    I've been hating having my phone mount on the vent because it obstructs it and I don't like the window suctions since it gets in the way so this was my solution. It blocks the drivers side cupholder so I'm considering mounting it on the left side switch panel but I'm going to get all the materials to wire it up so the chord to the wireless charger is hardwired through the dash before mounting it over there.

    I used a quad lock on my bike and loved it's tempting to go back Something I'd probably do is drill a hole in a blank switch and run the wire through that just so it doesn't have a hole in the space but I do like the setup and it looks clean. Is that an ethernet port on the switch panel?

    It is, my GMRS radio uses a cat5 cable, so I mounted the brains of the radio under the passenger seat, and ran the cat5 cable to the dash, and then to a female/female plug that I glued into a switch blank.

    I also have a quad lock on my bike, so just made sense to put in the truck too. Plus the bike has a little more technology than the truck :anonymous:

    I used several items to mount my electronicals. Take a look at how the Panavise mount for the 2nd Gen looks (Overlander mounted to it) you could easily make this or buy it. It clips behind the climate controls.
