Overview
This is the exact setup shown on TikTok.
No configuration maze.
No extra parts needed.
Just select your side and radio bezel style — everything else is included.
Clean. Low profile. OEM-friendly.
What’s Included
• 3D-printed Side Kick mounting base
• Pre-applied automotive-grade 3M VHB tape
• 17mm Direct Mount ball
• Magnetic phone holder (17mm compatible)
Everything needed to recreate the setup shown in the video.
Choose Your Fit
Side Kick mounts are side-specific and bezel-specific.
Step 1 — Choose your side
• Driver side
• Passenger side
Step 2 — Select your radio bezel style
• Smooth (flat) bezel
• Bumped bezel
FYI: Most Honda Elements use the smooth/flat bezel.
Left and right orientation is referenced from the driver’s seat.
Why This Setup Works
• Clean OEM look
• No windshield suction cups
• No vent clips
• No sticky dash glue
• Fast on/off magnetic mounting
• Installs in about 10 minutes using factory radio bezel bolts
Secure. Minimal. Done.
Aftermarket Head Unit Compatibility
Yes — this setup works with aftermarket head units as long as the radio bezel is OEM or securely fastened to the vehicle.
The Side Kick mounts to the bezel itself, not directly to the dash structure. If your bezel is solid and doesn’t flex when pressed, you’re good.
Some aftermarket bezel kits use lighter plastic or weaker mounting points. If the bezel isn’t firmly attached, the mount may feel unstable.
If your bezel feels solid, this setup will perform as intended.
Load & Use Notes
Designed for lightweight devices only (phones).
Not recommended for:
• Large tablets
