I use a windshield mount down low so vision is not compromised. Close to the 12 volt for long trips

I had the same concern about scratching... my other concern is - blocking part of the vent (that's a big deal when its triple digits 24/7 for three months straight).
I do like the idea of having better access than the built in phone channel/holder.
Wonder how brittle the plastic might become and you may have to add a swivel base since reviews at ProClips mention the phone is not at a great angle for glancing at it. Not to mention it's around 75 for the mount and base but I do like it's not on window in direct sunlight and still catches some cool air without blocking.

I thought I wanted a mount when I first got the truck, but I’ve learned to just use the BT interface, even for texts. Most often the phone goes either in the storage area directly south of the cup holders, or I just set it in the armrest. Seems to never move and it’s almost impossible to drive aggressively in Maui. I rarely use the magnetic charger as it seems like my phone will get way to hot when heavily used, especially when using streaming services and google maps at the same time, but only when combined with charging. Plus I hate clutter..

this is what I have installed. Plugged it into the power socket, rotated so my phone is in landscape mode, and only $25. Bought it from amazon.
super easy to remove when I put my windshield shade up.

IF that came with your truck...
And yes I could install it, but sight wise it’s rather low

The phone mounts (in my opinion) offer much better angles and vision while driving. And having a wireless charging option that doesn’t require a case change is pretty nice.

Guess I don't see the need for seeing the phone while driving with phone connected either Bluetooth it android auto with cord. and if plugged in for Android auto it charges faster than through wireless.

you will not need a cable cause its plug in you lighter so it charging your phone and holding it at the same time.he asked how can you charge with out the cable.none is needed.you can charge a phone and not need a cable,whether your truck came with one or not.you can still charge it by using that type of holder cause it in the lighter.

I was referring to in home wireless charging. I dont want to have to take the case off. My ram doesn't have the wireless charging. The trough in the console sits to low for me. I want something up near the 8.4 screen.
I ordered the Course Motorsports mount last night. I'll report back. It looks like a solid mount.
