Full details
The Scosche MagicMount Select MS is designed for drivers who need a secure and stable mount for their smartphone, specifically MagSafe compatible iPhones and other devices, on their car's window or dashboard. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable hands-free experience with adjustable viewing angles. A potential caveat is that its effectiveness relies on the strength of the suction base and the cleanliness of the mounting surface.

FAQs
Is the MagicRing Adapter reusable?
Yes, the MagicRing Adapter is designed to be repositioned if needed. Ensure the surface it's applied to is clean before reapplication for best adhesion.
Can this mount be used on a textured dashboard?
The StickGrip suction base works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces. It may not adhere effectively to heavily textured or porous dashboard materials. Consider using it on the windshield if your dashboard is unsuitable.
What is the difference between MagSafe and the MagicRing Adapter?
MagSafe is Apple's built-in magnetic alignment technology for iPhones 12 and later. The MagicRing Adapter is an accessory that provides magnetic attraction for non-MagSafe phones, allowing them to attach to magnetic mounts like this one.
How long is the warranty for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or Scosche's official website for current warranty information, as it can vary.
Can I charge my phone while it's mounted?
This mount is designed for holding your phone securely. It does not have integrated charging capabilities. You would need to connect a separate charging cable.
Will the magnets damage my phone or credit cards?
The Neodymium magnets used are strong but designed for phone mounting. They generally do not pose a risk to modern smartphones or contactless cards when used as intended. However, it's advisable to keep credit cards with magnetic stripes away from the magnetic mount.
Troubleshooting
Mount does not adhere firmly to the surface.
Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Re-clean the surface and the suction cup. If the suction cup is dusty, rinse it with warm water and let it air dry before reapplication.
Phone feels loose on the magnetic mount.
Confirm your phone is a MagSafe-compatible model (iPhone 12 or later) or has a MagSafe case. For other devices, ensure the MagicRing Adapter is properly applied to the phone or case and correctly aligned with the magnetic mount.
Arm or head adjustment does not stay in place.
Ensure the locking mechanisms for the arm and head are tightened sufficiently after adjustment. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Phone overheats during prolonged use with the mount.
This is not directly caused by the mount. Ensure your phone's ventilation is not obstructed and avoid direct sunlight on the device for extended periods.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Securely holds MagSafe iPhones with powerful magnets.
- Offers extensive adjustability with an extended arm and 360-degree head.
- Includes an adapter for broad compatibility with non-MagSafe phones.
- Strong suction base provides reliable mounting on various surfaces.
- Facilitates safe, hands-free phone use while driving.
Cons
- Suction grip may diminish over time or in extreme temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the desired mounting surface (window or dashboard) thoroughly with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely.
- Press the StickGrip suction cup firmly onto the cleaned surface.
- Adjust the 4.5-inch arm to the desired extension and lock the 190-degree angle.
- Attach your MagSafe-compatible phone directly to the magnetic head. For non-MagSafe or Android phones, first, attach the included MagicRing Adapter to your phone or case, then align it with the magnetic head.
- Use the 360-degree adjustable head to fine-tune the viewing angle.
Compatibility:
- Primary: iPhone models 12 and later with MagSafe or MagSafe cases.
- Secondary: Non-MagSafe iPhones and Android phones using the included MagicRing Adapter.
- Mounting Surface: Smooth, non-porous surfaces such as glass (windshields) and dashboards.
Care:
- To clean the mount, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- If the suction cup loses its grip, rinse it with warm water and allow it to air dry. Reapply to a clean surface.
