Just test drove a 2019 Laramie and learned it has no navigation. Pretty ridiculous for a truck stickered at $54K. That said, is there anyway to connect your phone to the touch screen to use the phone's nav on the big screen? Anyone found other alternatives with the Level 1 trim?

I use Waze via Android Auto. Problem with any built in Nav system is it's going to be outdated in a few years, unless you pay the ridiculous prices for updated maps. With my phone, it always stays updated and Waze is superior anyways with all of the extra features it provides. The downside is yes, you are relying on cell service being available, but that is rarely an issue around here.

Tourruder, I also used the olive universal magnetic holder, removed the swivel and just used the magnetic base and the disk attached to the tablet. Nice flush look... url below.. worked best for my tablet but they might have a better specific application for your garmin. Please post pix of your set up when done!!!

Bill, I wanted to update you on my GPS and Radio mount. I probably should have zoomed out a tad.
It's working pretty well.
