Worked like a charm - I have a rectangular WixGear magnet vent mount I use on my BMW X3 with my Iphone 12 Pro Max/Apple leather case (loved the mount but since I upgraded to magsafe phone/case I had to insert the magnet strip at bottom of case so it was not that strong and in a strange place....plus hate having to cord up all the time), took out the magnets from inside the mount, used some 2 sided gorilla mounting tape I had lying around and it is perfect. Thanks!

@GlennSacks 3 жыл бұрын

Nice solution. Except you went through all the trouble of removing the magnet from the mount and gluing the magsafe to it, then you plugged it into a USB-A port, which does not deliver enough power to charge through magsafe at full strength anyway. It tops out at 12w at best, which means you are getting probably 7.5w charging. You need 18w or 20w adapter which only USB-C can deliver to charge the phone at 15w. You can buy these adapters to plug into your lighter, but it won't look quite as clean as your setup. Still a very nice hack. I have a magic-mount in my car. I just stuck the metal plate from the magicmount on the back of the magsafe and put it on there. Works great. I am also probably not getting full charge because of the extra magnet, as you said. But it works and took 20 seconds to install. Using an Anker usb-c car adapter to plug it into.

Thanks for commenting. I did this to have an OEM/Apple looking mount, but I totally understand and agree with your comment. I might look into these adapters.

@tommytexter4054 3 жыл бұрын

The thing is, in order to get “full” 15w of MagSafe charging, you need the 20w USB-C charger. Even that, I used a meter to see it is at around 12w. So the car USB port is at most 12w and you “convert” usb-c to usb-a. Phone probably charging at 7.5w like all the Qi wireless charger (your old one)

Such a great solution - I keep looking for an inexpensive holder for the Apple MagSafe -but I wanted to fit it to a CD-Slot holder. I found a scosche magic mount CD-Slot kit for 10 bucks and just ordered my magsafe puck from Apple. I might just get the amazon holder you linked to and attach that to an older CD-Slot mount from iOttie I have laying around - either way thanks for the perfect idea!

Funny enough, Belkin has _finally_ come out with an Apple-blessed MagSafe mount. Funny enough, this still is not only probably cheaper but also better (if you don't want it on your vents). I happen to have an old ProClip mount for my TTRS, which may work well with this that I can probably easily adapt a ball mount to. That said: How's that OEM MagSafe magnetic connection working for you day-to-day? Does it still seem to hold well for you? Looks like a sporty car, so presumably the suspension is firm so you have a chance to really test its holding power. 😅
