Has anyone come up with a good way to mount your phone? There is very little storage in the cockpit, so it would be nice to have the phone up out of the way.
 
I have the ram mount with the mag safe attachment on my windshield right now. I didn’t want to put any adhesive on my dash to hold the arms.
 
Here's what I did

How do you actually have this mounted there?
I just bought the mount, peeled the paper off the adhesive tape, carefully lined it up and pressed it on there. It works great there as long as I don't want to use the front cup holder for a drink. It will work with a water bottle, but it's not great if you have a large Chick fil A cup.

Got it! Didn’t realize it was adhesive based, thanks
 
I have a Qi2 magnetic charger purchased from Amazon stuck in that wasted area around the 12v plug. I used Gorilla double-side tape and it is stuck on there tight. I had to move the Qi2 charger over a bit when I purchased the slightly larger iphone 16 and I couldn't believe how hard it was to pull the charger off the plastic there. I have a Thinborne carbon fiber magnetic case and it clicks right into place and hold tight. My last iphone 12 didn't have a case with a magnet in it and it didn't stick as well. The phone sits a couple mm above the cup holder sliding cover and doesn't interfere with it at all (not that I use the cover anyway). It also isn't in the way of any cups or drinks that you put in that back holder. I like it there because I can scroll through my phone with it mounted if needed. Also, the 12v socket cover still slides down and you can use the socket - I used it this past weekend to plug in the compressor for an air mattress while camping.

Anyone have any idea on where one could add a RAM Mount. We use a Garmin Thread with RV software and Satellite communicator. Some States don't allow window mounts. Wondering if this track rail could be mounted dash shelf next to the 14" display.
 
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.

@Robkelhare, your mount and setup looks pretty good for your phone. .To be clear, it's a motorcycle fork mount that fits snugly into you Cig lighter hole.

My Garmin 10" Tread GPS weighs 32.8 ounces or 930 grams and uses a 1.5 inch ball mount, C-size. I could probably change that to a 1" ball. I have the tough track mounted to my dash on my Jeep GC and it is very secure. Still waiting on my white GX OT+.

Seems BRCOVAN does not really have website and sells via EBay & Amazon as complete kits.

Yes, it's a motorcycle mount. And purchased on Amazon.

I have an OT+ and there isn't that much room, especially if you have HUD. At 2lbs and 10'' I would look at computers/tablet mounts that utilize the passenger seat bolts.
 
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.
