We love our extended cab truck, with all its conveniences! We installed a suction base phone mount /wireless charger unit, and that went really well. Managing the charging cable didn’t.
We tried tucking in the cable, but the routing path was funky, and the cables would come loose after a while. We looked for mini cable tie mounting bases and ties but didn’t find what we liked. There were plenty of products for larger diameter cables, but nothing we could see for the mini cables.
Add to all this that we wanted something that didn’t only function well, but was attractive in the truck cab as well.
Then, we came across the Bluelounge CableDrop®Mini product one day when strolling the aisles at Home Depot. We knew we had a winner! The small ¾” mounting disks with integrated clasp was what we were looking for. A card of 9 mounts costs between $10 and $11.
While Home Depot had only black, you can order white and other colors on the BlueLounge website. Here is a courtesy quick link: https://bit.ly/DFJCableDropMini. We don’t receive compensation or samples for your purchase. When we find a great product, we are pleased to pass it on to our viewer family. You can also visit www.bluelounge.com to view their complete product line of cable management solutions, available in various colors.
Sure, you can just live with a phone cable mess, or try to cobble something together. You can even go to a professional car stereo and phone installer to get great results. By why? With the CableDrop Mini, you can JUST DO IT YOURSELF!
Hey, Dirt Farmer Jay here from DirtFarmerJay.com. If you're like me, you kind of struggle managing
those little tiny cords in your vehicle, we came up with a great solution. Stay tuned,
and I'll tell you what it is. Hey, Dirt Farmer Jay here from DirtFarmerJay.com. We love having
a nice truck to ride around in, but one of the things that you do is you add electronics as you
go, and with those electronics come cables and dreaded cable management. We really struggled
with that for a long time, and suspect that you may have as well. We found a great little solution
that's really solved it for us. It's called the CableDrop product line. The CableDrop Mini,
in this case, is a set of these dots that have slots cut in them that squeeze the cable,
and when you take them off the card, here you can see the scale of them right there,
they have an adhesive backer in which you just simply peel off the back and affix that to an
area and route the cable through them. And the cable backs, or these CableDrop Minis,
are set up in such a way you can just simply press the cable through them and it'll hold it. Now,
this is the mini because there's a bigger one also that works really well with USB cables and
that sort of thing. But we've installed it in our truck here, and if you take a look at the way
that this is laid out, our charger's on the right side of the display screen and everything here,
but the charging cable that goes around to our phone base for wireless charging,
and also just to hold the phone, used to kind of drape across here. We try to wedge it up in here.
Well, you can see in this case, with the addition of four of these CableDrops right here,
we were able to route the cable around in a nice orderly fashion back up into the base right here.
And of course, the phone now just works out beautifully as far as just being able to set it
in place. So you just set that in there and it grasps your phone and we're off to the races.
So this is a great little set of products, and like I said, larger and smaller. Now,
what do you expect to pay for this? This is about $10 or $11 for this card, and you can get these
online. I happened to get these at our Home Improvement Center, you know, the orange one,
and they had both of them, again, a set of large or small, about $2 or $3 difference in price,
and they work really, really well. If you found this video to be helpful, won't you like it? And
