1st Gen Tundra Phone Mount solutions?

I lay mine flat on the trans tunnel, and if it stays there, then i know my dog stayed comfy. Calls are ignored & maps are drawn before the trip.

 

All the air vent/clamp type units suck.

HIGHLY recommend the Course Motorsports unit, which I installed. There is a factory screw behind the front AC panel & a piece of spring steel attaches to this and slips between the panel and dash. Magnetic & offers a MagSafe charger option.

Did have some back & forth as they had initially sent the wrong clip; Course sent the correct part at their expense.

The attachment mount is on a gimbaled ball joint so you can adjust the angle.

Mine in use for 1 year and I’m very happy with it.

Comes with cable.

@assassin10000 I tried to install the garmin mount today and it just fell off. The double-sided tape was not very sticky. I’m not sure if you heated your up before, but it doesn’t like to bend like I thought it would. I removed the old tape was going to install some newer 3M tape. Any help would beappreciated.

 

Did you clean the surface lightly with an alcohol wipe or cotton ball and rubbing alcohol first?

I've redone mine with some 3m double sided tape (grey, 1" wide) in the past.


You might try preheating and shaping it before installing. I probably did.

 

Alcohol beforehand to remove oils and protectants is critical.

But so is heating up the panel if the temps outside are below 50°F. I need to install my replacement camper shell brake light right now. I've been holding off because temps have been sub-40°F.

 

I did clean it with an alcohol wipe beforehand. I’ll try the thicker 3m tape. I just wish our dash was flatter in that area so we didn’t have to contour it.

 

Here’s where I have mine mounted. Routed the charger wire behind the dash.

 

This was my alternate option, and I love it. If I get sick of my current mount, I may switch up. I'm a righty though, so it'd be tough to switch.

 

It was definitely weird to get used to but I like how out of the way it is

 

I finally got the dash mount that @adv_mnd designed. I went with drill in the dash option . I had a local company print the mount which was very expensive compared to what he is offering now on his site. Great and clean option.
