Mounting Solution for Furrion Monitor for Ram

[EyeGuy]

Purchased the 7 inch Furrion Camera system, with all the cameras (back, side and door) for the new Sandpiper. Now, where to mount the giant screen in the 2017 Ram? Perhaps this solution will work for you.

When you buy the camera they give you a suction cup window mount and a table top mount, but this monitor is too big to mount in my front window without blocking my view or becoming distractive. So, after much poking around and a little thinking, I came up with this simple solution. I noticed this truck had an upper and lower glove box. The upper box has a grove around door that was plenty deep to accept the flange of a small bracket. I simply glued the bracket to the monitor and slid it in the upper glove box groove. The unit seem to be tight enough not to slide around, so I think I'm good. I suppose I could add a lower strap if it becomes a problem.

The beauty of this solution is that the monitor is easily taken down, easily visible with a quick glance, and rides in front of my wife who advises me on lane changes! It was also essentially free, which is important because you won't have any money left if you buy all this stuff.

I strapped mine to the rear view mirror using long velcro network cable ties.. holds tight easy on and off.

Thanks man, that's really a great solution to the problem. I was just throwing mine down on the tray underneath the UConnect, not knowing where else to put it. Can't wait to go home and try it! (I even have a bracket that I think will work.)

I don't have one yet, but I'm thinking of trying to find a flip down mount that I can put on the ceiling above the center rear view. With the trailer connected, that mirror is useless anyway, so just flip the camera monitor down (or use a clip/strap on mount like REL suggested). Then you get your "rear view" back via the monitor.

That screen is huge!

I agree the rear view mirror strap-on is really the optimal user friendly location, but no matter how I seemed to arrange the screen, it always nipped off a portion of my front view. This screen is really pretty big. In any event, both solutions are inexpensive to try out.
