Let me start by saying this MaserWeller phone holder is a godsend for my 2019 Audi A4. The magnetic grip is insanely strong – those 20 N55 magnets aren’t playing around. Even on pothole-riddled Brooklyn streets, my iPhone stays put like it’s welded to the mount. The included cubby for MagSafe wallets? Genius touch – no more fishing for my wallet between seats.

Installation was shockingly easy – just clip it onto the 8.3-inch screen frame. No tools, no permanent marks, and it blends so well with the interior that passengers think it’s OEM equipment. The 360° rotation lets me position my phone vertically for Waze or horizontally when streaming, though I wish the adjustment mechanism was sturdier (more on that later).

Now for the not-so-great: While the mount itself feels premium, some users report brittle plastic parts snapping during assembly. Mine held up fine, but I can see how rough handling might cause issues. The biggest annoyance? No built-in wireless charging. I had to MacGyver a solution by swapping in a charging pad – an extra $35 expense that should’ve been included.

The adjustable magnet height is both a blessing and curse. Yes, you can customize positioning, but that same adjustability means occasional rattling on rough roads until you find the sweet spot with thread locker. Pro tip: Tighten it more than you think necessary during initial setup.

Compared to vent mounts or dashboard solutions, this keeps your phone at perfect eye level without blocking climate controls – crucial when using R8 Companion alongside CarPlay. Just be absolutely certain about your model year compatibility before buying; their return policy isn’t forgiving about wrong fits.

Final verdict? 4/5 stars if you don’t need charging functionality, drops to 3/5 if wireless power matters to you. When it works (which is most of the time), it’s easily the cleanest-looking and most functional mount I’ve tried for these Audi models.
