Will the short double socket work for 2nd gens? mounting an iPhone too it.

 

I think a few here have used one with success.

 

Did this a while back to mount my Spod. Worked great.

 

I used the short one with an iPhone 6, fits perfect. I posted pics a little while back.

Edit: found the pics, my work phone is pictured (Samsung s something)

 

Awesome thank you!

 

Just placed my order for the Ram Mount components. Gonna be mounting an UltraGauge. Will post back once it's all in and done. Thanks for the legwork all

 

Did this a while back. Now I wonder about getting a gps through the brain when my airbag goes off.

 

At least the airbag will know how to get to you...

How is yours mounted?
Mine is behind my steering wheel and that is not a concern for me. Well, at least it wasn't.....

 

Just ordered the items to do this mount, but I'm doing the phone-end a bit different. Instead of the X Grip to hold the phone, I'm putting a flange ball with the Scosche magnetic mount on the end, to allow for quicker on and off. Same parts up to that point, though.

I'll source the M6 x 55mm hex head bolt locally. Will post pics when I get everything from Brown Santa next week.

 

RAM makes a magnetic mount. http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-202-339U

I have one on order. Waiting for an out of stock piece to come in for my order to ship.

 

That's a cool idea. I have the Spigen magnetic air vent mount. It worked great on the vent for super fast access. But during the cold months the phone sometimes overheated being in front of a vent with hot air blowing on it. The option of combining the magnetic holder with the RAM mount on the pillar is pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing pics of this @SeafireXV.

 

Wanted to do the bolt cover mod and use a longer bolt/taller spacer to get the ball a bit farther out from handle and now I can't find the damn cover thingie to drill.......guess it can wait, lol.

 

Got all my parts and installed it. The Scosche mag mount works great, even with my otter box defender on the phone. Need to get used to it being there, and probably going to run a charge cable under the dash and up the pillar, but I like it a lot. It's solid!

 

Will you sell me the bolt cover thingy you removed so I can quit looking for mine?

 

I hate those fucking sucktion cups. They can never stay in place. Tired of dealing with them so I am pulling the trigger and doing what the OP did.

 

What are you doing with this?
