Phone mount👍🏻

Got my Proclip and a dual USB installed today since there is nothing else to do😏. Now I just need a short cable for my phone and the wife won’t have to steal mine on trips 😄.

For clarification this is the USB I installed. Works perfectly with CarPlay.

I have the same, they make great products. I especially like how the design the vehicle mount separate from the phone mount. Makes it easy when you switch devices.

Yes the module approach is nice. I got one for my truck and liked it so much I had to get one for the car. I’m hoping with my phone in view I’ll forget it less often when I get out😄

Only problem with that setup is if you plan on using "CarPlay". I don't think it will connect through that power outlet, I think it only works when connected to one of the car's USB ports. If you don't use CarPlay, that's a perfect setup in my opinion.

I have this, which is in my daily driver (a 2006 Cadillac DTS) too -

and this works well, with the USB routed underneath from the arm-rest connection. This is quite a neat setup.

However, I'm liking the ProClip look so will investigate that - it looks good!
