Thankyou for your research. I have just installed same set up in my 4WD. Fantastic. Rock solid. Running the wireless charging mag case for the iPhone. Does not move. 👍👍👍

I also bought a setup for my mountain bike as well as the belt attachment. Thanks heaps for the hard work you did and saved me. Id been pulling my hair out for literally years.......
I’m a quad lock owner and have had the same window mount issues. This video has solved an issue I haven’t got to yet (still waiting for my dmax) Awesome vid as usual
Cheers mate, yeah reckon the quadlock window was the most solid by far from what I found, just doesn't like the heat after about the 6 month mark it seems. Have basically came to conclusion mounted to the window using that sort of style could eventually suffer the same fate over time
@@VideoShowMeHow yeah, thank you, I saw that, but my Pajero central unit doesn't support wireless Android auto, unfortunately, so I have to plug in a wire anyway.
This was the best and most informative car phone holder review I've watched. GREAT Job 👍. I have spent close to $200 on holders that are now landfill residents. Most of them were given positive reviews on YT but as soon as you poo pooed the vent and suction cup holders I knew you were legit. Most of mine have been vent holders and none of them work, I have 1 now that's flopping around right now. Thanks for the honest review.
Watching this video because Im looking for the best phone mount that will hold my phone while racing, er i mean during track sessions. Thanks man! I ended up with something different cause my car from 2013 didn’t exactly plan for people using phones instead of the obsolete gps built into the dash 😅
Adam, you are a legend! I have been doing my head in trying to decide what mount to get for my D'max? And i absolutely love this idea! I cant wait to give this a crack! Thanks legend! 🙌🏼
Nice! This is how DIY reviews/maker videos should be done. You've got me, boss. Can't wait to see the other vids in your library. This cell phone one is, by far, the best video I have seen on cell phone mounts. Have been through all the typical options that you mention. The sun is a killer. Can't wait to apply what you have shown! Excellent!
I was just checking out your dash cam install, I’ve used Quadlock for a few years but I was curious how you set yours up…sure enough you video showed up thanks adam
I always liked the ram mount on my motorcycle. Maybe I’ll try something like this. I have a pile of amazon suction cup mounts on my bedroom floor right now too. Lol great video btw, thanks
This video covers most if not all the concerns for mounts. Unfortunately, there is no perfect mount and/or device. Personalized is the way to go with whatever the preference of the driver.
Hah, In Perth. Those magnet to metal ball worked best but it got so hot it would overheat the phone when I first mounted it each day on the way home in the arvo. Window suction cups just turned hard and yellow pretty quick in the summer. I shall try your setup in my Hilux.
Thanks for another great Video Adam. Does the phone in that position take up much of your windscreen vision? What is the gauges app you are running. I communicated with Scan Gauge back when I first got my new 2021 DMax (October 2020 actually) about EGT and Auto Trans temps but they had not resolved the gearboix temperature at that time. I need both for towing.
Nah, have it postioned so it just sits in behind the A piller. The app is called Torque Pro - if you check out the tow test vid there's a section that I go into detail about it. Basically you can get the everything inc the EGT but the auto temp (this PID hasn't been cracked as yet)
Great idea Adam, im going to make one up, thanks for all your research great work brother... always looking forward to the next video... 🤙VSMH is my favourite channel 😁
Pretty good idea! You really can’t get any better than something that’s screwed in place. Those suction cups always have some wiggle to them and bounce around on rough terrain every time! I found a great bracket that hooks to the rod on the back of my mirror that holds my radar detector. Was hoping to find something like it that would work for my iPhone, but haven’t had any luck yet. Never considered trying to find different parts and Mickey Mouse them together to hold my iPhone. But that just might be the way to go? I’m going to see what I can come up with? As they say, if there’s a will there’s a way!
Thanks, Adam. Great idea just fitted mine to the new model MUX in the same position. RAM & Quadlock should be paying you a commission for the number of fittings they must have sold due to your video. Cheers
Awesome video .... and the other Wireless charger one - super helpful. Is there anywhere that can be used around the centre facia area. Would prefer that if possible so not so intrusive on the forward vision and my wife can use the phone to set up maps etc whilst I'm driving? 👍
Otterbox / RAM make some tablet specific cases that you can put RAM ball mounts on. I've got one on a Samsung Tab A8 that works really well (have to remount it in my new D-Max)
Great set up just you now have a huge blind spot with the mirror and pilar as well? I have the same but with a windscreen mount when I secured it to the windscreen I put a covering of clear silicon on the suction cap been on for 2 years and has not come off same with my previous car on for 5 years.
Hey mate, I stumbled across your site and think your content is on the money. Great even if I have the twin version of your DMax. I've got the BT-50, albeit 4x2 as I don't expect to get off road. One of the things that is a little frustrating is that we need to plug in via USB to access Android Auto. I noticed that you had a cable running to the phone is a there a procedure to conceal the cable?
Question! Does the Quad Lock 360 Dual Pivot arm work with the RAM 9mm Angled bolt head adapter ball base and then the Quadlock Dual pivot arm ball replacement to then add the wireless charger on? Both the RAM and the Quadlock balls are 1” however noticed in your video you didn’t end up using your Quadlock Pivot Arm? Cheers!
Super helpful for a sturdy mount that won't fail; have you been able to take a vibration-free video (on paved roads) with any of these? Have a great camera in iPhone 13 pro; want to take a 2 hour video of a scenic drive in a national park without filming the sequel to the Blair Witch Project. No one has been able to offer any suggestions. TiA!
Now upgrade from the standard Quadlock charge head to the magnetic charge head and you will have to update your case too. This combo will give you a teepee in your pants 🤣.
Hi there, New to your channel, fantastic information. Could you tell me the app youre using for your car info please? I have a ScanGauge ii but what you have looks so much better !
Hi Adam. Ive used quad lock on my motorcycle and they’re awesome. Are you aware that you can also adjust the blue tab in a different position by loosening the centre bolt.
I've got a windscreen mount, been working solidly for the past 2+ years. I think the trick was the plastic/rubber melted to the windscreen and now it's a permanent fixture 🤣🤣😅
Dang you are correct - the length shown in the vid is the RAM B-201U! Apologies all, too many phone mount bits 😖 Links updated. At the end of the day there's a heap of different types of RAM arms, grab the one that suits your needs :)
Is it still holding up I love my quad lock but I got the suction cup one after a year it won’t stick anymore fell off 5 times past couple weeks I need a alternative like your set up
Yeah this is going great, I had the same unfortunately, went through 2 window mounts from quad and a various ram but always the same result. Hard mount is 10000% the way to go imo
@@VideoShowMeHow awesome I think most suction cup mount are junk they end up falling off like you said I’m going order the parts do the same deal for sure thanks for getting back to me on it
@@VideoShowMeHow oh yea it worked awesome for a while my car is lowered it’s a bumpy ride it never came off the mount unless I took it off I saw ur video so I can keep using my quadlock case I like it so much
@@VideoShowMeHow I think different enough. 3mm here, 1mm there and probably different camera/fingerprint holes. I love the non windscreen mount option you've come up with, so might try a complete Ram solution. Do you know if the Ram X holder is even worth the compromise?
@@kthomo079 yeah I ran it on the jeep for a couple years works well. Only downside it's it's a solid two hand gig to attach 😃 First world problems I know but hey lol
The ball size is frustratingly different so some things don't work.. if quad lock bought out the base ball screw mount you could potentially use a quadlock arm and then wireless charger 👍
Good stuff! & very clever.. Quad lock will probably get inspiration from this video for their future product line up 😂 Thanks for the video mate. Awesome once again! 👍👍
Don’t suppose you can monitor the transmission temp in the DMax? If so do you have the codes? I used to run the torque app but it isn’t available for the iPhone unfortunately.
There's a few brands that can stick to a surface, quad lock etc. I've just found if it sits in the sun it eventually fails hence working out this combo
Hi Adam, enjoy your videos, always extremely informative and detailed 👍 Did you remove the screw cover on the handle? I had a look at mine and saw it’s connected to the handle; did you cut it off or just leave it pushed to the side. Thanks.
Expected to be in town on the around the 17th, getting a couple of accessories fitted through the dealer so hope to have it by the 21st maybe 25th at the latest
Interesting… I literally less than a week ago got the quadlock kit for the windscreen and couldn’t believe how strong it attaches to the glass! Not just the suction cup but the super sticky adhesive. Not had a problem yet.
@VideoShowMeHow thank you for your reply. I liked the way u placed the phone holder. mine is a small suv and it doesn't have the grab handle that's the problem.
You don't :( I've tried a heap of different fittings but unfortunately the ball isn't the standard inch size, theirs is a proprietary smaller size so is incompatible.. if Quadlock bring out the screw Ball mount however we're set..
@@VideoShowMeHow Thanks mate. Sorry for been a pain. Did look, eBay link was dead, amazon showed a not available message. Was hoping that a current product was around. Would a OBDlink MX+ do the same job?
Hi Adam, do you think the wireless charger fits on to a 1" ball mount? I can see you have all the parts on the bench.. I am using the wireless charger on the window mount atm. But it fails when hot 😞
@@AlexVanWelderen I got it to work, I did it a couple of months ago after watching this video... I am still waiting on my ram part but got the ball mount on the the wireless charging. I post some photos but by memory I unscrewed the wireless charging (small torque screws) then put the screw (allen wrench screw) through the wireless screw hole and on to the motor bike ball joint minus the quad mount and blue release clip.
@@VideoShowMeHow Yeah I've seen some quadlock video's from overseas where they do that... you have to use the weatherproof Fast charging head rather than the normal one. Would be awesome if you could do a guide on putting USB charging cable to there!
@@steventomlinson197 no vid, but simple answer is the cheap ones may not have all the PID compatibility and the chips in them tend to be quite slow so the refresh time is slower than these ones. I've used a whole bunch of them over the years and found that these seem to be the best.
@@VideoShowMeHow ok, cheers for the response. I'm currently going down the wormhole of way too many options 😅 I'll check out the link for the one that you have 👌
@@VideoShowMeHow oh ok my 2021 has plastic there so i got an ebay dashmat . so u cant remove the dashmat in yours? i mean is it part of the dash or separeted ?

Definitely going to do this did you need to get a longer bolt for the bottom of the handle for the dmax? or did the factory one still work?
Factory bolt worked a treat. Made for it 😁
Did you snap off the plastic tab cover

App is called torque pro and Bluetooth module is an obd2 reader - all linked in the video description 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow Thanks mate. Sorry for been a pain.
Did look, eBay link was dead, amazon showed a not available message.
Was hoping that a current product was around.
Would a OBDlink MX+ do the same job?
@@jeremyunderwood302 should do yep, will update this links cheers
You broke the tab holding the cover didn't you?
Hi Adam, do you think the wireless charger fits on to a 1" ball mount? I can see you have all the parts on the bench.. I am using the wireless charger on the window mount atm. But it fails when hot 😞
No, I've got two of those but couldn't get it to work :(
Thanks for the reply.....
@@AlexVanWelderen I got it to work, I did it a couple of months ago after watching this video... I am still waiting on my ram part but got the ball mount on the the wireless charging. I post some photos but by memory I unscrewed the wireless charging (small torque screws) then put the screw (allen wrench screw) through the wireless screw hole and on to the motor bike ball joint minus the quad mount and blue release clip.
@@VideoShowMeHow Yeah I've seen some quadlock video's from overseas where they do that... you have to use the weatherproof Fast charging head rather than the normal one. Would be awesome if you could do a guide on putting USB charging cable to there!
Test comments Adam I put 2 comments and they seem to disappear .to VSMH .😅
?? Coming in loud and clear?
Unless there's links? (UA-cam doesn't let comments with links through, thinks they're spam)
What is the cost for this?
Have direct links to all the stuffed in the vid description - depending on what you need ~$100
It's just a bad position for road visibility and for not losing pedestrians in the A pillar blind spot.
Nah, have it adjusted down more, just had it there for filming the vid 👍 Suits in line with the a pillar usually
@@VideoShowMeHow it better be, or else. LOL 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Good video but if you haven't got a bolt or screw to put the unit on your out of luck
What obd system are u using please
Obd link in the description and app is torque pro 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow have you done a video as to why you chose it or is it the best option for price? Cheers
@@steventomlinson197 no vid, but simple answer is the cheap ones may not have all the PID compatibility and the chips in them tend to be quite slow so the refresh time is slower than these ones. I've used a whole bunch of them over the years and found that these seem to be the best.
@@VideoShowMeHow ok, cheers for the response. I'm currently going down the wormhole of way too many options 😅 I'll check out the link for the one that you have 👌
@@steventomlinson197 I have used some of the cheap ones successfully but was very hit and miss
excuse me do u have a link for your dashmat?
Which dashmat?
@@VideoShowMeHow you dont have a dashmat on your dmax?
@@Jbwyatt no just the factory texture 😁
@@VideoShowMeHow oh ok my 2021 has plastic there so i got an ebay dashmat . so u cant remove the dashmat in yours? i mean is it part of the dash or separeted ?
@@Jbwyatt nope there's isn't a dash mat in the XT, that's just how it looks from factory/is part of the duco. Assume yours may not be the X-Terrain maybe?
