I received mine this week. The install was smooth. I love that it has a factory feel and no drilling in my dashboard. Thank you!!

[@JPJamster]

Dude that is so neatly done!!! No drilling or putting screws into the dash to attach a mount. Thank you for making such a great product and video!

[@Kaizen2013v]

Ordered this and just waiting for shipping up here in Canada. Cant wait to install this.

[@michaeldbhawker3556]

I like my clock. I use it all the time

[@bravovictor1922]

Yeah, but you gain the ability to not age.

[@599Honda]

I’m really impressed with this set up. I just pre-ordered the clock compatible version. Just a suggestion, maybe develop a wiring harness piggyback so you don’t have to use the posi-taps. I know it’s more work and you’d charge more but it’s worth it.

[@KendrasEdge757]

I didn’t see a clock compatible version. That’s the first thing I wondered if it would work with the clock as my 21 TRD ORP has the clock behind where the phone would be mounted. How has yours worked out for ya?

[@599Honda]

@@KendrasEdge757 so far it’s worked great. I’ve mounted a gps and a radio head unit to the mounting bracket. No issues so far. I use the outer two ram mounts for the accessories and I can still see the clock. Honestly if it breaks I’ll likely go to the rago mount but this fits the bill and looks stock.

[@FRMN8R_T4R]

Excellent piece of gear. The clock is redundant in the 2020 and up anyway! I'd rather have the much-needed mount and charge options up on top!

[@alexa1653]

What a genius idea. You look like a pro taking this dash apart. Thanks for the video. I will let you know how my install goes -when I get to it.

[@blackackcl]

This is an awesome no drill option, if you can make one that doesn't require the clock being removed and you will have a winner! Can't wait to see the next design. I'm very interested in this

[@labops1665]

Stay tuned. New version in the works that keeps the clock!

Where was this when I made mine? Couple questions. You covered the clock up. Why do you have to remove it? The clock cover is still there hidden. AND.. Can the wiring for the clock be used for the power?

[@implectic]

Lol. This may be because we are watching Jack Ryan on Amazon currently but you definitely sound like John krasinski giving a tech review.

[@davej7426]

I like this product with no drill but hate to give up my clock. Others out there you keep the clock but have to drill. Any thoughts or possibilities of doing what you have done here but instead of flush with the top of the head unit to have it raised up so the clock would still be visible? I know it could compromise strength, but maybe something could be designed to make it stronger.

[@labops1665]

Thanks for the interest! I actually do have a new version that is still in the design stage that may be more of what you're looking for! stay tuned!

Can you use the clock power source? Be nice if it plugged in directly to the clock!!!

[@stevenm6301]

Wait, you mean I can have a no drill install AND get rid of the ugly extra clock? Might have to get one.

[@mushroomlw1717]

you should add a mic plug in port with like you have the usb port, if possible. also the power could have used the clock power plug in

[@KrzyAZ]

This is brilliant. Can it support the weight of a tablet while off road?

[@labops1665]

The mount base itself is very strong, you’re not going to rip out the inserts or break it, I would be more concerned about the dash itself. It would probably be fine using an iPad mini or smaller tablet but the physics of something large moving around may put too much stress on the plastic it’s mounted to. I do have something in the works that should be able to support a lot more mass. 😁

[@electricstartclint]

Is this made without the USB charger?

[@Retired_MZ]

Appears this item has been in Pre-order mode for quite a while. I'd like to order one but have no idea when it will be available. Can you provide an estimate here and on your web site?

I ended up buying the ICS Fab mount. Works great.

[@jubeikubegami]

@@robbyfergusontv how's the ICS treating you? I'm considering this as well.

[@robbyfergusontv]

@@jubeikubegami It's actually really good. Install was straight forward...they have a good video. It has held up great...still looks new. No rattling or other undesirable quirks. I got their dual USB charging port and it puts out enough power to keep two Pixel 6 Pros charged while in use...I mounted two Ram Mounts wireless chargers on it. I'm happy and I definitely recommend it.

[@brandonanderson9851]

I have a 2021 4runner that has apple car play. Can I still tap into that connection? It's different from the regular USB.

[@labops1665]

The usb is for power only, but yes you tap into the 12v from the lighter. Colors are different (red should be power)

[@DTilton1971]

@@labops1665 Any chance you will add a tap to allow access to the USB that does support CarPlay? Maybe we can reroute the existing port up to the top and put a blank in the spot down below where that jack currently resides?

[@thomasedwards6779]

Really interested in your product, do you know if I would be able to swap the Blue Sea System 2.1 amp to their 4.8 amp USB socket?

[@labops1665]

The hole is definitely able to work, its the standard 1 1/8th inch. As long as the wiring harness you tap into can handle the 4.8 amp draw the rest of the wire harness will handle it no problem.

[@thomasedwards6779]

@@labops1665 Thank you I really appreciate it! Just placed an order.

This is such a cool solution. I’ve been waiting for a no-drill version of the Rago dash mount type of product, and this looks like an even cleaner design. I’ll 100% be ordering one of these! What sort of power can I expect to get from the USB ports?

We appreciate your interest! We are hoping the back order of our materials is not more than two to three weeks! Stay tuned on Instagram for updates!

[@ariethe1manparty834]

Do you still have a version 1? I have a 2010 and your version 2 says it’s not compatible with my year. Unless it is?

[@jobrogie]

We dont have any more V1s but watch the site, there will be a 2010-2014 version of the kit releasing soon!

[@The_Riggs_Rage]

Is there a particular reason you unplugged the clock and just tucked it in?

[@labops1665]

The clock needs to be removed to remove the clock buttons which will interfere with the mount. Moreover it isn’t visible with the mount installed.

[@KrzyAZ]

I got mine installed this afternoon (talk about fast shipping!). Rather than remove the clock completely, i removed the really long buttons and securely taped them into a slot on the rear of the clock face plate. Plugging the clock back in, you can see the top of it glowing in the narrow slot. I'll drive for a couple days and see if it annoys me. I have a feeling I'll be going back in and unplugging it.

[@MarkMollat]

@@labops1665 ah…

[@Kaizen2013v]

@@KrzyAZ So did u eventually unplug it lol?

[@tdub912]

The product is great, and I would argue that since it has been a success overall, you should move from 3D Printing these to full production. I'd be willing to spend $200 for something like this in full molded ABS and not FDM. Are you open to that?

[@labops1665]

Thanks for the kind words! In fact molds for the upgraded version are being manufactured now! The goal is to have production up and running by the end of spring! The new version will work with all years of 5th gen 4Runners and allow the clock / display to remain in place. Stay tuned!

[@pun1shment]

do you even need to remove the clock to install this?

[@labops1665]

For this version you at least need to remove the buttons or the mount won’t fit. The new injection molded unit is compatible with the cock or older display!

[@junlorenzana4493]

On the new version, can it be USB C instead of the USB A?

[@labops1665]

the hole in the mount will work for any 1 1/8th inch marine style socket. The ones the come with the kit are only USB A but the wiring and mount would work with any other socket you wish to add.

[@Robert-Sacamano]

You sold me

[@godlike0630]

if this was aluminum, id buy it in an instant

[@CanesFan65]

Using the Posi-taps is a HORRIBLE way to install this. I have commented on this several times in Multiple Videos but my comments keep getting deleted. There is a better option so you do NOT have to compromise your FACTORY Wiring. I just received my wiring harness and it is PERFECT and cost is almost nothing. PLUS it is FUSED (which can be good or bad depending on how you view it).
