Installation Tips

67 Designs TacoRail Navigation Setup

After using it for some time I have had a few improvements I have made for a better experience both on road and off-road. Some of the things I have done is use double sided tape for mounting, added RAM mounts for items, and routed cables cleanly down the dash. The details to these improvements are listed below.

Double Sided Tape

Installing is straightforward with the provided instructions. However, using industrial double sided tape you are able to provide additional strength to the hardware used to attach the TacoRail. As well as minimizes vibrations and sound while on the dash.

Placing two strips of tape along the channels of the mount and trim the excess with a razor blade. Then, thoroughly cleaning the dash with alcohol wipes before installing promotes good adhesion. Despite the tape being slightly visible underneath, I have not had any issues with peeling or moving.

Luckily RAM Mount balls are compatible with some modification. This provides the option to utilize a variety of different solutions. RAM Mounts specifically expand the options when it comes to phone and radio. The RAM Mount T-nut may need to be trimmed down to fit.

To maximize the functionality, it is discovered a step-down ball adapter can accommodates a wide range of wireless chargers. The charger cable can effortlessly tuck behind it and descend down the dashboard into the glove box for a sleek appearance.

Cable Routing

If preferred a small hole can be drilled in the dash surround to route cables in and out behind the head unit. But, you are able to run the cables cleanly behind the mount and tuck them down the side of the dash. From there they can be routed into the glove to be hidden. A power adapter can be added inside of the glove to further hide the cables and provide power.
