Who this is for / skip

For you if: you drive a MagSafe iPhone (or MagSafe / Peak SlimLink case) and you want maps/calls in view without a cup-holder claw — or you want vent wireless charge you can move between trucks. MagSafe case rules apply. Mount style (adhesive dash vs vent) matters more than the thumbnail.

Skip this page if: the phone is not MagSafe and you refuse a MagSafe or Peak SlimLink case/adapter. Skip Peak M-CM-AA-BK-1 if you will not put 3M VHB on a hard, smooth dash/console. Skip iOttie MGSFIO102 if vents will not hold silicone prongs or HVAC will cook the phone. Skip cup-holder mounts. Skip dual dash cams and mirror cams — wrong product class.

FAQ

Do I need a MagSafe case?
