    The Full kit is an additional $104 on top of the $35. That will mount it to the vent and clip your phone in. If you have another phone holder that mounts to a ram ball you can use that and order just the parts of the kit you need. But why :)?

    Thanks for the fast reply. What's the need for 2 ram balls ? Can you send me a link so I order correctly and what's the shipping cost and wait time for Hawaii?

    Here's the link:
    http://www.hondogarage.com/index.php/product/landing/un-holey-dash-mount-tacoma-2016

    Choose the Complete Phone Bundle from the drop down near the add to cart button.

    One ram ball bolts to the vent mount and the other bolts to the phone mount. The phone mount can be configured with other types of attachments for motorcycles so the ram ball isn't integrated. Shipping to Hawaii is free but the wait for new orders is about a week and a half at this point.

    Correct. When you add it to the cart you'll see it's 139. The vent mount is $35, and the extra bundled items add 104 to the total. Hence the +104 on the dropdown.

    Thanks Wiley ! Order complete. Brilliant design btw . Don't care for magnets or sticky tape crap , seen this on another thread but hesitated until I saw your video on easy pop in and out tonight, that was my concern and was going to call but no need now! I've used this scoshe for years IMG_1256.jpg

    But is to low , robs my plug port and takes my eyes off the road. Glad I found this post OP.
    Just hope this doesn't block my turn signal lever and effect my AC !

    Besides the Hondo mount, what else do I need to be able to use my iOttie phone clamp? https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Unive...&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=iottie+car+mount&psc=1 I have this in my old truck and wouldn't be using the mount/arm. The phone clamp has a ball mount built into it. I think I would want an arm to raise the phone up and keep it completely out of the way of the vent. It gets awfully cold here in ND and need all the heat I can get!

    You'll still get plenty of flow through the vent and it shouldn't block any of your levers.

    You need a holder that has or can accept a 1" RAM ball. From the link I don't see a ball. If it does have a 1" ball on the back, then you'd need the un-holey mount + ram ball, and a ram arm. if it doesn't have a 1" ball then you'll need a different mount or some fancy dremel skills :D

    I'll have to look at the mount tomorrow but I think it mounts to a 1" ball.

    A little follow up....I love this thing! It works great with my Surface Pro and has had a real positive impact on my mobile productivity. I am thinking about another one for my phone on the left side vent.

    Also, my lady loves this thing to watch her Netflix while we are road tripping.

    @forty2 I'm looking for your mic hanger on shapeways the "shorter fatter switch" to mount my cobra75 but can't find it. Can you post a link?

    Thanks

    I don't know. I can tell you that my Yaesu mic hangs on what is essentially a stepped bushing measuring ~5/8" and 3/8". I'd get you better measurements but my right hand is broken, my bag of parts and fine measuring tools are down in the shop, there's still a bunch of snow on the ground, I'm high as balls (actually not really that high at all) on oxycontin, and I'm just lazy and don't wanna walk down there right now. Seriously though, later today I can get you more accurate specs on my mic so you can compare and see if the hanger will work for you.

    Haha, enjoy your downtime and hope your hand heals up. I broke my hand (along with many, many other bones)many years back and now it serves as a barometer for weather changes. I've been googling up a storm to see if the hanger on the back of the cobra is the same or similar to the Yaesu.
