What kind of mount did you use here? I'm not finding anything that matches on Amazon...
That's about the same position I would like mine in.

Good eye. That’s this one:

I have pretty much every Ram arm and adapter you can get.

Look at RAM's Quick Grip line up! I have one in my Polaris General for map navigation. That's probably what you want!

I have never seen such heavy duty gear to hold a cell phone LOL. I use a $19 Skosche suction cup mount to my windshield and it survives PA roads (aka surface of the moon-like).
What are you guys using for phones or roads that need mounts like that?

Which gear are you referring to. The last one posted was mounted in his Polaris SXS so its definitely needed. The other mounts are pretty basic.

I got you beat; I ordered a ten pack of the mini off Amazon. I figured they'd be useful

Here is how I hooked mine up to the dash tray. I really like that Ram ball to Garmin ball adapter. It would have saved me some dough over the XL X-Grip.

I wound up using a 50 mm long one, with nuts and washers as shims, to space it out from the handle.

Did you remove the A-Pillar cover to run the wire, or did you tuck it under the weatherstrip?

I tucked the wire under the weather strip, going down to the kick panel below the steering wheel, and across to the center console.

I can only imagine what the side airbag is going to do to that in an accident. It will probably destroy your phone so you can't use it to call 911.
Just a thought...

I posted this in the other thread. judge for yourself.

I agree might knock the phone out. I don’t see it being a safety issue beyond that.

A crash might knock it out of my cup holder, which is where I keep it now.

Yeah, I agree it's not really a safety issue to the driver...but if your phone gets broke because of it, you may not be able to call 911 right away if you or someone else is injured. That's all I was saying. Chances are slim, but it's there.

Please report back with how it works. I hate having to keep my phone plugged in and charging all the time just to use CarPlay.
