I just want a place for my phone to live while driving. Android Auto is great, but I still need to access my phone sometimes(old habits maybe, still learning AA). The wireless charging pad is practically useless, and if I keep that area open just for my phone, I am loosing storage space for other things.
I used a ball mount + cell holder that can be turned portrait or landscape, so in portrait it was basically a pillar going up to the mirror. On a 2,300 mile road trip it never bothered me visibility-wise. I'm with you, though. I'd like to find a mount that holds landscape where the bottom edge of the phone is just above the BAM-BYODR.
Anodized rail parts are inbound. We’re prepping boxes today and probably every day from here on out for BAM orders. Lots of boxes….
Thank you for all your work on these. Excited to outfit my bronco
While I have not tried most of what you mentioned, for me the carplay (wireless or otherwise) was great. In fact far superior to my 4Runner I traded in. At least for navigation apps and music. I'm having fun in my Bronco, no Zoom meetings allowed!
SEND IT!AR | BAM BYODR (Billet Aluminum Modular Bring Your Own Device Rail)
Here are your saucy renders of the three standard colors on the two rail designs. We have Picatinny available in Graphite Black, Tech Bronze, and Tumbled Matte Clear.
Pricing... Everyone wants to know what this sweet piece of kit will cost.
$275.00 shipped. BRONCO6G members will get 20% off ($220)! If you want in on the pre-purchase, before it's on the website or available anywhere else, here's what I'll need you to do. The parts won't be available outside of BRONCO6G until after November 5th or after SEMA wraps up.
Step 1: Reply to this thread with 'SEND IT' and I'll add you to the list on Post #2. Your place on the list isn't necessarily the order you will be receiving your AR | BAM BYODR, because they will be produced in bulk and orders fulfilled as they roll out of anodizing.
Step 2: PM me with your (actual) name, shipping address, and email. Also include the color and rail type you desire. I'll email you with a custom invoice with the BRONCO6G Member Discount applied. This will be applicable to 2 uses. I can go to 3, 4, or even 5 if you have that many BRONCOS. I know some of you will have more than one Bronco. This is also a way to grow the community and drive traffic to the website. This offer will also be available to all existing and new BRONCO6G members, beyond November 5th.
-Smooth Rail Option-
There's also the smooth rail option. Same colors are available.
Graphite Black, Tech Bronze, and Tumbled Matte Clear.
Being that the entire unit is modular, you'll be able to order one rail smooth and one rail Picatinny, if you so desire. In the end, it was just easier to produce the two rails separately. As always, we appreciate the support!
Nothing but tension and gravity in this design. I am going to 3M/VHB tape the ends on mine for added rigidity and so it doesn't rattle.
so ford hypes up a rail.. doesn't even give us one.. then only allows a single center mount? lol TF? I live in Phoenix... tape up there is useless.
3M VHB tape is good up to 200 or 300 degrees, should hold up fine for just keeping the ends secured to the dash.
copy. i'll look into it. ty @VelocityBronco
*laughs in Phoenix*
The AR | BAM naturally uses the center mount point that's provided. Once in place, the center mount bracket floats just above the dash mount location. As you tighten the hardware, preload is added to the outboard mounts. The 'feet' index on the recesses on the left and right positions of the dash to mitigate rotation. I took the rail on a 1,250+ mile inaugural trip and there were zero rattles or vibrations to report.
