    @luckydon13 Clean the surface with a good quality wax and grease remover, let it dry completely before installing the mount. 3M also makes an adhesion promoter for their double sided tape line, highly recommended. Lastly, wait at least 24 hours after installing the mount before u hang ur phone on it.

    I use the same mount with a Rokform phone case. It’s great for Gooogle Maps. I can’t see speed below 10 or above 110 mpg but I don’t think anyone cares at either of those speeds lol

    Links to parts. Might just replace stock radio and go with a Bluetooth head unit.

    Why not just use a Bluetooth adapter to use with your stock stereo.

    It's actually the blank switch for where the power mirror switch would go in trucks that didn't come with power windows or locks but came with power mirrors.

    If you want use the Soundstream VRN 65HB, extremely simple install and has good fitment. And fairly cheap too.     ​

    yeah it works all the time, kinda bright so if you're one to get annoyed by a light in the corner of ur eye at night then I wouldn't get it. But it works really well, shows current in system while driving around 14.2v and when not around 12.2v. Its also cool cause you can see how much ur devices are drawing.

    Link to your unit of choice? That sounds like a budget solution that could work with my '04 Highlander.

    word for word what I did, but I also used a hair dryer to heat the tape and surface up a little bit, it helped...also did that with my window visors.
