FAQs

Will this mount damage my phone?

The magnetic hold is designed to be strong enough to secure your phone without causing damage. However, it is recommended to attach the metal plate to a case rather than directly to the phone, and to avoid placing the phone directly on the magnetic head for extended periods if you have concerns about potential long-term effects on battery or components.

Can I use this mount with my thick phone case?

The magnetic strength can be reduced by thick or multi-layered phone cases. For optimal performance, it is best to attach the metal plate directly to the inside of the case or to the back of a thinner case. You may need to experiment with placement or consider a thinner case if you experience weak magnetic hold.

What if my air vents are not compatible?

This mount is designed for standard air vent slats. If your car has unique vent shapes (e.g., circular, very large, or covered vents), the mount might not provide a secure fit. It's advisable to check the vent design of your vehicle before purchasing.

How strong is the magnet?

The mount features a reinforced magnetic head designed to produce a strong force of attraction, capable of holding most smartphones securely. The exact strength can be influenced by the weight of the phone and the thickness of any case or metal plate used.

Do I need to buy a special metal plate?

Yes, a metal plate is typically required for the magnetic connection unless your phone has a metal backing. The mount usually comes with a metal plate, which you can attach to your phone or its case.

Will this mount work with international phone models?

Yes, the universal design means it is compatible with smartphones from various international brands, provided they are standard smartphone sizes and shapes.

Troubleshooting

Phone not holding securely to the mount

Ensure a metal plate is properly attached to the center of your phone or case. Verify that the phone case is not too thick. Check that the magnetic head of the mount is clean and free of debris. Ensure the mount is securely attached to the air vent.

Mount is unstable on the air vent

Try attaching the mount to a different air vent slat, preferably a sturdier one. Ensure the rubber base is making firm contact with the vent. Avoid placing the mount on delicate or flexible vent fins.

Phone overheats when using the mount in direct sunlight

This is a general concern with phones placed in direct sunlight, not specific to the mount. Position the mount to minimize direct sun exposure if possible, or use a sunshade when the car is parked. Ensure your phone's ventilation is not blocked by the mount itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a suitable air vent on your car's dashboard.
  2. Firmly attach the rubber base of the mount to one of the air vent slats.
  3. If your phone does not have a metal backing, attach the included metal plate to the back of your smartphone or its case. Ensure it is centered for optimal magnetic grip.
  4. Place your smartphone near the magnetic head of the mount; the magnet will snap it into place.
