The “best” mount depends on your car, your phone, and how you drive.

• Mount location: Dash/windshield mounts offer height and reach. Vent mounts keep the screen lower and can help cooling. Cup holder mounts suit deep center consoles.
• Attachment style: Suction/gel pads adhere to smooth surfaces. Clamp or auto‑clamp arms work well with thick cases. Magnetic options offer quick on/off when used with compatible cases or adhesive rings.
• Charging needs: Consider built‑in wireless charging or a mount with cable clips.
• Adjustability: 360° rotation, telescoping arms, or goosenecks can improve viewing comfort.

Compare product specs for width/weight ranges and compatibility notes, and check customer reviews for real‑world feedback from similar vehicles.

Rules vary by region. Many places allow hands‑free use but limit where a mount can sit on the windshield or dashboard.

• Check local rules: Visit your transportation authority or DMV website for windshield‑obstruction and handheld‑device guidance.
• Place thoughtfully: Keep the screen within easy glance, without blocking your view, mirrors, sensors, or airbags.
• Go hands‑free: Set your route before driving and rely on voice guidance or audio prompts.
• Lower placements: Dash, low windshield, vent, or cup holder spots may reduce obstruction.

This is general information, not legal advice. When in doubt, verify requirements in your area before installing a mount.

Magnetic mounts can be very convenient, but performance depends on your case and setup.

• Built‑in magnet cases: Cases with an aligned magnetic ring typically pair best with magnetic mounts.
• Standard cases: If your case isn’t magnetic, a stick‑on ring or thin plate (often included or sold separately) can help.
• Wireless charging: Metal plates may interfere with wireless charging. Choose a ring designed for charging and align it carefully.
• Case thickness: Rugged or wallet cases can weaken the magnetic hold. A slimmer case generally improves stability.

Review the mount’s compatibility notes and consider an adapter ring if you want magnetic convenience without changing your case.

A few quick adjustments can improve grip and reduce drops.

• Prep the surface: Clean the glass or dashboard pad with mild soap and water, then let it fully dry.
• Refresh the suction: Rinse the suction cup in warm water, air‑dry until slightly tacky, then reinstall.
• Choose the right surface: Smooth glass often provides a more consistent hold; textured dashboards may require the included adhesive disc.
• Lock it in: Press firmly and engage the locking lever completely.
• Mind heat and treatments: High heat or recently treated/ dusty surfaces can reduce grip. Re‑seat periodically as needed.

If you use a long arm or heavy phone, mounting closer to the base can help minimize vibration.

Many mounts support charging, either wirelessly or via cable management.

• Wireless options: Look for mounts with built‑in charging coils and use a compatible case or magnetic ring for alignment.
• Power source: Pair the mount with a vehicle adapter that meets the charger’s wattage recommendations; charging speed can vary by device and conditions.
• Cable management: Non‑charging mounts often include clips or channels to keep cords tidy and out of the way.
• Heat management: Airflow from a vent mount can help keep charging temperatures in a comfortable range.

Check each product’s specifications for charging speed, connector type, and compatibility so you can match it to your setup.
