Phone rail mount on passenger side dash

[Rivers90]

With apple car play and android auto this is not as useful as it would have been a few years ago. I would have gotten this for sure for my last vehicle if it had been around.

But This rail may be a good way to mount a screen for a GMRS radio or something else.

I think it is a really cool idea and handy way to mount something. I would have guessed the screws on the dash were fake and just for looks.

And for safety I checked and the air bag comes out of the top of the dash not the front.

Great for road trip if someone wanted to watch something while using their headphones. Even better if your could mount an ipad

I would not mount anything over the airbag cover. Those things move with some force when they are set off. They are usually tethered but the tether is designed to secure the weight of the thin panel when the explosive goes off, not a freaking radio.

I guess if your passenger doesn't mind the possibility of a Baofeng keypad tattoo on their face, then go for it.

Your comment reminds me of the 4Runner/Tacoma/Jeep overloading folks who have their entire roofs covered in molle panels and half their belongings. Bet that hurts in an accident.

Still, I would never install anything in that area.
