything. Its meant for Garmin mounts, so it will work for that if needed as well.
