Hey guys.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount/hold my cellphone in my truck.
I'm using an Android phone and a Black-Box app (records video, speed, G-Force, etc). It needs to be able to see over the dash.
I bought one of those suction-cup holders, but the angle just isn't right. Also, in the hot Florida sun, I expect it to fail and I certainly don't want an object flying around the cab in an accident.
What I've come up with, is to remove the center vent and mount an L bracket in it. I tried using double back tape, rated for 2 pounds. It lasted about 30 miles before it fell off. I didn't think it would hold, but it was worth a try.
So now I'm thinking I need to screw the bracket into the dash.
I'm looking for options or ideas - better yet - what are you doing to secure your phone to your dash? Is there a particular mount you're using?
I need one that can see out the front window, stays within arms reach, sturdy and doesn't bounce around as much as the truck does.
Any suggestions please? I'd rather not start hacking up my dash.
Thanks in advance!
