Below is what did on my JL. I just ordered the same set up for my Gladiator. I like it cause you can slide any where on the dash.

It’s a combination of the proclip center dash mount and the Scosche magnetic mount.

Along the magnetic vein, Pitaka makes awesome cases with a circle of metal plates embedded so wireless charging still works perfectly and you can just hold your phone up to a mount and drive away. They sell mounts with Qi coils built in so it’s a clean and complete setup. It’s not as useful to me now that I’m plugging in anyway for CarPlay but I will say the magnets are great. It never dropped my phone and I wheeled plenty with it.

I had a similar setup in my other car from XVIDA. It works great with any phone, because you can throw the plastic plate with magnets in the back of a regular phone case. I like that your Pitaka solution has a ball mount though. There are probably better ways to mount it in the Jeep.

I was thinking of getting this. I don't think there is a difference between the JL and JT dash tray. https://www.xbeek.com/exterior-acce...ount-bracket-with-dash-panel-storage-box.html

I have this one. it is ok but bounces a lot.

To add to this, i'd also like to say if using the center cubby, use a good (possibly apple branded) sync cord. With 2 non apple sync cords in the cubby I would get occasional but far too frequent CarPlay crashes. With the apple branded, not one incident. Oddly didn't experience the same issue when using the dash inputs. my .02¢

Try using an Anker cable as well. I use one and have had zero problems in my JT and had zero problems in my WK2

I’ve used the Scosche suction and magnet combo, works great! My phone sits in the perfect viewing position and doesn’t get in the way of anyone, not even the passenger.
I’ll have to take a pic with another phone to show mine in place, but here is the idea...

Here’s my comparison of 3 phone mounts in my JL, these will all work in the JT. I use a combo of the ProClip and the 67D. Both are excellent choices depending on what best suits your needs:

Hey guys what have yall found for the Gladiator as far as mobile mounting solutions? I had the JKE Dock from Vector in the JK so will probably be going with that setup but I do also like the new slimmer design. The little mounts 67 has done for inside that useless cubby on the dash are interesting as well, found here. Also noticed 67 is now doing a full bar through that cubby may go that route or a combination of sorts to get the most freedom outa the dash. Anyone offering ball replacments for the screws in the grab handle like they did on the JK? Was always a great little spot for the CB mount...

 

[BradWatson8541]

@SP25 I like your set up just ordered the same thank you for sharing.

Does any one know the size and pitch for the grab handle bolt? I already have a ram mount from my Harley and this seems to be the cheapest option....

Great video, this helped me so much as I’ve never owned a phone mount and will be using one in the Gladiator. Do you know what companies, if any, also offer mounts for iPads. This will be a work truck for me and would be a benefit if I could mount the iPad as well.

Edit: reached out to 67 Designs after posting this and received a quick email response showing all the pieces needed.

Glad I could help! I know ProClip also has a. iPad mount solution.

After some miles, I've found that since I plug the phone into the uconnect I don't look at it's screen I'm doing everything, especially the nav., and phone calls through the uconnect and find the center console the perfect place to throw it. Had the phone overheat sitting in the sun on the dash causing the phone to act up.

I just got the 67 one (posted first here) its super easy super solid and looks great. It is not in the way of the air or screen. I even got a super long USB/Apple cable and tucked it below the console so I am not always using the front one.

However...with the CarPlay...its almost not needed. AND did anyone notice the section between the two cups in the front cup holder is a slot for a phone? Perhaps that was just me LOL
