MagSafe Car Mount Dashboard Foldable Articulated Arm Round Base

Yes, the MagSafe Car Mount Dashboard Foldable Articulated Arm Round Base 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 magnet is designed to hold a MagSafe iPhone during the journey, provided the phone or its case is properly magnetised and centred on the disc. A thick case reduces the grip: test while stationary before driving off.

The round base attaches to a flat, clean area of the dashboard. Textured, porous or very hot surfaces hold less well: clean and dry the area before fitting.

Yes, the magnetic head turns through a full revolution and the arm tilts, so the iPhone can be placed in portrait as well as landscape.

No, only the versions with wireless charging charge the iPhone, up to a stated 15 W. The "No Charging" versions are simple magnetic mounts, and the mixed pack contains one mount of each kind.

Yes, like any wireless charging, it gives off a little heat, more in full sun. The iPhone may then slow charging to protect itself; avoid leaving the unit in the sun in a parked car.

A USB-C cable connects the disc to a power supply in the car. Route it so that it obstructs neither the gear lever nor the controls.

Yes, the articulated arm folds back towards the base, which clears the view when the iPhone is not on it.

The "Pack" colours contain two mounts, with or without wireless charging depending on the colour; the photo of each colour shows what it contains.

Peel the base off slowly, warming it gently with a hairdryer if it resists, then clean the surface. On a textured or fragile dashboard, try a discreet spot first.
