Not the way I read it. My understanding is he can't find a phone mount for picatinny that doesn't look ridiculous. I have picatinny on order as well, second guessing that, may go with the smooth option instead.
My whole point is that the phone mount above can be used on a picatinny as well as a smooth so I was curious if that particular phone mount would be considered ridiculous looking in his eyes. Because if not then he would be all set.

Got it. I haven’t really looked in to mounts yet, but see nothing wrong with the one you shared.

Are people mostly ordering the Picatinny or M-Lok BAM? I ordered the Picatinny BAM yesterday but am now having 2nd thoughts as I can't find many phone mounts that don't look ridiculous with it.
There isn't a Picatinny or M-Lok choice.
Both rails are Picatinny.

M-Lok is a proprietary thin "rectangular" cut that belongs to Magpul that doesn’t use a cross cut
Unless Eightlug did some fancy machining on the underside of these rails they will not take M-Lok accessories.

These choices are the "mil spec" version with all the cross cuts and the other choice is long gaps between the cuts. The long gap version would limit where you could put something ONLY IF you were using a "mil spec" mount that indexes in the slot.

So, unless you are utilizing a mount that indexes in the slot, they will both operate and look the same.

I've ordered the Picatinny. You think the below looks ridiculous?

That's not too bad although I do prefer a more minimalist magnetic mount where the mount disappears behind the phone. Thank you for sending.

How is the visibility with basically a 3rd A-pillar since the mirror is so low.

Thomas, that is actually a picture of what Curtis at Archetype was using in his ride, I don't have my vehicle yet, but my phone set up is the same. I will let you know if I can still see out my windshield when I do get the car.;)

I might have to strategically place it over an inevitable crack in the windshield.

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!

Well we've made it to December @EIGHTLUG , when are these going to start to ship out? You should even have the fancy boxes by now. Still hoping this will beat my Bronco to my door, so it's ready to install as soon as I take delivery.

Curious to understand the value of mounting the iphone on the dash/rail when car play works very well. Aside from watching a movie or doing email.

Car Play actually sucks quite bad in the Bronco using Sync4. The integration into Sync4 for Teams, Zoom and regular phone calls often have a 70% failure rate where you cannot control the muting, hearing the meeting through the speakers or significant background noise (my biggest pet peeve) even when not driving.

The rail system for me will provide a mount point for a GMRS base station, tablet running OnXOff-road (since Ford can't seem to get their act together on their performance app) and (2) phone mounts - driver and passenger. All of which will be powered by the LUX package outlet using a USB hub which will be under-mounted on this rail system.

I personally am QUITE excited to receive my rail. Hoping it comes in the next few weeks.

I share your excitement for the rail system. My thoughts centered on the mounting of a phone since my car play experience has been decidedly different from yours. I do like the idea of passenger and driver mounting, that is something I had not considered.

I do a significant amount of conference calls on the road. If I have CarPlay disabled and just use the native BT integration into Sync4 I have none of the above issues.
