Dash cubby phone holder mount installed

[Deleted member 6544]

Thank you Jasper. I didn't even think to do a search. So the answer is yes, yippie. He didn't mention favorites but I saw on the touch screen 'favorites'. That's awesome and actually the subscription is less expensive than having a car radio account.
Thanks again!!

Could someone answer me a question about CarPlay, (old guy here)... I've got the SiriusXM app on my iPhone, (No Sirius with XLT trim grrrr). If I have the app open will the app screen show like the pic I've attached. If so will I be able to change channels on the trucks screen vs. having to change on the phone. Thanks.

I dig your musical taste!

I said I was old! What doesn't show is the punk channel and Lithium! But thanks was the best time for music

I totally agree, best times!

This is EXACTLY what I want to do. Ever since someone posted the actual size of the cubby and I realized an iPhone won't fit... but will sit in front of it. I think I may hardwire the lightning cable through the back of the cubby though. Anyone try that yet? Is there an opening/hole in the back from the factory?

There is not a hole in the cubby.

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.

What we really need is a 3D printed blank that mounts securely enough to allow anything to be mounted…suction, FITS magnetic etc

I used this one that is a MagSafe mount...planning on getting the wireless carplay adapter from amazon at some point too...then I'll route the wiring a bit better.

You can get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Adapters that allow you to turn the trucks radio to wireless Carplay or AA. Then you could hardwire a wireless charging mount into the cubby with a magnet mount. This would give you a Qi charging magnet mount, and wireless interface. This is what I plan on doing when I get mine.

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

Holds two packs of Pall mall 100`s , but I don't smoke in my Maverick.

Did you need to insert a metal plate in the the case or is the magnet able to utilize the MagSafe magnets in the phone/case?

Not 100 but I think he uses the adhesive or suction from the phone mount to the cubby hole.

The "magnetized" part is where you slap a thin metal disc on the back of your phone with a good adhesive and the mount face plate is magnetized so it holds your phone.

Could be wrong but that's how my current set up is and I want to replicate it when I get my Mav in 24-36 months.

This is pretty cool buuuuut what's the point if your plugged in with carplay anyways? I've never used carplay/aa but wouldn't you get notifications and such on the 8" screen?

I agree. Makes no sense to me. Plus the Maverick even has a spot to prop the phone up by the cup holders.
The days of having to stick your phone to the dash are dead now that new cars have carplay and android auto.

Ford should have just made the screen and dropped the cubby hole next to it. People are just trying to find ways to use it at this point.

I use the phone screen in conjunction with Apple CarPlay...especially for Waze, I can have the reports ahead on the phone screen while having the map and my music on the dash screen.

I maybe bad for this but I’m on my phone a lot while I drive. Things that apple play won’t let you do and probably for good reason.
