Any recommendations for Iphone Magsafe Mount...(2012 X3 335i F25)

atwnsw · 10-06-2021, 07:14 PM

Just upgraded iphones and want to use the Magsafe mount. Any suggestions for discreet mounts that work on this car? I don't like the clips to the air vent as I rarely find them stable.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have iOS but I have always found ProClip USA makes some nice console mounts. I have used on my Infinitis and previous M cars

My phone connects upon entry and therefore no mount is necessary. Why bugger up your interior unnecessarily? Keep the phone in the briefcase, backpack, pocket.......... and enjoy the drive. It's 2021 - everything should be hands free.

Not everyone has a 2021 vehicle, in case you didn't notice, this is the F25 (2011-2017) forum

Actually hands free is 2000 tech.

For many, HF is only the start - I wanted a mount for accessing WAZE and my favorite sirius xm channels my 2016 can't access. I initially tried to place it in that insert in front of the cup holders when I first bought the vehicle, but I didn't like taking my eyes off the road to fudge with it, and it flips the orientation on you unless it is steady

Yeah sure, but did you know people use their smartphones for with things besides just phone calls which require seeing the phone display and unless they have carplay/android auto/etc... the apps aren't as useful
