RAM Mounts Pod I Vehicle Mount with 18" Aluminum Rod and Round Plate (RAM-B-316-1-202U) is a No-Drill floor mount: the Pod I base fastens to the vehicle's seat rail bolt, so nothing in the cab has to be drilled. The 18" (457 mm) rigid aluminium rod can be bent to bring the device to the ideal viewing and operating position, and a B-size socket arm holds the 63.5 mm round plate with the universal AMPS pattern. Make sure the vehicle has a suitable seat bolt; not compatible with 2014 and newer Chevrolet seats with the seat hook system.
