Low profile phone mount

can you show picture of yours please?

 

Hooks onto the top rail trim piece. No drilling which is the best part.

 

Then its similar to this one with no adhesive either.

 

Do you have a link to the one you bought? I see a bunch of different ones.

 

How does it hook onto the top rail trim? Did you make something yourself or buy it?

 

Bought it from a guy on etsy. It is a 3D Tacoma specific print that just hooks onto the lip and holds well. Here is a stock photo:

 

Cool, thanks. I saw another 3D printed mount on Etsy, but this looks better since it has a flat front that could accept different holders.

 

This is what I have and it’s perfect. Holds well and doesn’t move. I added some 3M tape to make sure, but it was pretty solid before. Completely out of view when the phone isn’t there.

 

I have this same set up. It works well for most driving and simple dirt roads. It doesn't so so well when you start doing more technical trails or are on a bumpy forest road for some time. I like to keep the phone in landscape mode also, so it doesn't block the engine display.

 

This is what I use. I don't think anyone uses the CD player anyway.

 

Well, after looking at many options, I bought the $10 WizGear magnetic mount w/ adhesive back from Amazon. Then I built my own attachment base that clips onto the dash trim. I used playdoh to take a mold and do a cardboard mockup. Then cut profile out of a scrap PVC picket. I spray painted it silver since I didn’t have black. Works surprisingly well. Here are the process photos:

 

Now patent the clip and start making more of them. Charge $12 for the piece... Buy a few more of the mounts and upcharge them 2$.

 

Too much work Plus there are a couple of guys selling similar clips (3D printed) on Etsy. One product only had a left-right motion and the other supposedly had a weak magnet (according to reviews). The third guy no longer makes them. So I built my own - it took me an hour or so and we'll see how long it lasts.
