I have been using the 67 Designs JL mount for about a month and I wanted to share my initial impressions. This was my Christmas present from my family after we ordered our Jeep, as we waited months.. and months
for it to arrive. I wasn't sure which mount I would prefer so we ordered both:
After having used both the Universal and Magnetic holders, I found that I prefer the Magnetic G3 mount for daily ease of use. The Universal G2 mount is very secure and more for trail use IMHO.
I doubled up the included steel plates on the back of my iPhone for a better magnetic lock through my Speck phone case. They also include a set of 2 curved steel plates if you want to keep the coil area clear to use MagSafe/Qi chargers.
I was originally excited about using Apple CarPlay, but unfortunately it is not integrated wireless CarPlay in the Wrangler. So I bought the OTTOCAST wireless CarPlay adapter and tried it out. CarPlay looks cool but there is one major flaw. I use Google maps and often I like to move around in the map when navigating, as well as scrolling up ahead to watch for reported speed traps and traffic. But when you use Apple CarPlay, Google maps will only show the turn by turn list, the map function is disabled. I get it, they want you to use the Jeep display but the phone map is so much faster and easier to use. So I returned the OTTOCAST and now I am using BlueTooth.... And XM radio....
damn they got me hooked.
I love when I find a company that is designing and making world class quality gear right here in the USA. The 67 designs mount is working out great and I figure this might help someone out.
