FAQs

Is the Scosche magicMOUNT compatible with MagSafe?

No, the Scosche magicMOUNT is not MagSafe compatible. It uses its own proprietary magnetic system with the included MagicPlate for secure attachment.

What types of devices can I mount with this?

This mount works with most smartphones, GPS devices, and tablets. However, it is not suitable for devices with traditional hard drives, such as the iPod Classic, due to the strong magnetic fields.

How do I attach the MagicPlate to my phone?

You can attach the MagicPlate directly to the back of your phone, behind your phone case, or even directly to a rugged case. Ensure it is centered for the strongest magnetic hold.

Will the magnets damage my phone?

The magnets are designed to be safe for modern smartphones and tablets. They do not contain components that would be harmed by the magnetic field. However, as noted, traditional hard drive devices should be kept away from the magnet.

Can I use this mount for wireless charging?

Yes, the mount is compatible with wireless charging setups, provided the MagicPlate is placed correctly on your device or case and does not interfere with the charging coil.

How do I clean the mount?

You can clean the mount with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.

What if the adhesive stops sticking?

The automotive-grade adhesive is designed for a strong, long-lasting bond. If it loses adhesion, the surface may need to be re-cleaned, or a different mounting location may be required. Repositioning the mount multiple times can weaken the adhesive.

Troubleshooting

Device not holding securely to the mount

Ensure the MagicPlate is properly attached to the device or case and is centered. Check that the mount is securely adhered to the dashboard. Verify that the device is not too heavy for the magnets.

Mount is unstable on the dashboard

Ensure the dashboard surface is clean, dry, and smooth before applying the 3M adhesive. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds. If the surface is textured, consider using a plastic surface adapter (sold separately) or a different mounting location.

Device interferes with wireless charging

Reposition the MagicPlate on the back of your device. Ensure the plate is not obstructing the wireless charging coil. For optimal results, try placing the MagicPlate lower on the device if your wireless charger is positioned at the bottom.

Magnetic field affecting device operation

While the magnets are designed to be safe for smartphones, avoid placing devices with sensitive components or traditional hard drives (like older iPods) directly on or too close to the magnet for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the desired mounting surface on your dashboard or console.
  2. Apply the automotive-grade 3M adhesive base of the mount to the clean surface and press firmly.
  3. Choose a MagicPlate (large or small) and attach it to the back of your device, behind your phone case, or directly to your device. Ensure it is centered for optimal magnetic grip.
  4. Place your device onto the magnetic mount. The 4-axis adjustable head allows for precise angle adjustment.

Compatibility:

  • Works with most smartphones, GPS devices, and tablets.
  • Note: Does NOT work with iPod Classic or other devices with traditional hard drives due to strong magnetic fields.
  • Note: Not MagSafe compatible. Use only the provided MagicPlate.

Care:

  • To clean the mount, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • If the adhesive loses its stickiness, it is generally not recommended to reposition it extensively, as this can degrade its effectiveness. If removal is necessary, clean any residue carefully.
