I used to use a magnet mount that used the CD player. Found it blocked the hvac controls though. Switched to a pop socket vent mount. Its ok. Jiggles more than I like.

*EDIT* Looks like there's a newer model getting good reviews for durability over the old one:

Nice mount but the bouncing of the truck eventually wore the joints out and the suction cup has a gooey material on it to make it stick better.  When you remove it, it leaves some of that gooey stuff behind and it's a real pain to get it off of the windshield.  If you go the route of something like this, DO NOT put it on your dash, it discolors it permanently.

I’ve got a very similar one but mine charges wirelessly. I have it hard wired to the truck so I just place my phone in and it charges. I’ll work on getting pics later.

The one I posted above I had mounted at the top of the windshield so my phone was in landscape right next to the rear view mirror.  It was actually a very nice mount but the roads around her wore it out over the year and a half I had it.

Strong magnet and extremely low profile. The radio bezel is tilted slightly towards the driver which is a perfect viewing angle for the phone.

And yes, thats a blackberry!! (Don't be jealous)

I have Pro-Clip's in both my car and truck.  On the truck it's slightly over the passenger vent but it doesn't block much air or anything.

I like the magnet mounts in most of my cars, but every place in this truck that can work seems to block a vent...not an option in Texas heat.

Is have the floor console that has built in cell phone holder up by the power ports. Then I run a charge cable from inside the console to phone. That way I don't have to much excess cable laying down in tray and keeps all the ports up front open and clean. The if I need to see the phones screen out maps I use andriod auto and project to the radio screen.

Does anyone have a picture of the Proclip prior to installation?  I have no problem paying for a good mount, I just want to see what it is.

You can see some pics on their website.    You have a choice of mounts which you slip into the gaps in the trim and then depending on your phone size you choose a device holder.   In my case I have the Angled Dash Mount (for the right side).    It comes with 3m double sided tape, but it holds fine without it and  I've never felt the need to actually use it in any of my cars going 10+ years back.

My last truck had a phone holder that slipped into the CD slot. A year later and it’s still sitting in the glove compartment of the new truck.
With CarPlay in the new truck, I rarely look at the phone anymore. I plug it in and usually just throw it in the storage compartment.

      2026/2027 Suburban — confirming AS3 bench delete with standard MagRide/Adaptive

      By newdude · Posted

      Here's the 2026 order guide - Vehicle Order Guide   RPO code "AS3"?  Not seeing it.  What is it supposed to be?  I see AS3 used a long time ago as some sort of seat option, but its not applicable to the current Suburban.    I see RPO code "AZ3" which is 1st row 40/20/40 split bench.  That is only on LS trim, which LS can't option any of the trick suspension.     2nd row bench power fold RPO code is "ATT".  So your dealer should be able to sort their locator to find matching builds by searching the combo of ATT and Z95 combined to find a 2nd row power fold with MagRide.     You can do the 2nd row power bench AND have MagRide, or Mag with Air on Z71, RST and High Country.     Here's a Z71 with 2nd row power bench and the Z71 Off Road Package which adds the Adaptive Air and MagRide - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   Here's an RST with 2nd row power bench and the RST Capability Package, and RST Capability adds the Adaptive Air with Magride - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   I can't find a High Country, but you can do it on there.  Requires the 6.2, and the Sun and Tow pack which allows you to then option the 2nd row power fold.  Black interior only.  High Country comes standard with MagRide and you can order the air if you get the High Country Deluxe, but Deluxe will take you to captain 2nd row.       You can do it at GMC on the AT4 and the regular Denali (not Ultimate) as well.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By newdude · Posted

      So.  Get this.  On the Chevy regular cab, you can get the factory remote start at the dealer from the accessories catalog.  BUT.  GMC, you can't.   Now...get this...GMC 2 door, you CAN get the power seat.     Go.  Figure.   Anywho.  are you trying to order?  Or locate?  Ordering for 2 door 1/2 tons has been stopped as of April or May?  So you won't be able to order.  You'll have to shop on the ground units or in transit units.     Ordering was stopped because the new trucks are coming.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.
