    Yeah I’m working on a usb power outlet attachment, I’ve ran into a couple issues lately but I will release that, for now though I put notches on the plates that allow a cable to be run through for these kinds of applications.

    Always happens! Haha.
    The tracking for some reason often ends up in the spam/junk mail folder.

    Good choice on the holder. My favorite and convenient that it’s got an existing 1” ball mount.

    Thoughts so far?

    After sitting on my desk for a month, finally got this bad boy installed. It's a sleek product and looks really nice. I was afraid it would be a little too obnoxious in my sight picture but it really isn't. I was able to pair it with a behind-dash USB port for the Qi magnetic wireless charger I used. The products I used (besides the USB cigarette adapter) are mentioned in the product discussion below. Long story short, I used some wire and an add-a-fuse to supply up to 15A to a cigarette block with the adapter, which feeds the wireless charger. All sits behind the dash. According to my S10+, I am getting "Fast Wireless Charging" which is exactly what I was shooting for!

    I finished it at night so I'll have to post some pics this weekend.

    If enough are curious, I can explain the long story.

    Do you find that your Tackform holder shifts to the side when you put your phone in one-handed? I find that no matter how hard I tighten the RAM mount arm, I can't get it to stay in one place when I press my phone into the mount with one hand (due to the pressure it applies laterally while putting in the phone).

    I'd be really interested in some pictures and a short write up of how you tapped/wired the power. I am so awful with electrical things it would be really helpful. It's the one thing holding me back from taking on this project.

    mine was fairly stiff at first. I added a few drops of WD40 to the two pins it slides along when expanding and that helped quite a bit. That, and using it more loosened the spring up.

    You got it! Give me some time to write it up. I don't intend to self-promote, but I was just going to stuff it in my build thread so I don't have to reiterate it down the road.

    You could try to run this cable through your one of these notches to clean up the set up a bit.

    They are the same, the kit includes an arm and a ball mount.
    ***If I understood your question correctly....

    Did you mean to ask about the other kinds of mounts?

    Yes, I typed that wrong. I meant to see if anyone had any input on magnetic mount vs the swivel mount options.

    Thanks!
