    Another vote/note to check the battery. The architecture with the computer module(s) in all modern vehicles is really fragile and sensitive to very small power supply changes. Catch a millisecond update between any given computer module updating during a miniscule power drop and you can get a code thrown. Might want to check alternator output as well. I have arrived at a point where if the battery is 3 years old or more, I expect to replace it with any hint of issues to eliminate the potential weak link.
    Sure hope electrical design on autos will catch up a bit more on real world usage.

    Here ya go... Just FYI, my phone mount is to the left (where the hat is), and I have a third mount to the right of it for the wife's phone, iPad or whatever else she decides to bring!! ...and no it does not interfere or block the view of the NAV screen or obstruct my vision of passener front 1/4 through the windshield. From normal sitting position in the driver's seat it actually sits below the bottom of the windshield and dash line. I'm pretty sure I kinda shot this photo from about chest high :thumbsup:

    That's a good-looking cap but I'm not familiar with the logo. Can you 'splain please?

    Sure... It's one of Tom's limited release items from https://www.toyomafia.com/goods

    ToyoMafia - Drop is Live! Selling out fast.

    The second link is to his latest drop (DeadDuks 2.0), and you'll see he's got some stickers listed in there as well w/the same logo :thumbsup:

    I like that idea for the rear facing camera. I have mine mounted high in the window but during the summer months I have a tent mounted above the bed on a 10" rack and it blocks the camera. I'll have to steal this idea so that it'll still have a view when the tent is mounted.

    Can't speak to the other errors but my truck occasionally has the trailer controller malfunction. Toyota charged me a diagnostic fee to tell me they needed my truck for a day and it would likely cost me another $500 or so. One of the errors was a ground fault positive error, so I am guessing my landscape trailer has a frayed wire somewhere. Typically if I unplug the trailer, turn the truck off, reseat the plug then fire the truck up...no errors.

    I believe there's better mounts (that can still be used w/the Rago dash plate) that vibrate less...

    The arm part is super solid (Ram), cuz I get zero vibration on the SGiii

    But, the Ram phone mount (using the same arm) vibrates a bit. I think many have used Solid Off Road or Roam mounts w/better stability :notsure:

    He's definitely a fun and dynamic artist...

    I'm sure you've seen/heard these, but if not, he did several 'freestyle' drops on youtube right before releasing TM3 (BloodySunday, Mt. Dew Mouth, Elvis Messy) that really show off his talent and skill :thumbsup:

    If you go back to several years when he did some collabs w/Travis Baker, I really enjoyed those...

    If you end up w/a Rago dash plate, I would suggest purchasing an ICS Fab support plate which is a 'backer', as that will mitigate any dash flex. It it used in conjunction with the Rago or other plates and mounts on the underside of the dash...

    Ok, thanks! As far as a plate goes I've sent something to @snivilous to look at and see if we can work out a plate to house 2 tweeters and could possibly work some mount locations into it when he gets time to look at it, I will check out that support plate.

    Shipping from ICS is kinda high for what it is, so if you're already working w/Toby, I'd just have him fab up a support plate for you as well, but the ICS image will definitely give you an idea of where to start :thumbsup:

    If I'm understanding your question correctly... this is the holder for the SGiii, which I have connected to a Ram arm, that is connected to the Rago plate. I'd assume as long as the victory plate will take the ball connector, then it should work w/your set up as well.

    https://advtr3d.com/products/scangauge™-3-to-ram®-ball-adapter

    If you're talking about the backing plate, I have an ICS Fab plate which mounts under the dash, essentially sandwhiching the actual dash between the Rago plate (exposed) on the top side and the ICS plate (not exposed) under the dash... which provides rigidity to the entire set up!

    Yep, that's it.
    What Ram arm/balls did you get?

    These mount to the plate...

    RAM Mounts GPS RAM-B-238U Diamond Ball Base with B Size 1" Ball

    These mount whatever holder you are using to the ball on the plate (the holder must have the same size ball)...

    RAM Mounts RAM-B-201U Double Socket Arm (Medium) Compatible with RAM B Size 1" Ball Components

    Use the shortest arm possible that gives you the reach and adjustability that you are looking for to reduce vibration (I think they have 3 sizes)

    I used the medium for my SGiii and phone mounts, and I have a large arm that's positioned further back on plate that the wife uses on her side!
