Dash cubby phone holder mount installed

[bwayne]

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 like your channel selection.

I agree! W

Yall stay distracted with your phones, that cubby is going to be for my main homie...

I agree! With all of these guys trying to operate their phones and Ford Entertainment System, I am putting the Patron Saint of Travel, Saint Christopher, in the cubby with me!

I added my phone mount with wireless CarPlay.

Which Carplay dongle did you go for? How is it performing?

You'll have full control over your phone's SiriusXM app through Android Auto or CarPlay. Once you establish a connection you can put your phone away. If you choose not to use one of these protocols and only connect your phone to your Maverick by Bluetooth, you will need select your phone as the source and then operate the app through your phone.

The latter method has it's advantages, but seems old school vs Android Auto/CarPlay. You need to have the phone mounted in a convenient location so you can access it and use it for SiriusXM, navigation, etc. I guess this method's biggest advantage is that a Bluetooth connection will almost always be established seamlessly without fuss. Android Auto and CarPlay can sometimes be fussy about connecting. Android Auto probably more so than CarPlay.

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

Hey why did you mount it at the top instead of the bottom and also does the hold last? Thanks!

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?

It’s useful if you’re using the phone for GPS apps like Gaia when there’s no connection for CarPlay/standard map.

I added my phone mount with wireless CarPlay.

Is this just a mount or does it charge as well? If so how did you run the wiring? Thanks!

Yes. You just have to play with it on the screen while you are not driving, to figure out how to get to a channel.

I like this. It seems to be simplest way to mount a phone in the most logical place. When my truck comes in - early May - I'll look closer at this option.

Its wireless charger with the power wire running behind the cubby.

Anyone have a favorite magnetic mount that also allows wireless charging? I think in my iPhone the coil is relatively centered, so that means either an open-ring-style metal stick-on for the inside of the phone case, or a horizontal metal bar stick-on that is either/both above and below the coil?

defeats the purpose of CarPlay if you use the wireless charging. The one above is just the magnet

this one has the option to charge. Belkin makes the best products for iPhones.

Hopefully this fits somewhere when our Maverick arrives. Loving the Fold 3/5G in full fold out mode. It's qi wireless with motorized opening / closing. Sweet
