Did a search but not much came up, but curious on thoughts on the best 4G tablet or phone holder for the 2009-2012 Ram 1500.

I found this, and this seems like it may be a good option, even says RAM which is kind of neat (RAM clips), heh!

Alternatively, I also found this from proclips:

I am in Houston, so heat could be a serious issue since there's no AC-vent blowing on it and sun hits it, as ideally I'd like to use my 4G iPad Pro 4 permanently mounted, which in that location I could use it for:

1) GPS guidance
2) Media controller for music and what not through AUX
3) Dashcam with appropriate app, since the camera would be able to see over hood
4) Front camera using a license plate camera mount up front and wireless transmitter (can't see over the hood when trying to park really close)

Alternatively, if that's maybe too big and distracting, I have a Galaxy S9 but could be annoying slapping it on there every time I drive.

I don't think I can use a mount that covers up my uConnect 6"ish screen, since it would cover my backup camera which I know of no way to make it output to a tablet. Thoughts?

I use a Bayou Goat mount. Made specifically for our Rams.

Ah, so not so much a mount, but a mounting spot so you can use a traditional suction or adhesive mount of your liking, thanks! I like that!

I also just purchased, just for now as it happened to pop up as Amazon's lightning deal and I can use it in other vehicles the "Cell Phone Holder for Car, Car Phone Mounts for iPhone 7 Plus, Dashboard GPS Holder Mounting in Vehicle for Samsung Galaxy S8, and Other 3-6.8 Inch Universal Smartphones and GPS - Black" if you search that on http://www.amazon.com for $8.50

I have the proclip mount in my 2016. It works pretty good buy I will say if you put something heavy like a tablet on there you may get a little vibration in it depending on the roads and how smooth your truck rides. The mount is pretty rigid but the dash itself has a little flex in it.

Another vote for the Bayou Goat Mount. I got the triple goat mount and use my Maxx Mount (used to have it on the windshield). The maxx mount holds my phone out over the dash so that I can move the louvers for the center air vent up and it keeps my phone cool. It's perfectly positioned for viewing maps.
