I purchased this on Amazon as my Iphone, with or without the case does not charge. It glows orange but nada, zip, nothing... Anyone else having this issue? Amazon.com

Hmm, in my Tundra I had two phone mounts so my wife had a place to stick her phone in the passenger seat. Maybe I need to add one where you have it for that. Thanks for sharing.
How do you actually have this mounted there?
I use that area, but just lay it there and use the lip of the drink area cover to keep it in place.
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.
I did that for awhile first, but it can fall off pretty easily with bumps or corners. About the third time I had to retrieve my phone from the passenger floor I decided to mount it there.
I actually copied this too and added a second mount for my wife while traveling and she seems to really like having it there.
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.

@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.
