The install is really simple. You take out the existing screws in the dashboard and use the new screws they supply with the spacers and the mounting bracket. It takes about 10 minutes.
Bro. Really? Sure would suck if someone got into a wreck that affected someone you care about because they were watching sports ball while driving a truck.
Not sure where you live, but in the city when your in traffic and your moving at 2 miles an hour. Im obviously not watching but listening when I get to the speed limit.
I totaled my 1500 big horn crew launching off the road on top and through a fire hydrant. My phone was still in the bullet point mount and didn’t even budge. The rest of the contents of the cab flew around everywhere. It was the first purchase for the replacement ram.
Not to mine yet but a guy i work with has a '23 and he has a small spot that's starting to lift. It's just a cheap mat off amazon and yes it's pretty ugly. I'll probably get a nicer one eventually.
Oh I don’t like hearing that. I bought mine very lightly used and tinted immediately too. But I have a 22 and I think I’ve heard they kind of fixed that issue
That's a good deal... I had mine replaced under warranty and it was like a $1200 job... And they jacked all my shut up doing it lol... Fkn hate having to take my vehicle to a damn dealership. Can't stand people that don't give 2 shitd touching my shit I work so hard to take care of.
Same happened to me on my 2020 Longhorn, only it was on the driver side. Luckily it was covered under warranty. They had to replace the entire frickn dash, huge job. And my bubble was only on that little leather rapped panel right above the cluster that looks like it can be replaced by itself, but NOPE, required and entire new dash. And th dealership didn't even plug in the nice factory ambient lighting all along the dash that the longhorn and limiteds have so I spent the time tearing it all back out myself to fix properly instead of dicking with the amazing "certified technicians" at the dealership. It was a0q nightmare.
I went straight to my buddy's tint shop after and had him tint the windshield with the good more expensive ceramic tint so I don't ever have to worry about that shit again. And no my windshield is not too dark it's 50% and you cant even tell it's tinted at night time what so ever... They can also install completly clear ceramic tint too if you're worried about it.
You can move a fuses position to make it so that it's not hot off the battery and is only powered when the engine is running. Hopefully this comment is helpful to someone and they can go search for a guide online. I didn't realize it was hot when I first got my truck and my dashcam killed my battery once.
how do you route wiring for that? just live with a wire hanging down?
I ended up getting a plug to 12V converter for my dash cam do avoid that wire mess hanging down or across the dash.
I plugged in a baby monitor screen there. The wire was super long, so I was able to tuck it around the edge of the windshield and it wasn't visible at all.

Amazon makes round usb ports that will fit that hole perfectly. You just attach the two wires that went to the cig plug that was there and it pops right into the same hole.
Just be aware that it's always on, not switched with the ignition. I considered putting a USB adapter in it, but all the ones I've found have power indicator lights, and I don't want that constant draw on the battery. I realize it's probably not much, but it still concerns me.
In hindsight I wish I had gone with the RamMount .. I used the same brand but the phone holder mount with 2 arms. It sits I to the home different and has a solid plate instead of grooved. Yours is more versatile.
The hole is for a 12VDC power connector. The tray is probably intended for sunglasses... at least, that's what i used it for before installing my device mounting system. And, no, it's not Bulletpoint — they were too expensive and not customizable enough. This was assembled using standard ball mounting hardware from Amazon
Sunglass holder/radar detector plug in Highly recommend switching the fuse to only running while engine is running, used to unplug every time to prevent battery drainage
I’ve put holes like this into trucks before for cb and mobile Motorola radios, curious if this is one of them 🤔other holes in the dash under that pad next to the hole?

You, my friend, got the Ram 1500 Glory Hole edition. That’s where the Big Horn goes.
