First Bronco bolt accessory -- phone holder by Tackform

[YourWrightHome]

I got to spend about 45 minutes driving one around town yesterday and that was about my only complaint. There is really no where to put a phone other than the cup holder. As far as this mount it is located way to far from the driver. The only logical place I seen to put a mount was a suction cup on the windshield which I hate.

Here’s a first Bronco gadget, by tackform.com. I assume we shall start seeing more of these options coming soon.

I like the concept. Suction cup mounts suck. Leaves window suction marks. Vent mounts are junk. This seems more adjustable and cosmetically pleasing.

Because Apple CarPlay and Android Auto don’t exist.

Isn’t this what Apple Car Play is for? I don’t currently have it, but really was hoping I could ditch the phone in the cup holder or weireless charging slot and just have everything I need up on the 12 in screen. I don’t get the point of this.

Not trying to be rude but isn't that what her hands are for?

So... many... jokes... to... resist, resist, resist

Maybe not a fan of this specific idea... but seeing some concepts gets my brain turning. I hadn't considered just using the device as the bolt and leaving the handle. The hamster wheel is spinning... I'll come up with something I like sooner or later. Yay for 3d printers!

Fail to see how that's exciting, looks like any generic phone mount you can get on Amazon.

Yep. That's exactly what it is for. I don't plan to do anything other than toss my phone on the wireless charger and off we go.

Man.
SO much pivot.
Many Adjustable.
Moar clunky.
Very ball mount.
For those who don't know of the old Doge memes, this is lost and you think I can't form a coherent sentence.

This is an issue with Jeeps as well. Where to put the phone in an older one W/O the carplay and such so that you can use the nav and such?
What holds it in a decent position, snugly, in an already tight interior?
I had one of the Rugged Ridge holders on my TJ.
Rubber stops broke right off on the trail and phone went flying out the passenger side, so like a douche I had to stop to find/get my phone.
Options are vent clips or suction mounts (both talked about above and they suck), replacement ones like just broke (nope), Really expensive ram-mount types, or the bolt-on one I installed where it uses the grab handle bolt on the dash. And now that I have fought the hidden 10mm nut on the backside to get it installed...it sucks more than I hoped. Spring loaded combo drink/phone holder and it does neither well but both sort-of.
Brings me to this monstrosity.
Wow how clunky and odd. And awkward.
There will be better ones.
Tackform: I'd revisit this design. We see what your intent is, but execution is lacking.

Like a piece of 2" square glass with a bolt hole in the middle so you can just use any one of the hundreds of existing windshield suction cup mounts already on the market?

If this is what gets people excited about Bronco Bolts, I'm out

Furthermore I will stick with my Quadlock mount

You've not been introduced to Ram X mounts, Quad Lock, or Rokform?

No... not RokForm. Not till now. That looks like a good system.
Quad lock not a fan of.

one of the things i love about the bronco is the android auto functionality, i run plex on my home server with all my movies, shows and music collection, so i can run plexamp through android auto in the bronco and have access to my entire music collection without ever connecting a wire to anything or having a phone up in my field of view, just drop in on the wireless charger and go
