    I'm a new 2016 Renegade Trailhawk owner (7 days now.) Does anyone have a recommendation for a good dash mount brand for my iphone that does not require modification? Thanks.

    Thanks. I had considered this but was not sure if the suction cup would work well on the curved dash.

    Here's a couple shots of the iottie. I've got it extended pretty far to keep it from blocking any view, but I think it'd be pretty easy to position up a bit to toy around with using my phone as a dash cam.

    This is a Ram Mount X-mount from my previous car. It works on that side window, but it will interfere with airbags I think, so I plan to make a permanent mount from the dash placing the phone in roughly that same location. I have a Nexus 6P and my wife has an iPhone so we need a universal mount like the Ram.

    Magnets interfere with my Android phone's compass and on some Android devices the magnet makes the phone think it had a flip case on it and put the screen in a clock mode. (Samsung)

    Bryan. Totally got the iottie and loved it. Installed it exactly as you did. HOWEVER, first sunny April day over 70 degrees and the mount completely fell off, phone or no phone. Won't stay mounted on warm days at all. Did you have this issue? I am thinking of returning it and calling the company.

    No issues so far, but up in the cold wilds of Idaho, I don't think we've had temperatures over ~60 degrees since I installed it!
