I Spent Over $1000 On Wireless Car Mounts! Here's My Top 10!

[@MobileReviewsEh]

So here’s the breakdown for the rest of the chargers #6 Mous Wireless Charger Car Vent Mount The biggest problem we had with the Mous mount was the charge speeds on the iPhone. The Mous charger had the one of the slower charge speeds for the iPhone. Mous does include one of their premium cables with the mount which is neat AND if you’ve got other people who use your vehicle that don’t use iPhones, this charger is going to be worth getting. Like other Mous products, the build quality is above average but when compared against the other products that we’ve tested, it doesn’t fare as well. If you’ve bought into the Mous system, getting the Mous charger isn’t a bad idea. If you need want a discount, I think we still have a 20% off code that works at www.mous.co. Use “mobilereviewseh2103f” for a potential discount. #7 Spigen Steadiboost x35W I’ve been using Spigen mounts for years now. Based on our ranking system, the Spigen mounts are apparently very average. The factor that lowers the score in our ranking system is the charge speeds. It is one of the slowest chargers that we tested. Now we will admit that the Qi-charging and MagSafe compatible iPhones are finicky but still…. The Spigen Steadiboost is one of the cheaper mounts that we reviewed so if price is of concern, get yours here: mreh.ca/31H2EAU #8 Scosche MagicMount Charge 3 This charger was a pain to get. Sure, Scoshe claims that it’s the #1 brand for iPhone accessories in Canada BUT you can’t actually get them shipped to Canada through their site. Though their customer service was nice enough to tell us that we can get the mounts through Amazon… The standout feature is the double pivot head. It allows you to get the perfect viewing angle for your device. Scosche includes a plethora of methods to attach your iPhone to the charger, ranging from taping magnets to your iPhone are adding them to a case. That improves the longevity of the product by a bit BUT that doesn’t really matter when charing your iPhone is is quite slow. See if your Amazon store can send you a Scoshe MagicMount Charge 3: mreh.ca/3mdKe4h #9 Moshi SnapTo I really liked the design of the Moshi SnapTo. It had a minimalist aesthetic to it. BUT with minimalism, you end up loosing some of the long term functionality that other manufacturers have. The standout feature of the Moshi product is the ability to mount the product on your dash OR in a vent. The vent mount attachment is cleverly hidden in the base of the dash mount which is neat. From a charging speed perspective, the SnapTo is average. The biggest downside is the actual method that you attach your iPhone to the SnapTo charger. You need a Moshi case. And as of right now, none of their cases are worthwhile to get. From our perspective anyways. Bought a Moshi case already? See if you can get a Moshi SnapTo on Amazon: mreh.ca/3cGTdHX

[@iCanbEYOURrUKIA]

I've been using an iOttie Qi charger in my car for years with my Samsung phones and it has been solid. I agree, plugging in a cord will always be faster, but my car is 15 years old and does not have built in USB ports. I installed a new radio a few years ago with Bluetooth/USB ports, but I still use my iOttie everyday since it's in my eye line and safest for navigation.

[@RaySchrantz]

I've been using the iOttie wireless charging mount for a bit over a year and I've enjoyed it quite a bit, but it has some downsides, some which are specific to my personal situation and some that are just a problem with the device itself. The first problem I have with the device is that it doesn't have any sort of small backup battery power that will allow it to open and close at least 2-3 times. Sometimes I need to charge faster, so I unplug the charging cord from the phone once it's in the mount and plug in my phone directly so it can charge at 25w instead of 10w. But once I do that, the automatic clamping doesn't work anymore, so if I take it out to type something and try to put it back in, I have to unplug the cord from my phone and back into the mount in order to get it to open. My second issue is how unreliable the wireless charging is, but it's kind of my own fault. I use popsockets popgrips, so there's a plastic plate on the back of my phone case after I twist the popgrips off. The thickness of my phone case, plus the popgrips mounting plate is right around 5mm, which is the maximum distance that wireless charging works at. If the phone moves in the mount at all, the phone will not charge, so I almost always end up plugging it in directly after it's in the mount, which is honestly a bit stupid, I know. I know I should just get a non wireless charging magnetic mount and plug it in, but I'm waiting for these new mobile accessories from Peak Design to ship, which have a more secure magnetic mount that work with wireless charging, so I guess I'll just make due until then.

[@ashotgaziyan8876]

I love your setup already- Sony ZV 1 and Zhiyun crane M2. I have exactly the same. Subscribed.

[@ericcrawford1533]

Had a old iottie phone holder, cut the back ball off and glued a apple magsafe charger to it and it works great

[@ToastedWafflee]

Love your reviews, now I have to buy a new mount for my non-existent car

[@rickbrand6231]

As a truck driver I find the Quadlock the best for me. I know it’s not going to fall off the mount if I drive on or hit a hard/rough spot on the highway. But it is expensive and I wish they would improve their color lineup to something other than black

[@jackshen5093]

My reasons for using wireless charging: 1. I can easily start charging my phone while driving, without looking for the cable and trying to plug it into the phone with one hand 2. I use a Qi-charger so the navigation doesn’t drain the battery, which is the most cases. If I’m low on charge I’d just plug in a cable. I’m using a $40 no-name charger with gravity clamps. Super easy to use, as this kind of mounts doesn’t require a special case or waiting for the automatic clamps to open/close. The only con is probably not holding the phone too tight, which is not a problem in most cases.

[@ninal6848]

I love seeing Val in the videos because you two banter a lot and it's super fun to watch, but I'm sorry about all the weirdos in the comments :/ also, yes on the QuadLock review, because I've been getting those ads EVERYWHERE and I seriously doubt it's as great as they try to make it look. Also, 57 minutes to go from 10-50%.... that is tragically slow and I'm firmly in camp anti-wireless charging with you

[@epradeep]

[@adam805]

We need a "Top 5" whiskey list from Aaron and Val. (Or an intervention) Why weren't CD mounts not included in this roundup?! Always found sticky pads to be annoying, and air vent mounts always seemed a little wonky. CD mounts are the way to go! way more stable and provide great viewing angles, most the mounting ball joint things(not all ) are universal in my experience. Using the Hatalkin magnetic car mount with random CD mount A+

[@Sparky91787]

Can we see a MagSafe car mount video?

[@migstoronto9005]

Thanks for reviewing all the phone car mounts. Saved a lot of time and money before making an informed decision. End up going with iOttie Wireless Car Charger Auto Sense/Clamping Qi-Mount.

Key missing component is the adhesives for the minimalistic mount, which ones actually hold

[@E36Paradise]

I have the quad lock car mount and really don’t have any issues.

[@vikvc]

I have a quadlock case and it works amazingly with the mount I have on my bike. However, the case itself sucks. It is so slippery and hard that i had to add tape on the sides just so I can use my phone during the day. Thanks to your video i know i should not buy their car mount. I guess I'll get a new case with one of your links in the future.

[@J0hnnyrenegxde]

Is it a thing for you guys to wear that visor to check the phone at the beginning of the video or am I missing something

[@ladjkaoz]

scosche usually are well accesorise. till now day I haven't fund one that works well. those suction bases end up falling off, the vent holders the same accelerate. bit to fast or take a curb too fast phone goes off flying. I'll say the vent with hooks is the better hold power yet very incompatible from car to car.

[@tomwilson8940]

Hi! I have used dozens of car mounts and while Canadian, live and work on the French Riviera. The sun is really hot here on the Mediterranean and the heat coming in through the windows is horrendous in the summer. Vent mounts suck as they block the cool breeze. Dash mounts on a disk work well, but... you have to make sure the phone is out of the sun, or the display gradually gets darker as the phone heats up. Currently, I use one of the extendable ones that a number of the mounts you tested do, and make sure it is out of the sun on the windshield. I have found as the sun is so intense, having a mount on the glass, means it will fall off if the car is left in the sun. My newest mount for my iPhone XR is a case that mimics the iPhone 12 and I have an after market MagSafe mount that, so far is working great. Keep up the great work, your reviews rock!!

[@FreshMootz]

I'm trying to justify using one of these. I have carplay and a cable. What else do I need? I have the phone screen on my dashboard via carplay.

[@fatihayhan5150]

Sad that you didn’t test the Xiaomi wireless car charger it’s actually perfect for me!

[@nivelfinal276]

Do the Quadlock review, their iPhone cases are the best one in the market, very high quality

[@f9thskynet]

I would just like to point out the quadlock is not a charge type mount that is great for anything other than off roading and for utility vehicle or motorcycle if you're buying it as a general user it really isn't that great of a mountain I will agree with you otherwise for those who do operating like I do or my brother-in-law the quadlock does much better which is why their parts are so much more expensive they're meant for off roading vehicles or utility vehicles, I would have kind of assumed that most people buying that particular kind of mount It's buying it for that reason most people are not gonna spend not much money for amount unless they're using it with specific tasks in mind

[@DennySantos23]

[@zachw611]

Hey Aaron, just was curious about your favorite case of all time (loopy). Do they offer one that doesn’t get greasy on the back around the loop? Been a loopy fan since your early videos, have had one since the iPhone 6!

[@SpankinYaBoy]

I know this is an old video, but you mention for some of these car charging mounts you have to get the respective case (Magbak, Pitaka, ect). Can you not mix and match the cases? For example, if I have a Magbak case, would I not be able to effectively use the Pitaka charger mount?

[@Christer885]

Val is amazing 😊👍🌹

[@robertjakicic5878]

I am using the AA wireless dongle for my s21 ultra android phone which works fantastic. My question is if I decide to purchase a wireless charger will it interfere with the AA wireless dongle?

[@michaelo9039]

My issues with car mounts have always been the suction cup mechanism not working or not for long especially on hot days and the entire mount falling down. Did you test for that in this video at all?

[@joshferry3628]

Old video sorry, so things may have changed and I am gonna sound dumb. But they need to make a cigarette lighter USB adapter (I'm in my 50's, that's what it is called.) that will pass thru your driving app data to your car (Apple Car play or Android Auto) but you get the 20w charging by cable. I would buy that and keep my "really dumb non charging iOttie". Kinda like a Network switch or USB hub with power.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Do you know of a magnetic wireless car charger that will work with the Pixel 6 Pro?

[@redgar6467]

Quad lock. Sure. Have a link for that a/c to d/c adapter? I have an Kottke I don’t want in the car because my car play is wired only.

[@micahpowers2614]

Quad lock is pretty garbage for car related mounts. I can see it for biking. But its a pain in the ass to use for a car.

[@jake30966]

Hi guys great review thanks , I use my phone as dashcam as dashcams are just dreadful so is there any windscreen mounted ones yous would recommend that has very little movement or vibration that would otherwise render the video pretty useless and unwatchable ?

[@stevennewitt2888]

Getting ads for Quadlock while watchinig this video :)

[@kabish0603]

Guess it depends on what people are wanting to achieve with their car charger. I've personally never used my charge cable with the intent of charging my battery. I pretty much just plug it in to maintain the battery when using GPS and the such. I think there has only been maybe two or thee times where I needed to actually charge my phone, and I'd use a wired cable for that. QuadLock systems are really good for anything outside of a car lol They work extremely well on motorcycles or anything like a bike / quad ect ect. I don't think I would ever buy one for the car because of just how the system works.

most extreme drop protection case?

[@WarnTrick123]

I'm tired of the suction cup. They don't hold up under heat. The air vent eventually loosen and also weaken the car vent. Cup mounts are just plain stupid because of placement. They need to make one with all articulating joints made of metal, NOT plastic that melts. Mount to the rear view.
