Mounting Bracket - Bury Cradle

Postby Bidgee on Wed, 22 Jun 2016 1:35 +0000

I just traded my Gen7 for a Gen8 SR Dual Cab and need to install the Bury phone cradle somewhere. I've seen the ClicOn brackets that fit into the dash in front of the air vents but are there any other options available?

Anyone fitted a phone cradle or ram mount yet?? Want some ideas and as little as possible holes in the dash

That's how I've got mine. Wrote about it here (scroll past the first two images in the linked post). Works well, but I guess it depends on your steering as well (personally don't have an issue with the proximity to the steering wheel; have about an inch and a half to my hand). It provides a little bit of a blind spot as well (there's a particular round-a-bout on my way home from work that I have to shift over to see if I can continue on without stopping).

The above comments aside, I'd rate it as an awesome spot for a phone. Very solid.

I have mounted mine in a Ram-a-Can II in the pop out cup holder. Seems very stable and can be removed if needed and no holes! I can get a photo if you'd like.
