Best mount for OFT on small side window
 
What do you guys use to mount your oft on the driver's side. Getting ready for first track event in the FRS and I want to monitor oil and coolant temps with the oft guage mode.

I have a no-name phone holder that does work for the oft, but it's not great. A better choice is something from Ram Mount, I know people use those on track to hold stuff.

Alternative suggestion:
I put mine in front of the redundant analog speedometer using dual-lock on the dash and steering column cover. I'm sure there is a better way to mount it there but it works for me for street driving. This way you can open and close the door without worrying about the cable.

I just used Velcro to temporarily mount it over the radio. Easy to read and reach there.

I think this would do the job if you want to mount on the small side window:

I have the one that mates to a ProClip dash mount, and I've done auto-x runs in our bumpy lot with my pretty heavy phone left on it by mistake, and the phone didn't fly off. The magnets hold my OFT in place just fine when I'm data-logging on the street -- I think they'd hold up to track use too since the OFT is pretty light.

I use a mount that goes in the cd slot. Got it from target. Works great. Better then the 3 times I tried different window mounts. a cd can still be inserted with the mount in also just fyi

Thanks but I have an AA head unit without a CD slot :)

I'm curious how your cable reaches in order to mount anywhere? The one that comes with the tablet is painfully short...

You can order extension cables on amazon. I got one that has a toggle switch to kill the power to the OFT. I read of some people leaving their OFT plugged in and draining the battery.
