Hello, I want to be able to hang / drape my Nexus 9 from top of the console. I'm trying to figure out how to do this so that it's easy to attach / detach. there are two star screws that are easy to access so i'm sure there's a slick solution out there. Any mount suggestions or ideas?

Also, wondering if there is a way to sync the volume timing with the video. bluetooth seems to have this delay, i didn't see any options on the ram, but maybe there is something on my tablet.

here is a quick sketch to give an idea of placement

this is from someone from a different website....

I used some 16 or 18 gauge steel plate from Tractor Supply. A 12"X12" piece was plenty, and I made a template out of thin cardboard. I removed the little rubber piece from the small change tray on top of the dash and replaced the 2 screws below the rubber with longer screws. The bracket is shaped like a triangle with the base of the triangle bent back 90* from vertical. the longer screws go through the base and back into the original holes in the dash. After a little "fine tuning" to get the fit and the angle right, I just painted it black.

@davidram see post here. i saw it after searching "ram 1500 tablet mount" on google then selected images

To navigate, or not to navigate that is the question... - Page 2

@iceyivy were starting to develop some history hahahaha. thx for response, although i don't want anything that sticks to the window. sounds like a good solution but my OCD says no. i think a modification / variation of what the diesel dude said sounds good. i also found this.

We really are on a lot of the same threads, seems we have the same thoughts. Well minus the couch on my roof... :roflsquared:

I was going to post the link to that mount, don't know why I didn't. I actually got one last week, if you're going to mount something as big as a tablet you might want to get their adjustable version so you'll have the extra space

I sent in a question, he called me personally! great guy, sounds completely trustworthy and hysterical. he also applied for and received a patent for this which is awesome. I will post pics once install but have to say, 5 stars across the board for Duane.

LONG LIVE BAYOU GOATS!!!!
