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.

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?

Yeah I just posted mine installed
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.

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
