The OpenSourceEV Phone Ball Mount PRO is the has been called, "best phone holder mount on the market" for the Rivian R1S and R1T. It's designed to tuck in between the gauge cluster and infotainment screen. It's held in place via friction and is easily removable.

The Phone Ball Mount PRO comes in three sizes - 17MM which works with most phone mounts, 20MM which works with the co-branded Offroam x Peak Designs products (link below), and a 1" size designed for RAM branded items only.

    Please note that this mount alone will not hold a phone in your Rivian - it is designed to be an attachment for a 3rd party phone holder. Phone mounts pictured are not included. We suggest defaulting to the 17MM mount unless you know exactly what you want. We've also tested and suggest the following phone holders that are known to work well with this mount:

    Customers praised the easy installation and adhesive-free mounting system. Many said "works perfectly" with various phone holders. However, some reported durability issues: the ball warped or snapped in high heat, and wobbling occurred with heavier phone setups. Great customer service was frequently mentioned. Best paired with compatible mounts.

    Phone mount broke while trying to install

    Tried to install it but it broke !

    Hi Dave - Thanks for posting the review. Can you please reach out to us via the Contact Us form? We'd be happy to replace it under warranty if it was purchased and not individually printed.

    Good but not great

    Had to use emery paper to shape the ball as it was not round and would not allow the phone holder to engage.
    Unit does not stay in position well. Moves a little bit and the phone starts wobbling. Have to push it back into the slot. Using with an iPhone 24 pro. Not the Max.

    Did not withstand high temps

    One day of moderately high temps in socal and the mount deformed. It was good while it lasted but that was only 4 months!

    Hi Martin - I'm sorry that you're experiencing this - it's completely unacceptable.

    There were a very small number of these that were incorrectly produced by my contract manufacturer. I've posted a page with more details about it here: https://opensourceev.com/blogs/news/csc-materials. It's also listed prominently on the contact-us page too.

    Please reach out to me via the Contact Us page. I'm happy to replace any of these that exhibit the same behavior under warranty. All of those being sent as of the posting of this message are not affected.

    Ball just Snapped off!

    Good product! Ball just snapped one day after like 6 months. Tried to contact someone but kinda difficult.
    Bought a new one. Best one I have found for the R1T.

    Hi Richard - Thanks for the review. It should 100% not do that. You can contact us easily by using the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page on our website. We'll happily get it replaced by one of the ASA models which have been in production since the summer.

    NO. I cannot see my screen.

    I cannot really see my phone's screen with this mount. I am using the left side mount which I have a full visibility to the entire screen even though it is difficult to charge.

    Item warps with heat and weight of Ram Mount

    I loved the item for the first few months, my son thought the Ram Mount it was apried with looked a lot like an X wing and decided to play with it and broke our first one! Enter order #2 - at first I thought I got a defective version and reached out to the company for a replacement since it was VERY wobbly. I received AMAZING customer service and they sent a replacement. Now, a few months of using the replacement (#3) , at first it started flopping around a lot - so I put in some extra foam padding (some was sent to me when I received the replacement - and the one day the phone mount completely fell off the ball mount. I can only assume the material cannot withstand the heat paired with the weight of the Ram Mount - after the phone mount and phone fell off I was able to view the ball and it is completely warped - like the other version I received - almost like it is squished and now the shape of an oval and therefore no longer holds the phone mount and phone up.

    Great customer service - but the product is not as useful as I had hoped for.

    Hi Veronica - Thanks for the review. We've recently moved our production in house, in part, to eliminate issues like this. (you can read more about it here: https://opensourceev.com/blogs/anniversary-announcements/opensourceev-parts-one-year-anniversary-july-26-2023)

    As we're now producing items in house, we can independently validate that the ASA versions will handle heat up to 300 degrees F. If you reach out to us via the contact form, we'll happily replace your PRO mount with the ASA model at no cost.

    Too loose

    Flops around when iPhone 13 attached
    Needs to have wider base or another attachment/stabilization point to eliminate the motion

    Works perfectly!

    Super easy install, and does exactly what it says it will do. Always great and innovative products from Open Source. I paired it with the Spigen mount for a 2,000+ mile road trip so I could have easy access to Waze along the way and it was perfect! And cabin temps regularly reached 110F+ as I had to park my R1S outside for about a week and absolutely no issues :)

    Does the job perfectly!

    I purchased the 20mm PRO mount and combined it with a 67 Designs arm with the Peak Designs mag safe charger. The PRO mount was quite simply the easiest install of any phone mount I’ve ever used. Fit is very solid. Highly recommend!

    Perfect fit

    Great solution to the Rivian’s wireless charging issue, it has helped me from looking down and keeping my eyes up, ensuring my phone actually charges, and keeps me safe from fussing with phone while driving. I paired it with the Spiegen One tap pro, with the USB C DC plug.

    Excellent, holds weight, works well with RAM mounts and similar!

    Tried a different phone holder from a different supplier that was 3d-printed, wedged behind the infotainment screen but could never get it wedged tight enough. I have this attached to an extension to get the phone above the steering wheel and it holds the weight without issue! Highly recommend.

    Doesn’t work with Ainope holder

    While I like the idea and ingenuity the phone using the Ainope holder hits the shifter stock. This clip needs to be redesigned to move the ball higher or a bit tighter to the dash so the phone doesn’t hit the shifter.

    Much of the clearance issue identified in this review are due to having the steering wheel adjustment very far back. By adjusting it out further, it clears with no issue.

    Additionally, there are other accessories that can be purchased to position the ball higher, such as the following item for less than $3. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394024145564

    This is the prefect solution

    I purchased this after seeing a youtube review.

    I got the magsafe / charging pad that was recommended and I could not be happier.

    This little gem fits perfectly and keeps my phone handy sot use Waze during my drives. (come on Rivian - put this in as an app)

    Awesome product!

    Excellent mount for my iPhone 14 ProMax in combination with Spigen OneTap.

    This part works really well. Very nice tight fit and works perfectly in combination with a Spigen 17mm phone mount. Highly recommend it if you want another screen and more apps to utilize from your phone (Like Waze, Siri, etc).

    Best customer service!!

    I love the product and resolved my issue around keeping the phone charged and in front of me. I picked the wrong part ( my fault) and customer service was awesome. They sent me the right part and credited the part I ordered by accident. I will give them more than 5 stars.

    Works great

    works as expected. an install video would be helpful but was able to figure it out. the ball wasn't as smooth as i expected (probably due to post printing lack of sanding), but works effectively for phone mount.

    Perfect solution

    As soon as I got the message form my guide that my R1T was available, I came here to buy this phone mount. I had originally seen it months ago on Branden Flasch's YouTube channel and (somewhat) patiently waited. I love that it snaps into place instead of relying on air vents or adhesive to try and stay in place. I paired it with the Lisen Compatible for MagSafe Car Mount as suggested on the product page and it's perfect. My phone doesn't move, but it highly visible. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with an R1, and I suggest watching Braden's video, too.
