Easy install. Haven't gotten my phone holder to attach to it yet. But the whole system is built well and made for an easy install

Damaged threads in one of the attachment points. Doesn’t work

I ordered the product and the ball was the wrong size, the tread pitch was wrong also. I couldn’t use it for a planned trip and I still had to go and order the correct part off Amazon because they couldn’t help me. I sent a follow up message to see if I can get some reimbursement and have not heard back.

Great product, I do wish there was a little recessed slot under the phone mount to be able to pull it out if needed

Super happy. Perfect mounting options for iPad. Now I basically have a new entertainment system.

Nathan's work is beautiful! I got a few different parts for my 97 4Runner, and they all fit perfectly. I couldn't ask for better quality or better service! I will definitely be ordering from him again!

The only thing that would make this better is if it could somehow lock in place.
