I have searched far and wide and lots of videos and posts later, I cant seem to find a single phone mount solution that actually looks clean. I have seem a lot of mounting options on the top portion with a bulletpoint cage on the top that where you have to drill holes and also put a charging port on there. That's a messy solution in my opinion and takes away the aesthetics from the dashboard to a different level, lots of wires and mess.

I have a simpler idea that I wanted to run past everyone.

Items that I will use:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBQ6DT3W (I swear by this, its a super fast charger with active cooling I have these in my 2 other vehicles)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCL1YSTW ( This seems like a very clean solution, out of the way on the windscreen and the AC vents)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D73FFW35 (A 60w USB C cable 10ft that has a 90 degree angle that will fit under the charger)

With these 3 products, I think I can make this work. I have done some thinking and there may be a way to route the cable behind the center nav screen which will make it look clean. Here are some pictures

The only thing that I am still trying to find is a Quick Charge 3.0 USB C to Care fuse tap adaptor that I can directly plug in. The Quick Charge 3.0 power delivery is important as this wireless magsafe charger needs about 30w because of the quick charge + active cooling feature.


Where I would like the phone mount to go

Where the wire can be routed from

There is a gap in there which I am sure I can fish some wires through to the fuse box.

I like it. My clean mount ended up being an Offroam vent mount and I ran the wires similarly behind the trim on the dash and center console into the 15W port under the armrest storage area.

Thank you, thats the exact base I was going for, however I also saw this one which is cleaner

For the fast charger, what else would I need to connect it to the fuse box?

Mine doesn’t block the airflow at all. The mount only goes to the corner and it sits off to the side. Not my picture but for reference.

Yes, this is nice, however I dont like the dangling wires and that charger is not the one I want to use, the one I want needs 30w and has active cooling also.

Course mount will be significantly more stable then the atach mount, and personally in a better location.

I have the off roam mount too and run the cable up and behind the center trim, driver can’t see the cable.

Just an add a fuse for the fuse block in the passenger foot well.

Go to 4runner lifestyle website, they sell across many platforms look up Lifoam f150 mobile phone holder, it's $59.99 but it is the best holder out there, it's metal not plastic!

I second the Proclip.

No drilling or stick-on. Literally clips.
And choose the holder you favor.
Puts the phone in line of sight well enough that the infrared eye-nanny doesn't even complain. (and she can be wickedly obnoxious)

Only complaint is they are proud of it too.

Can you show us how you routed your wires so they are not dangling about?
