Aukey Phone Mount - Installation Tips

[@davidweidman2491]

You installed incorrectly. Open the tab while pressing to base, this allows it to actually suction as intended. Once lined up and pressed on, push tab in.

[@jimmycphoto]

thank you! hopefully people see this.

[@api8848]

Do you mean to have the tab open before you place it and press on it ? Or do you have to have it closed to line it up first and then you open it to press and then close later ?

[@bernicevargas6595]

Just bought this from Amazon and was hoping I could find a tutorial on it since the extra parts were confusing and the instructions were so small! This video helped me so much and got a few laughs in as well thank you!!

[@jimmycphoto]

oh thank you for saying that!!

[@mfas062770jcc]

Very helpful. Clear instructions. I especially appreciated your comments about not putting too much pressure on the joint. Good tips!

[@jimmycphoto]

thank you for saying that!

[@todaysrules6730]

Thank you SO much!!! I had my Aukey sitting around after a month, because I was nervous to set it up. I wish they gave illustrated direction. Even though I read it several times, I was still not confident, until I watched you today! Thanks again!

[@jimmycphoto]

wow, that is so kind of you to say!! I'm so happy!

[@ladyfirehorse2230]

Just got mine from Amazon and really enjoyed your video. Clear instructions and great tips! Enjoyed your humour as well :) In my case, after installing the base and letting it set for some hours, I installed the arm but I did it with the lock tab open. I closed/locked the tab only after I was satisfied with the positioning. I felt that applying the suction after increased the pressure which helped the base and arm surfaces bond better. I will be leaving it overnight just to make sure before I even try attaching my phone on it. I have a Note 10+ which is a larger smartphone but my case is silicone and lightweight. I already have a ring magnet attached to my case that attached quite securely to the arm magnet when I tested it before I did the prep and install so hopefully it will hold up tomorrow!

[@billyoung8118]

I have to agree with you about the instruction manual. It would have been much better if there was a diagram of each piece next to the list of all the parts. "Circular Metal Plate"???? There are 2 of them, very different sizes. Simple diagrams of those parts would have made it much easier to understand the installation. I have a degree in electrical engineering, so I'm no idiot.

[@laurastearns1958]

Did you manage to stick back on the one that pulled apart because the surface wasn't flat? If so, what glue did you use?? Thanks

[@jimmycphoto]

yup.. I agree. I made mistakes too. haha, that's why I made a video so I can remember how I did it. You are no idiot.. but.. me? maybe.

[@jimmycphoto]

I don't use glue.. but I did find the flattest surface possible, used all the attachments, and left a heavy book on it overnight. and I did not use the attachment for a day or so. I hope this helps!

[@jimmycphoto]

I hope this helps you! Thank you!

Where can you find the extra sticker base to put on the dashboard I removed it from my old car to put on my new car

[@delilahmast9225]

Thank you, very helpful!!🍓

[@benoitm8273]

J'ai monté ce support sur un TB de mégane 1 et je n'ai pas utilisé la pastille en plastique noir, j'ai bien nettoyé le TB avec une lingette, j'ai attendu qu'il soit sec et j'ai bien appuyé sur la ventouse. Le support ne s'est jamais décollé mais je pense que je vais avoir des soucis le jour où je vais être obligé de l'enlever.

[@laurastearns1958]

Did you manage to get the one that pulled apart because the surface wasn't flat to stick? If so, what glue did you use?

[@jimmycphoto]

I only used what was supplied. I tried using other adhesive tape for a different car but doesn't work. it's better to just get a different holder.

[@jimmycphoto]

hello! I dont have them on my windshield. since then, I have installed a different model that is more recent. you'll see it in my video collection. the one I'm using now is working really well. be sure to see which way you want to have it sit on your dashboard if you do it that way. some swivel and rotate, others don't. thank you!!

[@FlowerChyld43]

@@jimmycphoto I have a bunch of those holders but I've got a PopSocket on my phone. I'm also wondering about the Health of my phone re: putting a magnet next to it. I've always heard Computers + Magnets = No Bueno. Can you speak to that?

[@jimmycphoto]

@Kindred. yes I've heard magnets and x-rays are not good for harddrives etc. although I've put my comp through x-rays and my phone has used magnets for years. no issues because the magnets were not super super strong .. I think. anyway I had to get a different holder that does not use a magnet. I like this one better. you may have to juggle cases, holders to find the right combo that works for you, and also in other people's cars. here's the recent video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZXTpoePp9pgiKs

[@jimmycphoto]

here's the other video that is important to see. my additional thoughts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHjLnmCjq8-lsNU

[@bermidjimn]

Do you think it's ok to mount this is cold weather...like below freezing? I live in MN....it's winter!!

[@jimmycphoto]

good question... do you have a garage you could install this in, and have it cure overnight with a book or weight on it? id say a garage has to help more than just being outside. when i did this it was cold... but not as cold as it is now. i woud think the first few hour of bonding would be best if not in the freezing cold. perhaps wait till an uncommonly warm day?

This is not complete installation guide for a buyer in order to evaluate the product. I think you should have used an actual cell phone to mount and see how it hold the magnet.
