MagSafe Car Mount CD Slot Adjustable Ball Joint

Yes, the MagSafe Car Mount CD Slot Adjustable Ball Joint holds any MagSafe iPhone by magnet, from the iPhone 12 to recent models, bare or in a MagSafe-compatible case. For an older iPhone or a case without a magnet, you need to add an adhesive metal ring.

Yes, the magnetic ring holds the MagSafe iPhone while driving and copes with everyday vibrations. A thick case or one without a magnet reduces the grip: a MagSafe case is preferable.

The flat foot slides into the dashboard's CD player slot, then you turn the thumbwheel to lock it. The manufacturer states a reinforced clip, lined with non-slip silicone.

No, the mount relies entirely on the CD player slot. Without a slot, you need to choose an air vent mount or a dashboard mount.

Yes, the thicker the case, or the more it lacks magnets, the weaker the grip. A MagSafe case, or an adhesive metal ring stuck to the back of the case, ensures good contact with the mount's ring.

Yes, the ring is round: place the iPhone in the direction you want, then adjust the tilt with the adjustable ball joint.

No, the mount does not charge the iPhone and so adds no heat. The screen can, however, get hot in full sun behind the windscreen: avoid leaving the iPhone on the mount in a closed car in summer.

Loosen the tightening thumbwheel to release the clip, then take the mount out of the slot with no effort. No adhesive is used: it leaves no glue residue.

No, installation is done by hand: slide the mount into the slot and tighten the thumbwheel. The manufacturer describes it as simple, with no tools or complicated adjustment.
