ARCHETYPE RACING | BAM-BYODR (Billet Aluminum Modular Bring Your Own Device Rail)

[Stefanmcd]

The arms are Medium on passenger side, Small on drivers side. Doing it over, I might have ordered both Medium and then controlled the length on driver side by putting arm at angle. I ordered the small because it was better in the "notch" where dash is shorter on drivers side. But if I want it in the middle part, it is a hair short.

The phone charges are Belkin Boost Charge Magnetic Wireless Car Charger 10W. I have these in various cars and love them. They hold pretty strong. The cables that come with them stick out to the bottom WAY to much so I replaced those with a u-shaped cable from Poyiccot. Finally, the cables plugged in to the dash also stick up too high in front of window so I put L shaped connectors there and now it looks fantastic. You need one that is USB-C to USB-C and one that is USB-C to USB-A. Finally, you need to replace the vent connector on the phone charger with a 17mm to 20mm ball connector.

Fantastic! Thanks for the response and great detail with links, super helpful. I think the only thing I might do different is add a USB hub and tuck it under the rail.

I considered that as well. Someone posted this one but I'm always concerned with he hubs not working correctly. If the ports are not high powered, they won't charge well.

Got my Tech Bronze installed and man it is awesome!! Even without anything mounted yet it gets noticed by every person that gets in the Bronco. Great work @EIGHTLUG! looking forward to adding more of your products to this rail.

Any feedback on whether this color reflects in the windshield?

I’m looking for examples of mounting a mobile ham radio, including good ways to get the coax through/around the dash

Do the existing ports supply enough power to fast wireless charge?

I would say no. The phone does seem to take a lot longer to charge. I just think adding a hub would make it even worse.

I'm sure you're correct. I may try to get a more powerful USB source up there somewhere. I love the convenience of wireless charging, but running android auto sucks power faster than standard charging seems capable of replenishing.

I've been using it with iPhone CarPlay and it seems to keep up. I also have the wireless charging pad built in, but that sucks because the phone always moves off of it.

there is no reflection on my bronco. Now I don't know if that is because of the color (which I love) or because I have the windshield tinted, 72% which is almost unseeable.

I agree. I wish the wireless pad was a magcharger mine is always sliding off the charging spot.

My second Bronco just arrived, now I need a second rail.

 

[BroncoDymond88]

I haven’t tinted my windshield and I got the dark grey smooth rail. There is a definite and prominent glare that I didn’t expect, but can live with.
