V76: The best Cell Phone Mount for my BMW!

[@danb6768]

Really appreciate you going thru the different mounts and why you chose not to use It. You touched on many of my concerns.

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks!

[@demoskunk]

I like the vent-mounted Techmatte better than the lower mount you have off to the side. It's better not to look so far away from the road.

[@TommyLGarage]

demoskunk true. But it blocks the vent. But of course different strikes for different folks! :)

I would love to drive a Bmw m3 f80,You make the right decision with this car.Anyway,This is my favorite channel,just keep going 😍

[@TommyLGarage]

Bmw Lover too kind. Thanks!!!

[@edi2083]

I love the way you care about your fans,the way you reply to them in what they are interested.Just keep going man you are the best ;-)

[@b58_productions]

Very informative video as usual! Thanks bro

[@TommyLGarage]

Chowdhury Productions you got it!!

[@tonykaufman6802]

Kuda, out of Texas, console mounts are the best. Look totally OEM. I am on my 3rd unit for my third car. Great product, terrible website. They didn’t have mocha leather match for my bmw model. Called and they built it for me. I think it took 7-8 days. They have many phone specific mounts although I have always used the multi-mount holder since I may upgrade my phone. Also makes it useable for anyone else that drives the car with a different phone.

[@TommyLGarage]

Interesting indeed

[@The_bitter_1]

Beside they only support old ass phones haha

[@katanajokatanajo9619]

What about a between seat organizer for 2021 bmw x3? I ordered the mounts from your links. TY!

[@TommyLGarage]

I don’t like the in between organizers. Too non-oem looking

[@deetgo]

Rennline ExactFit Magnetic Phone Mount BMW F30 3-Series. I've had all the ones that you have and I absolutely love this one. I even went and bought a wireless fast charge mount and switched out the mounting surface with it for wireless charging

[@TommyLGarage]

Duane L agreed!

[@deetgo]

@Justin Lipson kzbin.info/www/bejne/moipnqSGiq2ApJo here is an install video

[@TommyLGarage]

Duane L wow that’s really cool!!!!!

[@georgeboydratcliff1036]

Rennline’s website is dreadful! But LOVE the product! Wish they did right hand drive (we mount everything on the left side of the console) and M2 fittings!!

[@mojo6980]

I was hoping it was a video of a wireless charger mount. My car has the wireless charger option but my iPhone 8 is too big to fit on the charger.

[@TommyLGarage]

Mo Jo that’s coming soon

[@pjagger69]

Same problem here. 8plus is too big, and I need the big screen as I wear glasses.

[@TommyLGarage]

pjagger69 I’ve got a great solution.

[@kmanz60]

Is that pillar textured in your car? I found the round mount (vest vertical one) would not stick.

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes it is. Be sure to apply some blow-dryer heat to it before applying

[@lindseypearson8139]

Yo Tommy check out the mag back case; it’s mount point is like 3/4” wide and you can barely see it.

[@TommyLGarage]

Lindsey Pearson thanks but it’s $$$$

[@azamjunejo]

Tom how much of a gap does this leave? That’s my only hesitation versus going with 3M or vent installed mount on left side of the steering wheel.

[@TommyLGarage]

Not noticeable in my opinion. But some people are more particular than others

[@rid3withme343]

great review man, just bought the stick-on dash one.

[@TommyLGarage]

Rid3WithMe nice! I enjoy mine

[@enochxander7392]

A trick : watch series at flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@lorenzoanthony6807]

@Enoch Xander yup, been using flixzone for since november myself :D

[@tristennasir5954]

@Enoch Xander definitely, have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D

[@anx1300c]

ProClip makes the best mounts.

[@TommyLGarage]

I have to look into them

[@Recover47]

I'm using Proclip for the past 2 years on my F30 and really happy about it. It's easier to install and as sturdy as this one.

[@SGM805]

I like the idea of putting the metal plate on the inside of the case , as then I can still wirelessly charge my iPhone (I will still need to take the case off tho because of the metal plate) also is there any chance of scratching the back of the iPhone using this method? Thank you

[@TommyLGarage]

SG M Not really. The case is not moving so it’s been good so far

[@blackmamba5818]

For the vertical mount that you use, would the adhesive leave any marks when you remove it?

[@TommyLGarage]

Chan Baek if it did it’d easy to remove with some alcohol

[@James-fy2sq]

Does the circular mount you use near the glovebox area work with the extended leather option? Or will it not really stick to leather? Thanks!

[@TommyLGarage]

I doubt it will stick well. I would go with Renline Mount

[@FOURfabrication]

Does it come with the magnetic plate in the phone case?

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes it does.

[@HexapodMaster]

Thanks for all your fun videos! Question: I got the vertical one but the 3M adhesive does not stick to the same spot you are using (I’ve got the same car as you 👍). It’s sticks fine to the carbon fiber portion but not the leather. Have you attached the 3M to leather? Any tips or tricks? Thanks again

[@TommyLGarage]

Payam M I don’t have leather there. My pillar is plastic. But to attach it to leather simply use a blow dryer to heat up the glue and that should do the trick

[@HexapodMaster]

Tommy L Garage oh I see!! Makes sense. I’ll try it. Thanks again and looking forward to your new videos.

[@Wtfizdat]

@@TommyLGarage I tried heating the 3M pad, and it refuses to stick to the leather. Maybe because my garage is -20 degrees right now :-)

[@TommyLGarage]

Scott Meridew haha that will give you some issues ;)

[@HexapodMaster]

Tommy L Garage I gave up! Refused to stick. Ended up using my left driver side vent and bought a magnetic mount with wireless charging. Routed the cable from lighter around my steering wheel and it’s invisible. My center is all open now and my phone is on my left side. I’m happy :)

[@lallen968]

Is your 2 phone mount can also glue on leather ? My m3 has leather interior, can I use them on the same spot ? Thanks

[@TommyLGarage]

Liu Allen yes! A friend of mine has that mount and it holds up fine

[@lallen968]

@@TommyLGarage alright. Just bought it. Thanks

[@lmSteveo]

You have to glue these mounts on your dash?! What happens when you try and take the mount off? I would have guessed it's 3m double sided tape. Given the angle it would be mounted plus the weight of the phone...on a hot summer day would it fall off?

[@lmSteveo]

Just clicked the Amazon link. So it is 3m adhesive. Have you had it long enough on a hot summer day? Does the adhesive hold up to the dash?

[@TommyLGarage]

Stephen Lee yes 3M. I’ve had it on for a year and a half with no issues

[@cen121]

do you have a solution for the cupholder to put in little bottles?

[@TommyLGarage]

Cen cen is they even an issue ?

[@cen121]

Tommy L Garage we in europe (switzerland) have small 250ml red bull or coke cans, and it didnt fit well in the big cupholder. i think, you know what i mean if i accelerate or brake the car and the can tip... (sorry for my english 😅)

[@TommyLGarage]

Cen cen interesting. Have you tried putting it in a sleeve? They sell these rubberized bottle sleeves

[@cen121]

Tommy L Garage no i didnt try... i sometimes put a pack of tissue between the cupholder and the can. do you have a tip for a good rubberized bottle sleeve?

[@thelederelo]

what phone case do you have on your xs max? can you link it

[@TommyLGarage]

I just linked it in the description. I REALLY like this case - it's the perfect one for this phone. Get the ring too - it's a good combo kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZPXZnlphc2srqM

[@thelederelo]

@@TommyLGarage wait Tommy, are you sure this is the one? It looks like the one you have in the video has a covered back, while the TOZO one you linked has a clear back. Are you using the TORRAS one in this video? just ordered the ring, thanks for the quick response btw!

[@TommyLGarage]

nyu98 you don’t want the one in the video. Trust me. It wasn’t fully protecting the screen. Try the one I posted - it’s perfect

[@thelederelo]

Tommy L Garage 😂 alright I trust you, thank you sir!

[@thisiskyachan]

I think you video changed my life in a bimmer. THANKS!

[@TommyLGarage]

Nice! I’m glad

[@dougcampos5518]

Awesome review! I bought 2 but it’s perfect for M4. Felt good to throw cd crap mount into the garbage!

[@TommyLGarage]

Doug Campos nice!! I’m glad it was helpful

[@dariecristianalex]

How did you manage to put waze on the main screen?

[@TommyLGarage]

Cristian Darie here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqvYdH-lpMSqf9U

[@josesierra6019]

Not much information in the video to make any one of those the best. Thanks anyway...
