Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the mount, select your preferred attachment method—either the windshield suction cup or the included vent clip—and press firmly to secure. For the windshield mount, ensure the surface is clean and dry to allow for maximum suction. For the vent mount, slide the clips carefully into the slats of your air vent until they lock into place. Compatibility spans a wide range of devices including older iPhone models (such as the 3G, 4S, 5s, and 6) and various MP3/MP4 players. To maintain the device, periodically wipe the cradle with a soft, dry cloth and check that the mounting suction or clips remain tight to prevent accidental shifting.
