Pretty sure Apple doesn’t work that way, so you must be using an android? Carplay is all or nothing. Carplay also has split screen so you can have waze, music, etc up on the car’s screen at the same time, so no need to have phone in conjunction.
Running Carplay on my iPhone 12, haven't had an android since Jelly Bean. I use the splitscreen for Waze and Music but use my phonescreen to display the upcoming alerts. Do it this way in every car I've had that has Carplay.
Don't have a spare phone to take a pic of it mounted, but here is a screenshot of both screens taken at the same time to give you an idea...
Oh, I see. That works then!Don't have a spare phone to take a pic of it mounted, but here is a screenshot of both screens taken at the same time to give you an idea...

I just installed it and already regret it. It takes away from the OEM look of the truck and I think I did the mistake that I have it not far enough out and probably not in the right orientation (can only tilt down). The phone fits and points just forward. I didn't like it. Is it difficult to remove? What is the best way to remove with least amount of damage?This is how Im using my cubby hole. I use this same magnetic mount in all of vehicles including work truck and boat. For under $8 it’s hard to go wrong.
my only advice is to make sure the truck and the mount are warm before sticking on
I’m still happy with mine
Thank you! I am still undecided. The metallic part behind the phone with protective film came off so I attached the other metallic plate lower, which makes the phone fit better. I guess I will wait and see, can always remove it.
If you have a hair dryer that should make the adhesive schmooze enough to peel it off. Although some adhesives for mounts like dashcams can be extra strong and may be more physical effort. Some people use fishing wire to sort of cut those off and then scrape whatever’s left carefully and then use alcohol for the bits left.
I use a Spigen MagSafe mount. It is a magnetic charger. I’ll have to figure out how/where/what base to use to mount it in the Maverick when I pick it up tomorrow since I’m buying an XL and won’t have wireless charging without it
For that mount, I would try sticking it to the cubby that is on top of the radio, rather than to the right of it. That way the phone would sit more flush with the car screen. Use the side cubby for something else, like a garage door opener. Just my 2c.Ok this is the route I went. It’s much more expensive but I utilize this quad lock for my motorcycle so I have the case already. About $50.
Now this little rubberized tray was removed, I think the adhesive will work better directly to the hard plastic.
I ended up using a qi magnetic mount that I already had, and put the head on a different mounting platform. It seems they all often share the same standardized ball joint. Using the mount linked below still gives you the cubby to use for… trinkets…
That’s what I did with the spigen in one vehicle, I put it on an iOttie cd slot mount. I was afraid it wouldn’t fit but it did. As long as I can find a ball mount that fits the cubbie, that’s where mine will go.I ended up using a qi magnetic mount that I already had, and put the head on a different mounting platform.
