Best phone mount for Jeep Cherokee dashboard?

I totally get that frustration! For your situation, I've had the best luck avoiding suction cups entirely. Warning: stay away from cheap universal clips—they usually rattle and can actually scratch your dash trim over time.

From my experience, here's the breakdown:
- **Option A:** ProClip Center Mount 855054 with a custom holder. It's rock solid and won't budge on bumps.
- **Option B:** Course Motorsports Direct Fit Phone Mount for Jeep Cherokee. This one bolts in behind the trim.

Honestly, I'm super satisfied with the **ProClip** setup. It’s definitely worth the extra cash for the stability!

Can confirm this works

Seconding the recommendation above! Those custom-fit clips are definitely the way to go because they won't melt off your dash like those suction cups always do. I learned that the hard way when my phone took a dive right into the gear shifter during a heatwave... honestly, it was pretty scary.

That said, I'm always a bit cautious about overspending on those high-end brands if you're on a budget. I've been really happy with the Lamicall Car Phone Holder Mount for Horizontal Air Vents as a temporary fix, but if you're dead set on avoiding vents (which I totally get), check out the iOttie Easy One Touch 5 Dashboard & Windshield Mount.

It comes with a special sticky gel pad that actually grips the textured Cherokee dash way better than standard suction. Just a heads up though, I'd suggest cleaning the spot with alcohol first and maybe let it sit overnight before adding the weight of a heavy phone. It’s a solid, cost-conscious alternative if you don't wanna drop $50+ on a ProClip setup right away. Hope this helps!

honestly i have spent way too much time and money trying to get a mount to stay put on that textured KL dash. unfortunately almost every adhesive or suction option i tried was just not as good as expected once the summer heat hits. i actually had one of those heavy duty mounts melt and leave a permanent ring on my plastic... super disappointing. i have had issues with basically everything that isnt a mechanical fit. if you want something that actually stays i would check out the A-Tach Mounts Jeep Cherokee Custom Dash Mount. i found it to be a bit more robust than the proclip options some people suggest. it clips into the seams of the dash trim way tighter and doesnt rattle. another one i tried was the Steelie Orbiter Dash Kit but the adhesive just couldnt handle the texture of our dash. it is a bummer we have to jump through these hoops just to hold a phone but that textured surface is a nightmare. let me know if you need help with the install tho... its a bit stiff getting it into the trim gaps at first.

> I really don't want to block the air vents or the main infotainment screen. Saw this earlier and honestly its frustrating how few options actually work for the KL. Unfortunately, that textured dash makes almost every suction mount a waste of money. I have had issues with multiple brands that claim to be heavy duty but just cant handle the heat or the vibration on backroads. Most of the plastic clip-on stuff is not as good as expected and eventually cracks under stress. If you want actual reliability, you need a metal mounting point that doesnt rely on glue or tension. I eventually went with a more permanent setup because the cheap stuff kept failing. Here are the only two I would actually trust:

• Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions Jeep Cherokee KL 2014-2022 Phone Mount
• PanaVise InDash Mount 75122-414 for Jeep Cherokee The Bulletpoint is my preference since it bolts into the dash tray area. It is rock solid and doesnt obstruct the vents or the screen. It is more expensive, but you wont have to replace it after a month. The PanaVise is a professional-grade steel bracket that hides behind the trim, which is great if you want a cleaner look without the clutter. Avoid the sticky pads, they just arent reliable long-term.
