I used the USB C connection in the glove box. The Belkin Pro 15W came with the “lighter” plug and a USB C that can go into it so there are two options. I would have preferred your setup with an additional cable purchased from Amazon run to the back seat. It’s definitely the best setup I’ve found so far. This plus the Magbak case works great.

Fwiw, you could get a USB extension cable, and run the cable to one of the center console USBs.

I’m not a fan of hanging wires. You may want to look at running the cable behind your dash trim under the cupholder. You can use an Amazon 12 V to 5v adapter like I did.

The only bit of cable I have exposed is shown below. I've run the cable to the front of the center console and then rearward, tucked underneath the center console. It comes up alongside the passenger seat backrest and into the center box, plugged into the USB port there. Does your way have less wire exposed? Pic?

I love it. Easy install and not in your face like other ones I have seen.

Just using the little Magbak strip stuck onto the vent trim for the cleanest look. Also have a dedicated device running JBV1 w/waze crowdsourced data and a digital key to start the car that stays permanently in the little cubby area below.

For Dragy style videos I need landscape orientation with the phone sideways and a clear front view, while also keeping the driver POV centered well. My i14+ phone uses a Speck grip case with ridges, so magnets are out. Am I doomed to a suction cup clamp-style mount? What do you all suggest? I can’t have stuff falling off the windshield into my lap or underfoot during a dragstrip run…

So wait, you keep a digital key card in the cubby all the time? Or are you talking about that phone being the digital key...
