This looks fantastic! Holds the phone exactly where I want mine to be, putting in an order! Thanks for identifying and filling a pretty crazy gap in accessories for our trucks. Any idea if there are compatible products out there to swap into the holding system (i.e. the ball joint)? I'll be happy to use the magnetic on roads but I worry about the magnet's strength when off-roading for long distances over butt-numbing rocks.

 

Thanks! Did you place an order, if so what is the order number?

We are designing an "off-road" clip in style mount as well. We have seen a higher demand for something along those lines as well and it is well in the works!

 

Huh, that's pretty spiffy.

 

I recently bought one and love it. Easy install and clean fitment. Definitely recommend

Give one a try, and let us know what you think!

 

Awesome thank you, let us know what you think of it!

 

Hi!

• Obviously super-easy install. Used the left-side dash screw point to mount.
• Really like the placement of the phone in regards to within reach and usable, plus not having to look way down into the console region to see something on the screen. Keeps eyes up and screen can be operated if need be.
• Would like it a bit more if it was moved slightly to the left as the far left of the infotainment screen is blocked a bit. Not a big deal.
• As suspected, magnet is a wireless charging problem. Phone referenced in this case is a Google Pixel3 with Spigen slim armor case. Magnet used was the rectangle shaped one placed on the outside of the case (initially inside the case to play with positions):
  • Magnet placed on very bottom of phone case works fine for charging -> this however puts the phone sitting really high when mated to the dash mount, which results in annoying visual obstruction and more susceptibility to the phone moving on the mount due to road vibration and any tension from charging/Android Auto cord being attached. Moving phone to landscape mode is not ideal for use and of course biases it to hanging off to one side.
  • Magnet placed on lower 1/3rd of phone case (and also tried in middle of case) does not allow for wireless charging to work -> this position however places the phone farther down out of visual obstruction and balances the phone's weight better as attached to the dash mount.
  • Magnet placed at top of phone of course is a non-starter since that's where the camera lenses are......
  • As such, have to pull the cover off to use wireless chargers. Slight annoyance factor.
• The quick magnet attach is convenient and fast of course. Not a fan of how magnets ruin the clean look of a phone or case though.
• Like that the dash mount doesn't really block the driver vent, even with the phone centered on the mount.
• The mount is good to go thus far, just has minor attributes that different customers have different likes/dislikes. Enough good things that I haven't seen a more advantageous, easy solution out there....or created one myself.

I'll be interested to see how the off-road physical mount is implemented......pros/cons to weigh.
Thanks!

 

What’s the shipping time from placing an order? Are these mounts in stock?

 

In stock, ready to ship! I can do 10% off for forum members just let us know!

 

I’ll need CM2.90016 for a Silverado. Just wanted to make sure that there isn’t a long delay.

 

We are a little backed up but we can certainly get it out next week for you!

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Happy to help, let me know if you would like to place an order and I can provide a coupon code.

 

What type of magnet is used, and how much weight can it hold? Thinking of a different application as well as a phone holder.

 

We have two different size steel pads that come with all the mounts. We have not tested anything other than the major cell phones at this time but I am sure the mounts could hold a bit more.

 

I’ll buy when it comes with the clamp style!

I'm very pleased with the simplicity of the bracket and placement it provides.
Not a fan of magnet, so I replaced the phone holder with the holder off this previous phone mount I had on my old truck:

The holder fits right onto the ball mount of the DirectFit mount.

Hindsight is 20/20, but the option to purchase just the bracket mount with ball mount would have been awesome and saved a bit of money.

Anyone interested in the magnet mount?

 

Received this mount Tues and installed it yesterday. Quick and easy. Haven't done any driving with it yet but seems to holder the phone well (iphone 7).

 

Awesome to hear! What was your order number?

 

@CourseMotorsports When do you expect the non-magnetic phone mount to be available?

 

We have no plans on making a non-magnetic phone mount other than our wireless charger one: Course Motorsports AutoGrip Wireless Induction Charger - MagSafe Compatible

Was there something specific you were looking for?

 

A grip mount is exactly what I was looking for and the fact that it also charges is a big plus. Is this similar to the off-road physical mount I keep hearing about?

 

It could be very similar, do you have a link so we could take a look?

 

Looking for a mount for a 2016 canyon. Does this come with the magnet?

 

If you were to purchase the full kit it would come with everything you need: Direct Fit Magnetic Phone Mount - Chevrolet Colorado / GMC (Canyon 2015+)

 

So do I have the potential to access a discount by interacting with the rep within this thread?

 

Yes please send me a PM and I can give you a code!

 

Definitely need this, pm'd!

 

I posted this elsewhere and just found this thread as well so figured I would share it here. It is a solid product and easy to install. Magnet is strong enough. One of the cases I use is an otterbox defender case and I keep the metal plates on back of the belt mount on either side of the belt clip. You can see in the pictures the how the location does block some of the screen when using either the top or bottom plate on the belt mount. Blocks just too much for me so I will be using their location and mount idea and make my own or modifying the location by adding onto their mount just to move the phone away from the display.
