    Here is my setup. I replaced the standard arm with the 3way articulating arm due to it being to close to the wheel and hitting it with my hand. I also added a usb outlet right below for charging. (Would love to see a wireless solution though)

    The one used in the original OP works well for me, but i bet it depends on driving style and hand placement. I haven't hit my hand on it once and i can reach the phone with my fingers if i need to without taking my hand off the wheel. Although I haven't been in any extreme driving conditions where i am really working the wheel.

    Yep.
    Thanks for the hardware @motionridr8!

    Received in two days after payment. Take the easy way, give this man a couple bucks for the hardware. Much easier than self sourcing :D
