Reviews for Rugged Ridge Dash Multi-Mount Charging Phone Kit for 97-23 Jeep Wrangler TJ, JK JL & Gladiator JT
Nice easy install
Fits perfectly, easy to install, iPhone XR fits and charges, only complaint is that such a large phone has to sit too low in the holder to charge properly which means that it has to sit at an angle that isn’t ideal or else it hits the dash.
The multi-mount is easy to install, and works great. It holds the phone in a place that is easy to see, and works great for navigation. Unfortunately, the quick charging accessory is too narrow to hold my phone which is encased in an Otter Box. It would be fine for a phone without a protective cover, however. Also, the quick charging feature does not work through an Otter Box. I am sure that it would be fine without the cover, but as much as I drop my phone, I am unwilling to give up my cover. If you have a naked phone, this kit is highly recommended. If you have a protective cover on it, you may need a different holder, but the base is great.
The clips at the front were too high to clip into the dash, but after I just moved them down about 1/8 of an inch they work. The only way that I can use the charger is to turn it sideways. If I leave it straight up then my phone is pointing up at the roof. It’s also difficult to put my phone into the clamps. I plan on getting a different charger that will work with the ball mount and running the wire down inside of the dash so I don’t have the wire hanging down in front of my radio.
The mount itself is great, the phone holder is less than par, changed it out with a holder from BestBuy
Holds my phone firmly but even without the case the charging is intermittent. Any bump in the road (which in a jeep is caused by just about anything) causes the charging to stop. Also, installation instructions (for the '18 JK) indicate a Dual USB Charging Port would be included but mine did not come with one.
This is an excellent phone holder for an iPhone 8. This is NOT a good charger. With or without the phone cover, the cover does not provide enough charge to maintain the charge on the phone. With that said, Qaudratic was very supportive to allow me to replace the charger with another charger, however the second charger was not any better than the original. Good phone holder, poor charger.
phone mount is not sturdy due to weak base mounting. Will not hold medium width phones
2 stars only because the phone holder is a step above the original non-charging holder. Girlfriend gifted me this, was excited as it held onto my S10e tightly. Wireless charging starts and immediately pauses with no resumption. Have tried with 2 different cases and even with no case for up to a 3 hour drive with no sucess...charging light flashes rapidly red the whole time. Holds my phone well but of I need to plug in my phone if I need a charge. Might want to check another product until RR can figure out wireless charging.
I am also having issues with the wireless charging. I have to take my protective case off for it to work the best, but even then a bump in the road will cause the charging to stop. It hold the phone nice, just poor wireless charging.
