AWESOME!! Thanks for the pics! I'm looking at using this to mount my phone and use a wireless charger or use it to mount a multi gauge!

Please share your experience if you use a wireless charger. I looked at a few but didn't find one I really liked for this combination.

Great pictures! I tried to make it as versatile as possible. I'm happy that you like it!

Can anyone make a distinction between the two finishes? Is the $60 with the double price? How bad could the $30 one be? IU saw someone mentioned being willing to sand and paint the less expensive one themselves. I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone has.

Thanks.

I have the $30 finish and haven't seen the higher priced one, but I'm totally satisfied with the one I have. I didn't see a reason to sand and/or paint. When the phone is on the mount, the mount isn't visible. And when the phone isn't on the mount, you probably aren't in the car!

Same: I bought the $30 one, but I did paint it w Kylon flat black primer + paint, which made it match the dash and smoothed it out.

Combined it with this Sinjimoru mount and ran the cable to the USB plug in the center console.

And you are satisfied with how it works for you? What other mount do you use to hold it in place, one of the magant ones shown here? And does it fit well in landscape?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Here are 2 pics from Oct 2018 (22 months ago) and 2 more pics from tonight. The mount is still firmly attached, no loss in adhesive or magnetic strength. And this is in hot, sunny South Florida too!

Default Interesting Phone Mount

I don’t need it but thought someone else might find it useful. Maybe for your air ride controller.

could it be installed on the driver side for easier access? doesn't seem like it by how it's shaped, though...

Ask the seller, they might have it for RHD cars.

They also have this mount, but looks more out of place than the first one:

I had this mount for my air ride controller, it was perfect.

You can use it on both sides, but it'll be angled towards passenger if you put it on the driver side.

I got the Kuda mount and modified it to make it match better.
