First off, let me say this mount *nails* the basics. The 3D-scanned fit for my 2019 Audi A4 is so precise it looks OEM—no awkward gaps or rattles. The black aluminum alloy feels premium, and those 20 N55 magnets? They’re *brutally* strong. Even on pothole-ridden streets, my iPhone (with MagSafe case) stays put like it’s welded on.

I love the hidden cubby behind the mount—it’s become my MagSafe wallet’s parking spot. No more digging through cupholders! But here’s the hiccup: I’m a chronic phone charger, and threading a cable through was messy. When I needed to quickly grab my phone (think drive-thrus), the cable yanked awkwardly. My fix? Swapped in a magnetic wireless charging pad with the same ball mount. Now it’s *chef’s kiss*—seamless charging + detachment.

Word of caution: The adjustable magnet height is genius… until it isn’t. On longer drives, vibrations slowly loosen the mechanism, causing occasional slips. A drop of Loctite solved it for me, but I wish they’d included a locking washer.

Compared to hazard-button mounts (which made HVAC adjustments a nightmare), this keeps my infotainment screen fully visible while placing the phone at eye level—perfect for R8 Companion + CarPlay Waze multitasking. Just double-check your model year—this thing won’t compromise on fit.

TL;DR: Near-perfect if you tweak it (or add wireless charging). Skip if you hate DIY fixes.
