Peak Design Mobile Charging Car Mount, Black, Qi1 Charging, Mounts to Dash or Console, Connects to Mobile Cases, MagSafe Compatible, for iPhone, Samsung and Google Pixel Phones

The Lexus 300h and variants is particularly vexing in terms of finding an iPhone holder that will mount someplace and NOT block the built-in navigation screen. The air vents are on this auto do not have enough louvers to attach the mount of holders designed specifically for air vent installations. And there is precious little surface area to mount a stick-on unit, but this one will fit on the "chrome" plastic bezel surrounding the navigation console. And it sticks just fine. Nice product. Someone is making a huge margin on this given the pricing.

The Peak Design Mobile Car Mount with VHB Charging combines functionality and style, offering a secure magnetic attachment for your phone while incorporating wireless charging. Designed for seamless integration with your car's interior, it uses 3M VHB adhesive for installation and allows for flexible mounting in portrait or landscape mode. I tested this car mount over two weeks in various driving conditions to evaluate its performance.Pros:✅ SlimLink magnetic attachment is incredibly secure and easy to use, offering a satisfying click when connected.✅ Sturdy 3M VHB adhesive ensures a reliable mount, even on textured dashboards or during bumpy rides.✅ Sleek, low-profile design complements car interiors without being obtrusive.✅ Wireless charging capability adds convenience, eliminating the need for extra cables.✅ Adjustable to hold phones in portrait or landscape, enhancing usability for navigation or hands-free calls.Cons:❌ Adhesive is permanent, making repositioning difficult without leaving residue.❌ Requires a compatible case or adapter to utilize the SlimLink magnetic system, which adds to the overall cost.Performance and Usability:The SlimLink magnetic system is a standout feature, providing a secure and effortless attachment. During testing, the phone remained stable on rough terrain, and the magnetic hold was strong enough to instill confidence without risking detachment. The wireless charging worked reliably, maintaining consistent power delivery without overheating the device.Installation was straightforward, but the VHB adhesive demands precise placement since repositioning is not practical. The mount's placement minimizes obstruction, keeping the dashboard clean and the driver's field of view clear. Switching between portrait and landscape modes was smooth and required minimal effort.Comparison:Compared to traditional clamp-style car mounts, this Peak Design product excels in ease of use and aesthetic appeal. While many magnetic mounts lack charging capabilities, this one integrates it seamlessly. However, the necessity for a compatible case or adapter is a downside, especially when considering cost.Who Is This For?:This car mount is perfect for tech-savvy individuals who value a minimalist, functional design and the convenience of wireless charging. It’s particularly suited for drivers who rely on their phones for navigation or hands-free functionality and want a mount that blends well with their car's interior.Conclusion:The Peak Design Mobile Car Mount with VHB Charging delivers a premium experience with its secure attachment, sleek design, and wireless charging feature. While the permanent adhesive and compatibility requirements may deter some, its performance and style make it an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade their car mount setup.

The manufacturing quality of the car wireless charger is top notch. If you follow the installation instructions to the letter it seems it will stay forever attached. The phone, Pixel 7 Pro, attaches using the magnet very securely and the charging is pretty fast. The issue I have with this mount is that it has a very short "neck" which limits where you can install it. In my car I ended up sticking it in a spot where part of the phone screen is obscured by the steering wheel. Far from ideal, but no other spot worked. I wish Peak Design came out with a more "normal" mounting option that will make it work better for most cars.

They think of the little things such as two alcohol wipes and adhesive and little cable holder to keep the cable close to the dash instead of hanging away from it just asking to get snagged.

great design. quality material is used and it’s awesome that it comes with a charging option.but the adhesive does not do well in heat. after a couple of weeks the mount fell off my dash and i had to replace the adhesive with double sided tape. which i’ve now replaced 3+ times. now i gotta super glue it to my dash. which i don’t mind but it’s been a hassle.

I have this mounted in my 2018 BMW X5 50.I mounted above the ignition switch.I am using an Otterbox Mag-Safe case. It holds my iPhone 13 nicely and charges my iPhone 13 perfectly.Very nice not having to plug in the phone every time I go out. Also I can leave the phone on continuously while driving to view Pandora, map system or whatever.

I live in Southern California and use a sun shade. In only 2-3 weeks it fell off my dash. I followed the application directions and wait times but the adhesive just didn’t hold. I don’t recommend in states with a warmer climate.

Game changer and must have for every car!
