My Thoughts
I was looking for something where I could mount my phone for GPS or for taking video without using window suction devices and came across this kit on one the major Jeep aftermarket sites, so I decided to purchase. Once received, it was exactly what I was looking for. The kit fits perfectly in the upper dash tray and the install couldn’t be any easier. I would highly recommend this to someone that is looking for a dash piece to hold phone, GPS, or camera, but still have room to place other stuff in storage area.

not to hijack your thread but i thought id add a bit to it, i also have the same kit but i didn't like how the multi mount was secured with the extra plastic adapter, so i went to home depot bought a few 1/4x20 insert nuts
trimmed a bit of the spikes off with a sanding wheel. then i drilled the plastic multi mount hole out just a bit so i could heat up the insert nut and press it into the multi mount. once the plastic cools the nut is now part of the mount and it shakes a lot less too!
only thing to watch out for is the bolt on the mount has a small shoulder on the bottom so you have to make sure not to press the insert nut down all the way, in the pic you can see the gap made to allow the shoulder to sit in.
one last thing i did was add an nfc tag to the front of it so when i put my phone into the mount it can turn off my wifi, turn on torque pro and what ever else i may want.

Having just done this with a pioneer avh-x5700bhs radio, I cut the bottom off the stock metal bracket. This way the top piece with the bolt hole is still there and you can use the mount. Works great and doesn't impact the fit of the radio.
