Quick answer
Start with one Quad Lock case or MAG case for your phone, then buy two separate 360 base mounts: one motorcycle base and one car base. The 360 system is modular, so the same phone and case lock onto either base. Buy the correct adaptor for each base, and use a travel organizer to keep the spare base and cables together so the swap takes seconds.
Why the 360 Kit Builder is the right starting point for two vehicles
The 360 Kit Builder exists because riders and drivers rarely mount a phone in only one place. Instead of buying a complete motorcycle kit and a complete car kit, you buy the shared parts once and the vehicle-specific parts twice. Your phone case stays on your phone, and each base stays installed on its vehicle.
The practical result is a dual vehicle phone mount setup that costs less than two full kits and takes less time to move. The tradeoff is that you must choose each base deliberately, because a motorcycle base and a car base solve different problems.
Motorcycle base options: bar, stem and mirror mounts
Motorcycle 360 bases attach to the handlebar, the steering stem or a mirror stalk. Bar mounts suit exposed round bars, stem mounts sit centrally and avoid crowded bars, and mirror mounts work when the bars are already full of controls.
Check your bar diameter and available clearance before ordering. A stem mount can interfere with a tank bag or a phone that is too tall, so measure the gap between the mounting point and the tank at full steering lock.
Car base options: dash, vent and windscreen mounts
Car 360 bases lean toward dash, vent and windscreen positions. Dash mounts keep the phone low and reduce glare, vent mounts avoid adhesive but can block airflow, and windscreen mounts put the phone in the driver's line of sight, which some states restrict.
Pick the car base by where you actually glance, not by where the mount looks best. If you use a wireless charging head, confirm the base can carry its weight without drooping on a hot dashboard.
Adaptors and cases: the parts that make the swap work
The 360 interface is what lets one case fit both bases, but the base-to-mount connection still needs the right adaptor for your chosen head or arm. Order the adaptor that matches the base you bought, not the one that matches the other vehicle.
Keep one case on the phone rather than swapping cases between vehicles. Case swapping is the most common reason a dual-vehicle setup feels slow, and it also wears out the case edges faster.
Six-step build order
- 1. Confirm your phone model and case: Order the Quad Lock case or MAG case for your exact device before anything else. The case is the part that stays with you, so it must be right. Checkpoint: if the case is wrong, every later purchase is wasted.
- 2. Choose the motorcycle base: Decide between bar, stem and mirror mounting based on your bike's bars and clearance. Measure the bar diameter and check steering-lock clearance before ordering. Common mistake: buying a bar mount for a bike with tapered or covered bars.
- 3. Choose the car base: Pick dash, vent or windscreen based on where you glance and what your state allows. Confirm the base can hold the weight of the head you plan to use. Common mistake: choosing a vent mount that blocks a control you use daily.
- 4. Match the adaptors to each base: Order one adaptor per base so each mount connects cleanly to its head or arm. Keep the adaptors labeled by vehicle. Checkpoint: dry-fit each adaptor before final tightening.
- 5. Install both bases and torque them down: Fit the motorcycle base first, then the car base. Tighten to the manufacturer's guidance and re-check after the first ride or drive. Common mistake: over-tightening a stem or bar clamp and cracking the mount.
- 6. Store the spare parts and test the swap: Keep the unused base, adaptor and cable in a travel organizer. Do one full swap at home before relying on it on a trip. Next step: time the swap, then trim anything that slows it down.
Products that support this build
- Carry - Travel Organizers: Carry - Travel Organizers are designed in partnership with Thule® and use elastic pockets plus an internal main compartment, mesh divider and zipped pockets. A dedicated organizer keeps the spare 360 base, adaptor and charging cable together, so switching between motorcycle and car does not turn into a search through bags.
- Tripod/Selfie Stick Kits - iPhone: Tripod/Selfie Stick Kits - iPhone use the patented dual-stage lock for portrait or landscape mounting and fold down to a compact size. If your 360 build already uses the dual-stage lock, this kit extends the same mounting logic to off-vehicle shooting without adding a second mounting standard.
- MAG Cases - Lando Norris Edition: MAG Cases - Lando Norris Edition is part of the 2026 McLaren x Quad Lock® collection and is available by device option. Choosing the case by device first ensures the 360 interface matches your phone, so the same case can serve both the motorcycle and car bases.
