R1S Phone Mount Recommendations?

Looking for phone holder recommendations for my R1S. I’d love something that:

• Holds securely
• Works well with MagSafe
• Is easy to remove if needed

Bonus points if you have photos of your setup. What are you all using and would you buy it again?

Thanks

Lots of existing posts such as this one: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/...side-of-the-steering-wheel.33311/#post-621658

Here's a photo of mine taken a few years ago, no drill. Comes off in a few seconds. Use it everyday for Waze:

Sorry i couldn't find a better image. So weird that with all the photos of my screens the mount is always barely out. I had to grab this from a video.

Do you need/want charging? I didn't want mine to charge so I went with this option. Had it for well over a year now and it works perfect. Sits left side of the steering wheel, no drilling or modifications needed.

I've had at least five different mounts/clips/holders, finally have a setup I like. I used various commercial options and things that I 3D printed. What I've settled on is the Twraps left side dash mount with an extension arm and a MagSafe holder with active cooling. In my environment, cooling is critical. I am finally 100% happy and would not change anything.

I ran power into the dash and down the side, where it gets USB-PD from an OBD plug. There are also fuses there, but a fuse-to-PD adapter is rare, while OBD to PD was easy. Most 12v to USB adapters are simple 5v/2.1a. The active cooling needs around 27w total to cool and charge.

Left side or right depends on what you like. I slightly prefer right, but my CarPlay screen is there.

Here’s what I cobbled together to fit my needs - mounting in-between the screens didn’t work for me, and I think mounting below works better :: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/what-sticks-to-this-dash-material.56862/post-964257

MagSafe tied to a charger fed from a fuse tap.

I have the same Everyamp setup, with OBD2 adapter and charging mount w/cooling and love it! Great company too!
