So, the lack of either of these being available to my Mojave led me to develop a plan to build a phone holder that could:
1) Hold my phone in rough terrain solidly
2) Offer the ability to hold the phone horizontally or vertically.
3) Charge my phone wirelessly.
4) Do it all with ease and look factory.
Since i was already installing my Redarc tow control, this was an easy piggy back project.
First, I installed a 67 Designs mount bracket and arm.
Second, I installed the plug in tap to the 12v outlet socket for power. Got it from Quadratec. (Word of advice, throw the sketchy white screw type wire adapter in the trash. Even if you solder the wires to.use it, it will eventually fail)
I soldered the wires together, and put an additional + and a - with sealed ends in case I decide to install another dash mount accessory in the future.
Next, i mounted the 67 ball mount to a Scanstrut wireless holder /charger.
This holder, we install in boats, and it performs well in all conditions.
Mounted it with JB Weld instant glue, it isn't going anywhere.
I notched the stereo bezel for the charger wire to have clearance and not be pinched.
All buttoned up, works great. It takes 2 hands to pull the phone out of the jaws of the holder....just like I planned!
All in, 1/2 hour. 3 weeks later, it works amazing.
