    vent mount here, but i rarely use it. Only if I am going on a roadtrip or something where I don't know where to go. Otherwise it's never clipped in

    I have the Nite-Ize Steelie car mount and it works great. It lets you adjust the phone in just about an direction and the magnet that sticks to the back of the phone lets me mount it a ton of other places......like the roof of my car (saved my ass when I set the phone up there and forgot it until 4mi later). The only con so far for me in the almost year that I've had it is I've demagnetized no less than 3 debit cards!! Don't set your phone on your wallet or put it in your pocket anywhere near your card.....I'll learn one day I guess. The bottom photo is from their website just to show how it looks with the phone mounted. I have a case on my phone and I stuck the magnet to that. I chose this location because it didn't interfere with any of the controls and it wasn't sticking up in front of my face. IMG_3810.jpg Nite Ize.jpg

    I had that in my previous car. Works great, you just have to make sure you put the magnet on the right spot on your phone. If you put it too low your phone will slowly turn upside down like mine did. Once I moved it, it worked great. I didn't see a good spot that I liked on my new Tacoma, so I went with something different.

    Same here. Don't be the douche-bag that cracks up your Tacoma because you can't stop playing candy crush while driving.

    I prefer pornhub while driving to candy crush. Some of us use our phone for GPS as well as candy crush

    Some of us have gps in the truck. Much simpler. BUT... No pornhub app on the entune (yet).

    Factory GPS is decent, but you have to pay every year to update, Google maps has traffic updates, and it's always up to date.

    Truck has traffic updates, too.

    I wasn't aware about the paid updates. Interesting.

    I believe every manufacturer charges to update it yearly. Not positive on Toyota.
