Phone mount

[Overandunderland]

I have to work with my dealer's shop once my GX comes in. Hoping I can mount on the dash shelf beside the 14" display on the passenger side. Works really well on my Jeep GC and the Garmin Thread when out of cell phone coverage.

I use a super heavy duty arm system that fits like a vice inside the one of the cupholders. Best ones are at iboltmounts.com. Easy to run cable from cupholder to USB jacks too. This is the only approach that satisfied all my requirements: total adjustability, rigidity, phone close and angled toward eyes, and no chance of phone turning into missile and hitting face in accident or rollover. Plenty of other place for drinks in door, cooler, and rear center row. You can also put other things on arm, like a reading light or tablet, if you ever need to switch things up.

I have the BRCOVAN motorcycle fort stem mount 1'' ram base in the lighter hole. Going to the MagSafe 1" ram. I chose to put a piece of rubber in the bottom of the lighter hole, but you can pull the fuse or disconnect it.

This seems like the best solution. I found the stem mount and 1"ram on Amazon. What is the piece called that connects the two?

Just got the pro clip installed …only viable route I liked after doing some research
Doesn’t take up any infotainment space or center console area. Some time will tell if I like it.

I just finished 3D printing a mount that uses an Apple MagSafe charger and uses the car 12v plug hole

Need one of these. I keep thinking there has to be a MagSafe option out there that just plugs into the lighter. This is exactly what I had in mind.

If you have something in a case with a 1/4" socket, the NEEWER Super Clamp with dual ballhead arm (Amazon) grabs onto the rail above the glove box, so you can have it at the same height as the Lexus screen.

Phone mount

I'm going to visit a stereo shop to have some dynamat sound deadening material applied inside my truck and I'll also ask them to splice in a USB-C charger and put the plug up in the dash somewhere down in the passenger footwell so that I don't have to have the charger plugged in right there on the dash. Maybe I can find a way to route the magsafe charging puck's wire back behind the dash cover too....may have to drill a hole.

Wow.... That might be the absolute perfect phone mount for the GX. Can you post the print files?

I use a phone mount that sits in the cigarette lighter, charges the phone wirelessly, and raises the phone up so it's easier to see. It does not use MagSafe to keep the phone in place. Instead, it has arms on the side and the bottom that automatically open and then close, so my friends with other types of phones. can also use it.

Can you take a pic of this in your truck? Just want to see how much space it takes up

If anyone recently grabbed this, I uploaded an older version of the post that didnt have the best clearance/angle for the phone so I've now updated with my latest version and the one I'm satisfied using daily

It’s worked really well. Only downsides are
1. Can’t access the 12v plug
2. I wish this short USB cable wasn’t so unnecessarily thick. A thin cable would work much better, but it’s a nitpick item.

Thank you JustinB!

I just installed and secured the same parts setup you have. I secured the charging puck with a SMALL piece of double sided nano tape (it becomes semi-permanent with time!!). The placement allows me to easily remove the phone if I need to access the 12v outlet, and I can open/close the cup holder if needed. My regular size iPhone 15 Pro mounted doesn’t interfere with a drink cup.
