First off, I was skeptical about magnetic mounts after a few bad experiences, but this one? Total game-changer for my Audi RS3.
The installation was stupid easy—just popped out the vents (used a guitar pick, lol) and slid this bad boy in. Took less than 2 minutes while waiting at a red light. Pro tip: Go slow with the vents to avoid scratches.
The magnet strength is Goldilocks-level perfect. My iPhone 13 Pro (with case) stays put even on bumpy backroads, but it’s not so strong that I need Hulk strength to remove it. That said, my friend’s chunky OtterBox case did slip once during aggressive cornering.
Design-wise, it looks OEM. The black metal matches my interior so well that passengers think it came with the car. The 360° ball joint is smooth—lets me angle my phone vertically for GPS or horizontally for music browsing.
Now the cons: The included adhesive magnets are flimsy AF. My first one peeled within days despite careful handling. Emailed customer service though, and they shipped replacements no questions asked—major props there.
Final verdict? If you drive a 2014+ A3/S3/RS3 and hate clunky mounts ruining your cockpit aesthetic, this is worth every penny. Just order extra magnets upfront if you plan to switch cases often.
