Scosche MM2CDPDVSR-SP MagicMount Pro Universal 3-in-1 Phone Vent/Dash/CD/GPS Mount for Vehicles, Removable, Neodymium Magnet, Black

I've seen many reviews that knock these vent clip phone holders, but this one works as advertised. I've tried the way more expensive types that sit in the cup holder or attach to the window with a suction cup or on the dash itself, but this works fine for my needs and my application. The magnet holds my iPhone 15 Pro perfectly still, below eye and window level so it's just a quick glance down to see the map or whatever I might need to look at. The one obstacle (if you can call it that) is I have it attached to the left center vent in the middle of the dashboard. I noticed when it's cold and the heat is running, if I have the heat set to come from the center vents, it will, after some time, overheat the phone and it shuts off. That happened once and it caught me off guard because I had no idea what was wrong with the phone until I saw the overheat icon. I held it out the window for about a mile and the cold air cooled it off. Worked fine. But there is that. If you're in Florida, not a problem. Minnesota? Maybe a problem.

I work at a delivery job where I need to use my phone GPS on a regular basis, and it is essential that I mount my phone in a position where it is easily visible and accessible at all times. The Magic Mount Pro is easily attached to my air vent at eye level, and because of its compact size, it does not completely block the vent. Once attached, the mount will stay in place, but it is easily removable. Magic Mount Pro has a super strong magnet. My phone has never slipped or fall even when driving on rough and bumpy road. Its rotating function make it easy to adjust phone to any angle. I had previously purchased an adhesive mount from this same brand for another vehicle, and after years of use it never failed. Magic Mount Pro is wort every penny.

With the number of distractions that tug at us while we're behind the wheel, one less distraction would be welcome. I think that this mount, wholly unique versus the hundreds of other mounts floating out there in the Amazon-sphere, is conceptually the best. Here's why...When I bought my "previously-owned" 2014 BMW 335i, it did not come with a NAV system. But that's ok given how robust apps like WAZE and GoogleMaps are. Both pack in a lot of color and details and icons when it’s running. However, trying to take a few moments to focus on a 5.5” smartphone screen, to process all of those colors/details/icons, and then to turn your attention back onto the road could possibly take one moment too long.So the key is to obviously keep your eyes from gazing away from the road for too long. And nowadays, manufacturers know that it’s important to maintain your line of sight with the traffic ahead which explains the increasing popularity of factory-installed-at-the-assembly-line HUD systems.Thus, the best option, really, is to get a dashboard mount. The other categories either force you to look below the dashboard horizon (CD Slot Mount; Cup Holder Mount; mounts that plug into your 12v outlet; Rennline Phone Mount) or will obscure your field of vision (window mounts). But, the dashboard of the 335i BMW (F30 chassis) is irregular and there is no viable real estate on which to affix a dashboard mount.This particular vent mount accomplishes two things. First, the neck is 2"+ in length, so the phone can be placed at a position that won't block the vent's airflow or the front console buttons. Second, it gets my eyes looking right at about the dashboard horizon, which is the preferred view.Currently, I own a Moto Z2 Play (5.11 oz). I had also purchased a rugged Otterbox case for it known as the (OMG, this is a long name): UZER Shockproof Hybrid Slim Dual Layer Rugged Rubber Hybrid Hard/Soft Impact Armor Defender (1.6 oz; .30” thickness).I will say that the case was TOO THICK for the magnet to hold this securely. I decided to remove the black plasticky part that looked like the tire tread (thereby sacrificing the kickstand). And, this helped. The case is now just 1/16” thick. And the magnet connection is strong. I’ve tried driving through my neighborhood’s in-need-of-repair roads and over some speed bumps at nearby shopping mall parking lots. The phone remains firmly attached to the magnet mount.I also really like how you can “angle” this mount any which way. The neck rotates 360 degrees around the clip that you secure to your vent. Thanks to a ball joint there, that neck can also be adjusted maybe 30 degrees along the axis. There is a similar ball joint where the neck meets the magnet mount. So, there is a lot of flexibility regarding how you can “customize” how to position your smartphone.I give this 4 stars and not 5 for these two reasons. First, I wished that the magnetic mount was rectangular instead of square. The added surface area of a larger magnet would probably make the connection even more sturdy. Also, the mount is prone to wobbling. That’s not because the connection points are loose. In fact, you will need to apply a little elbow grease to adjust the mount. Your car’s vent slat is plastic. The neck of the mount is plastic. So, there is going to be “give” when you go over bumps, if for example, the neck is set in the 12 o’clock position. What I decided to do was to attach the mount to my upper-right section of the vent near my door. By adjusting the neck into the just-before-12 o’clock position and attaching my phone to the magnet, the left side of my phone lies against my A-Pillar thereby creating a pseudo-snug and non-wobbly fit. Well, it works well for me. And, even though I think most mounts are “a-dime-a-dozen”, I do most certainly like this one.

My primary use is for my Mini Cooper that I rarely use the CD player in anymore (usually play music from my phone while using it for nav) and it worked perfect for that on a recent road trip. Was going to get the fancy ProClip trim-based mount for 4x the price, but had to cancel that when they couldn't deliver in time for a trip. Just as well, as this mount puts the phone in a better/more flexible viewing position. The only down side is that it makes accessing the radio controls a little bit of a hassle because of the positioning relative to the CD slot, but there is still room to reach around or the phone arm can pivot out of the way.The other (very minor) disappointment was that the magnet/plate system is not quite up to the task of holding my 5G tablet, which would have been great for having a larger/easier to see nav display. A smaller/lighter tablet might work, but that is not what I have.The adhesive and vent-clip pieces for additional vehicles/situations are a nice bonus. I use the vent clip for rent-a-car situations when I travel, just taking it and the magnetic head along, since it usually works with the more common vent configurations in rental vehicles. This clip has a hinged fold-down stabilizing brace that is not pictured, making it better in some situations than the other vent clips I have tried.

The magnet is not that strong, and the arm is weak, it doesn't hold a heavy phone. and even though it's designed to not block the air it still blocks the air with rubber piece that holds the arm.

I was really excited about this product as I never liked where my current holder placed my phone. The CD mount side is excellent, by far the best I've seen. It's in there super sturdy and doesn't try to walk itself out, but at the end of the arm the ball that mates with the magnet holder just pops into place and with any sort of bump the phone moves around until it falls off. I wish there was a way to tighten that end to make it more ridged but as it is it's almost unusable without possibly gluing it.

This phone holder, using the air vent attachment, makes for a really clean looking solution to having your phone secured. Magnet holders well and places my phone in a safe and convenient place while driving.

Wow , easy to place and does not block the vents , so my phone does not heat up in the winter with the heat on nor does it block the cold air for the summer

La calidad del producto es superior, la ventosa tiene fuerza suficiente para sostener hasta una tablet de 10". Incluye láminas metálicas para dos dispositivos.

exactly what I needed. Working fine so far.

FACIL DE UBICAR EN LAS VENTILAS DEL AUTO, TIENE UN BUEN AGARRE Y NO ES MUY GRANDE. FUE PARA UN REGALO Y LA PERSONA QUEDO MUY SATISFECHA Y CONTENTA.CUMPLE CON LO QUE OFRECE LA PUBLICACION.

L'adhérence à un tableau de bord est trop faible.
