Easy Car Mount
I recently purchased an iPhone 16 Pro. I had been using an iPhone 12 Pro Max, but I am planning on some traveling and wanted to upgrade my phone camera. I could have traded in my 12, but I wouldn't have received much for it though still functioning great. My plan was to get another phone mount for my car and use the 12 as a GPS and, since it no longer was on a phone plan, I would use the hotspot on my 16 and the 12 could pull data and use that to use with Apple Maps or any other software. I didn't want to get anything too expensive. While searching on Amazon, I found the PGU Magsafe Car Mount for just under $7 and looked easy enough to install, so I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today. As can be seen in the photos I have uploaded, the package contains everything you need to install the mount on an air vent. The box contains the mount, air vent clip, an accessory package to use with phones that do not have built-in magsafe hardware, including instructions on how to put the mount together and use the accessories to make the mount compatible with your phone. Having the 12, I did not need to make use of the extras. After assembling the mount, which took just a few seconds to do, I took it to my car, along with my iPhone 12, and picked my driver side vent. The mount twists to extend the clip to reach back to latch onto one of the vent flaps. Once snagged, just twist the ring in the opposite direction until it tightens up. Easy enough! I brought the 12 up to the mount and it immediately stuck to it. I then took my car on a short drive and the phone stayed put. The only potential downside to any of these types of mounts is that the vent you use will be partially blocked. I am very happy with this mount. Two thumbs up! Pros: - Very inexpensive. - Easy to put together. - Easy connection to car vent. - Holds phone, even one as big as the iPhone 12 Pro Max, nice and tight. - Includes accessories for other phones or non-Magsafe cases. Cons: - These kind of mounts do restrict or partially block the airflow of the vent they are attached to, but most cars have multiple vents in the front so that shouldn't affect most drivers.
