Toyota Dash Mount Phone Holder for Rough Roads and Daily Drives
A Toyota dash mount phone holder should stay solid when the road gets rough. TEQ Offroad builds dash mounts for 4Runners, Tacomas, Tundras, and Sequoias that keep your phone locked in place, visible, and easy to reach. They can also mount Walkie Talkies/Radios, Switch Panels, Tablets, GoPros, and more.

What Makes a TEQ Offroad Dash Phone Holder Different
We design, measure, and test each dash mount phone holder on real Toyotas, not generic templates. Dmitriy, the founder of TEQ Offroad, personally designs and tests each dash mount on the same trucks you drive, starting with his own 1998 4Runner.
What You Get with Every TEQ Cell Phone Dash Mount
Each rail follows the same rules as the rest of TEQ's gear: strong materials and a fit that looks like Toyota put it there.
5052 Aluminum, Not Plastic
Every Toyota phone mount is cut from high-grade 5052 aluminum. It won't rust like steel or snap like the plastic holders you've already thrown away. Your phone stays put on pavement and trail alike.
A 5-Minute, Bolt-In Install
Each dash mount quickly bolts into the dash with basic hand tools in about 5 min.
Powder-Coated, OEM-Style Finish
Every rail is shaped for its specific Toyota interior. The powder-coated finish protects the metal and blends into the dash like a factory part.
Gear That Pairs with Your Phone Dash Mount
Round out your interior with accessories built to the same standard. A molle panel, a USB power panel, or under-hood lighting keeps the rest of your gear as organized as your dash.
Frequently Asked Questions About Toyota Dash Mount Phone Holders
What's included with the Toyota cell phone holder kit?
Each Toyota dash mount kit includes the mounting rail, all necessary hardware (bolts, washers, brackets), and detailed installation instructions. Phone holders and RAM mount balls are sold separately, so you can use what you already have or choose the exact setup you need.
Will this work with my phone case?
Yes. TEQ dash mount rails work with any standard mounting system (RAM, MagSafe, Rokform, etc.), so as long as your phone case is compatible with your chosen phone holder, you're good to go. The rail itself is just the mounting platform.
Are you allowed to have a phone holder on your dashboard?
Yes. A dashboard phone holder is legal across the US as long as it doesn't block your view of the road. Most states regulate windshield placement more strictly than the dash, which is one reason a low-profile car dash phone holder is the safer pick. Check your state's rules for the specifics.
Are you allowed to have a phone mount in the US?
Generally, yes. Phone mounts are allowed in every US state as long as the mount doesn't obstruct your view or interfere with driving. A few states limit where windshield mounts can go, so a dash-mounted setup is usually the simplest way to stay compliant. When in doubt, check your local regulations.
Is it better to put a Toyota phone mount on the dash or windshield?
The dash wins for most drivers. A dash-mounted Toyota phone holder sits at a natural eye line without blocking the windshield, and it won't drop your phone when suction cups give out in summer heat or winter cold. On rough roads, a bolted-in dash mount holds where a windshield mount shakes loose.
How long does installation take?
Installing a TEQ dash mount takes about 5 minutes. The process is straightforward and uses included hardware with no advanced tools required.
Do I need to drill into my dash?
You won't be cutting or doing big drill-bit holes, but installation does use the provided self-tapping screws to secure the rail to factory mounting points. No dash cutting. Installs in minutes with the included hardware.
Can I adjust the position after installation?
You won't need to move the rail itself—it's made to fit a specific spot on your Toyota's dash. But the rail has multiple mounting points, so you can easily adjust or swap out your gear anytime. It's a modular setup built for flexibility.
Will this interfere with my airbags or other safety features?
No. TEQ dash mounts are designed to avoid airbag deployment zones and don't interfere with any safety systems. Installation uses existing dash structure points that are separate from airbag components.
How does the magnetic phone holder work?
A magnetic holder uses a strong magnet in the cradle that grips a metal plate or MagSafe ring on the back of your phone or case. You tap the phone on and pull it off with one hand. The magnet is only half the equation, though. Pair a quality MagSafe or RAM-based magnetic holder with a bolted-in TEQ rail and the whole setup stays steady, even off-road.
Will this work with RAM mounts?
Yes. TEQ rails are compatible with all standard RAM mount ball sizes (1" and 1.5") and AMPS mounting patterns. If you already have RAM phone holders, tablets, or other accessories, they'll bolt right onto the rail.
Can I mount multiple devices on one rail?
Yes, you can. That's one of the main advantages of the Toyota accessory mount system. Depending on rail length, you can mount your phone, GPS, CB radio, action camera, or other gear on the same rail—just space them out along the mounting slots.
Does this work with MagSafe or magnetic phone mounts?
Yes. If your magnetic phone mount has a standard RAM ball or AMPS base, it'll work with TEQ rails. Many magnetic mounts use these standard mounting systems, but double-check your specific mount's compatibility.
What's the weight limit for the rail?
The rail can easily handle multiple devices totaling several pounds—phones, tablets, radios, cameras, etc. The limiting factor is usually your mounting accessories (phone holders, arms, etc.) rather than the rail itself. TEQ rails are built to handle real-world off-road loads without issue.
Let customers speak for us
Bought this for my son's 1st gen. He wanted a way to mount an external speaker for his GMRS radio. Also have the mic holder and portable radio attached also made by TEQ.
Great peace
Great product and perfect fit. The supplied screws made the fitment supper easy. Should have purchased a long time ago.
Mounted right up no problem. Exactly what I was looking for to mount my phone holder. Excellent product.
The mount fit great. Install was very easy. I’ve already recommended it to others.
1st Gen owners know how neglected out poor Tacos are in the aftermarket realm so after my find got a console molle panel bracket for his 2nd gen I've been looking for one ever since. Dmitriy nailed it with this one. It's so much stiffer than I anticipated and open up loads of possibilities for mounting and storage of all kinds of thing. I've already got things ordered to mount my pew pew and have taken everything off my crappy fabric molle panel visors and transferred to this. Great product!
Easy install and solved issues I had for mounting accessory’s. TEQoffroad always showing love for the 1st gen’s. 10/10
This panel is very easy to install, very little mechanical know-how needed. It looks great, performs great, and pairs well with the dash mount, completely solving the lack of real-estate needed to install an aftermarket communication device.

Product 10 out of 10
There isn't a lot of interior accessories for the first gen Tacoma.
When you find something like this you need to buy it.
It fits and works perfectly.
Im currently waiting for the center console molle panel to arrive
It's a solid mount and does the job effectively. For $80 its a steep price for a not so complicated design. However, it does what I need to and it's a small business so I'm happy. I use it off-road and theres minimal play, the mount you buy to go on this is more important for reducing virbation so buy a quality phone/device mount that goes on to this. Its a nice slim design. Just be aware your hvac controls and other buttons get limited visibility with this.
This fits better than good! I can't say it better than that. If your reading this and on the fence, stop reading and commit. This is a solid purchase.
Installed on 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Crewcab Shortbed
First off I want to say that I love these molle panels, the concept, and the how they come out. They are solid, sleek and look like they should have been on the 3rd gen tacomas from the factory. I believe that they can hold a considerable amount of weight (i tested a 10lbs weight hanging from the bottom and i know they could support double that). They really take a dead useless space and turn it into something functional and esthetically pleasing to look at.
The only real feedback I have for the producer and seller is with the included hardware (the screw not the spacers). The included screws have no way to anchor the molle from the opposite side of the door. Literally the instructions just say screw em in but not to tight so that the plastic wont hold. I read this and knew that wouldnt do. I first planned to rivet them seeing that it would be an easy and quick substitution, but i didnt have long enough rivets (ordering would take a long time). I had some really nice chrome hex bolts saved from a different project that looked and did the job fantastically. I drilled holes in the panel and tightened the bolts by popping only the bottom of the door out (I did not have to take the panel completely off). The job only took about 45 minutes for both panels and the screws give them a really nice accent.
Honestly I still give these panels a 5/5 and highly recommend them to all 3rd gen owners. I hope they find a better mounting option however. If you plan on getting these, my advice is take your time in the measuring and drilling, and find better mounting screws.
Very straightforward install on my 22 Taco. The challenge was getting the 40" lights on straight. I'm impressed with how bright and illuminating it is. I like it so much I have another one ordered for my wife's Lexus RX 350. Thank you for a great product.
I was having issues with cup holder phone mounts being flimsy and too low to reach and look at. I kept seeing the TEQ MAM on social media so I decided to give it a try and wish I had gone this route sooner. It was easy to install and now having my phone and my passenger's phone at a more convenient angle is so cool. I totally recommend this to anyone looking for an easier way to access their phone on road and off.
I was hesitant at purchasing at first because I didn’t want to drill into my grill. Well after taking the plunge I am so happy I did. The product is high quality, finish is clean, it’s extremely sturdy. Adding one to my other vehicle soon. Absolutely recommend.
