I use the glove box above the steering column. It's a super convenient solution that doesn't take up any extra space, doesn't block any AC vents, doesn't have to be stuck on the windshield 2 feet away, no need to 3M tape anything to your car. It sits right in the little groove, and the lid rests on the phone keeping it in place. Best of all, when I'm using my phone as a map, it's right in my line of sight.

 

I've seen a post, letme think, oh yea 'cockpit', and this dude had the setup for you with the notepad and all the gizmos, even had the Sheriff toy figure watching over everything. Search some more...

 

Lol I think that was me 😜
Ram mounts for the phone and iPad, the X mount the phone is in is excellent.

 

Check out the mounts made by both Panavice and Ram - many of us use these for a wide variety of size devices. I’ve used Panavice for years and it’s accepted an increasingly large size iPhone.

 

I use this as I didn't want one clipped to my vents. It's great!

I bought mine off Amazon.

 

Oh and ”the sheriff toy” is a Lego man...their hands are perfect to hold cables 😜

 

Classic!

Looks solid, where are you mounting the taped magnet? Under the far left drivers side vent? Or did you screw it in?

 

I have this on both my '11 &' 07

Its a "wireless" charger, meaning the usb plugs directly into the charger. (I hate cords & crap dangling all over!)
I have it positioned so the dash compartment door clears w/ phone in & I can still see the "3 Wise Men"
perfect spot for viewing Waze, Google Maps, etc.(I also have 12.3" head unit, but I like the better line-of-sight w/ this)
to install I bought a 3' flat USB cable (the one I bought off Amazon is no longer available, but eBay has several listed)
& ran it under the dash pod, (which is why I liked the flat cable) connected it to this USB hub*
*(optional, but nice for future expansion)

Then hardwired it to this 12v to 5v hardwire converter (one & done... I don't fit well under the dash)

nice work!

 

What did you do TO your FJ Cruiser TODAY?

This may sound weird but we are always doing something like 4x4, washing , a good coat of wax picture, a new sticker, wheels, lift, super charger or just an oil change the point is what you did today to or with the FJ cruiser. This is my favorite thread on the jeep forum and probably the most...

Not bad but I am confused by the wiring. Almost looks like there is charging going in from a dash wire and a charger cable going out? Or maybe I am just challenged!

 

I got a case and mount from quadlock. It was made for bicycle handlebars but works really good when mounted on the parking brake with the provided O-rings.

This is the best solution I've found. It's very unobtrusive and secure with an iPhone X, 11 and iPad Mini.

I use a similar magnetic mount in the exact same spot.

 

Check out Rokform. I have a magnet on the radio trim. It works phenomenally.

 

I use a similar one made by WIZGEAR like $14 on amazon. Works great!

 

Those solutions don't work for mine.

 

Added a RAM ball to the side of the grey molding and ran a wire to the fuse panel
