I'm doing this for my older 2011 Honda Pilot. I ordered a ball mount specific to my vehicle from Course Motorsports. It clips between the dash panels for a clean look. I HATE mounts you have to stick to the dashboard using double sided tape, or vent mounts, or suction cup mounts. I too was gonna use it with Apple's MagSafe charger but the white would just clash with the black/dark grey interior, so I ordered a black MagSafe charger on Amazon from JSAUX and it comes with a USB C to USB A adapter. It looks just like the Apple MagSafe charger, just in black.
I recently added a wireless CarPlay adapter to my car so this is gonna complete the system perfectly.
Hope this works for you!!
Man, this is cheaper than most of the car mount offerings, easy to put together, does "with charging graphic" true 15W, and is slimmer/cleaner than any of them, and that TOZO magnet is significantly stronger than the gigantic/eyesore ESR Halolock. Finally strong magnet, slim/clean (any ball mount you want), 15W charging. Just put one together. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
I love it great job!!! That's one accessory that Porsche just has nothing for so I'm glad you figured something out.
Thanks 👍
Seems a crappy thing when buying such an expensive car without improvements
simple and smart! thanks for sharing. 👍
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching !
“Phone mount guru” 😂😂😂
Haha
@@TommyLGarage I love the channel tommy, I just want to keep seeing great content & congrats on the Porsche.
I had the exact same problem when I upgraded to the exact same phone . Thanks . I know what to do with my redline phone holder now .
Nice !
This looks awesome! I just bought and opened the Apple MagSafe as suggested from your previous hack though. :/ Next rev! Will keep this wireless charger in mind! Thanks!
They will work the same. Just different color
@@TommyLGarage Yeah. I like how the black matches my interior, but I can always change it for the next rev. Good to know there's an aftermarket version that works well!
Just what I need. Thank you
Awsome !
kki
That interior looks so good
Thanks! I agree
How strong is the magnet when you hit bumps in the road? Because the one I had the phone popped off the magnet every time. Best one I’ve found is the Scosche mounts. Hands down best magnet mounts
The one I linked is super strong.
Is there an ExactFit Magnetic Cell Phone Mount that fits a 2022 Subaru Outback? I'd love to find one.
awesome stuff! would love to see you do an apple car / android auto integration
Hopefully sometime soon
Best mount for the phone while driving is in your glove box,,Turn off the phone and place it in your glove box while driving no phone calls that important
Great video tommy
Thanks!
I am just confused on how to get the part with the little chrome ball attached. Where can I get that piece? It doesn't look like it is listed in the description. Thanks!
I linked it in the video
That’s a Steelie mount correct ? You know you can get the orbiter mount right
Yes. Both are good
Nice.
Thanks! :)
they have one with magsafe FYI
My influence :)
You are a Phone Mount Guru!
That's what they call me!
"as long as you have a ball" lol
Or two :)
So...how does it hold up while driving? It looks pretty easy to move around. Wondering if it will go flying off on a hard corner? Otherwise looks like a great solution.
Nope. Zero issues. Stays intact
I tried this setup and was really hopeful it would work. The mount is great but the Tozo MagSafe charger is really bad. It doesn’t hold up a iPhone 13 mini as it falls when you go over bumps. Also have an iPhone 11 Pro with a spigen ring on the back and same thing. Falls off. The charging speed is super slow as well. Very disappointed.
When you find a position you like for the mount then sand the ball and receiver surfaces with sand paper and drown them in super glue. That will ensure the mount will never move around in the car.
Now that’s an idea !!
Oh yeah??? What’s your favorite position?
@@whitemailprivilege2830 Dude this is so random. To answer your question ... uhh … missionary.
Awesome 😊🤘🏻
Thank youb
Any videos on adding more than 1 cigarette outlets?
I currently have 1 which I have my dash cam connected
Good call. Let me look into it
@@TommyLGarage thanks man!!
U earned a new subscriber
Does the MagSafe charger allow CarPlay to connect to your iPhone if it doesn’t have wireless connection
No. It’s just a charger
Well firstly, you should really were safety glasses and gloves when implementing tile as a grinding instrument... (DONT YOU HATE THAT?).
That looks really nice. Unfortunately for me, I have a jacket that keeps 5 cards in the back.. very nice so I don't carry a wallet anymore, except it will not take a magnet now.
Hi, great vid! Thanks for the info. What cigarette lighter charger are you using? I couldn’t find it in the items you linked
Mine doesn’t seem to work with the MagSafe charger. Thanks in advance.
I have a magsafe vent mount made by Vicseed, and it's shockingly strong. I live in Quebec, we're notorious for terrible roads and it's never fallen off. It's not a wireless charger though
Mine is a wireless charger. Works well and holds strong
I hope you realize there are MagSafe car mounts you can buy for cars.
I hope you realize this video is a year old
Does carplay work?
Yes it does
Is the tozo magsafe strong enough for bumps or will the phone fall of
Definitely!!!
I too hate having wires running around. I hide what I can
Great video. Where did you get the mount that attaches behind the trim panel?
Here you go - worth every penny: bit.ly/3APt1ov
Does it charge at 15W?
No it won’t but it will be fast enough
Think I’ll do this to my Porsche
You got it. It’s an awesome mod
Yea. Bam. Hit any bump and good luck picking it off the floor on the other side of the car.
Negative. Works like a charm
This looks great. I just have one question. Does it hold the phone when you hit a large bump? The roads are bad where I live. Thanks
Thank you and yes it holds the phone very firmly. I absolutely love this mount
Magic mount from scosche holds the phone.
Hhmmm
What’s the difference between this solution and your previous video?
Just a different mount. And it is black as opposed to white
Nicely done. I am looking for similar solution but want to off set the phone to right more so it does not block the PCM screen. Currently I have my iPhone X with metal plate on the back so it sits off center. Did you come across any offset mounts with the same sized ball receiver as the Rennline mount has? (Boxster).
I haven't; but it should be pretty straight forward to fabricate
Ok the idea is very good but what is the watt charging capacity of this wireless charger?
I believe 8
Hey Tommy! Where did you get the steel ball on your dash to mount it to? I noticed that in your bwm video and was curious.
Linked it in the description for you :)
I have an iPhone 12 Pro with a otter box symmetry case, do you think this application will work while using my phone case?
yes sir it should
Have you compared this to the actual Apple Magsafe charger? Is the magnet stronger? I have the magsafe charger now and my phone drops off if going on a rough road.
Yes. Magnet is stronger on this one
I tried the TOZO charger and the magnet is hopeless. iPhone keeps falling off on the smallest bumps in the road. The magnet is so weak. So disappointed this didn’t work.
did you mean USB-C in the description --> 3. USP C to A adapter (I'll delete this after)
You’re right!
The easiest way to flatten this out is on my sandpaper like floor. Or just find some sandpaper.
Update: they literally sell mounts that also wirelessly charge your phone the same way.
No need to hack what doesn’t need hacking.
You know this video is 12 months old right ?
@@TommyLGarage is there now a solution that doesn’t require this hack? 981 Boxster with iPhone 13 pro max. Rennline should just do a MagSafe option on their mounts
Will this also work with apple car play?
Yes but it has no relation. Think of It as just a fancy phone clip.
wow, this guy has subscribers?... grinding on the floor????
He has like 4 subscribers I think...
Hi, Tommy I have something similar like you is it OK to leave the cigarette lighter always plugged in? Thank you
Yes. No issue. Keep it plugged in
@@TommyLGarage thank you
Does it stay on the mount while driving hitting bumps?
Yes it does. It’s perfect
Great video but does wireless charger work with android. If not could you tell me which charger recommend for android.
Moment makes a magsafe compatible case for a variety of Android phones that you can use with this and any other magsafe (or derivative) accessories! Apple's magsafe charger uses standard Qi wireless charging that almost all Android phones have, but it's the ring of magnets that provides the more unique use case. I'm hoping more companies will create more accessories. There's so many possibilities!
It is only for apple
@@TommyLGarage it can work for Android too. You either need a case that has the magnet ring installed in the right place already, or you can install the magnet rings manually. Apple uses the same qi wireless standard that Android has had for years.
Does the phone fall out once u start driving lol.. That's the key
Nope. It stays in
Is the wireless charger the Tozo W6 15w charger?
Will this work for my iphone 11max? I just bought a used audi s5 and would like to do this
Yes it will
Is there a way to get MagSafe to work with apple car play ?
They're independent of one another
Great hack! Question: is the the TOZO charger the exact same size (diameter and depth) as the Apple Magsafe charger? I can't find any specs to confirm. I assume that both have 1 meter length of cord. Correct? Thanks.
It’s a bit bigger.
isn't the Rennline mount not listed in your products used in this video link?
What mount is that that has the metal ball?
I think after the charger heats up, 3M comes off. I'm not saying if it gets hot in the sun.
Nope
Why didn't you use the BMW's navigation?
Doesn't show police like Waze does
@@TommyLGarage That's a good point!
how is the charger anchored to the dash ?
I linked it in the description. Rennline mount
I like your video, does the cup holder work properly after the mounting?
Thanks. And I don’t use the cup holder but you can put the mount on the other side
Thanks for all the videos but I have a question you may have a hack for lol . So I want a magnetic vent charger for iPhone 12 that I can tilt . I noticed yours tilt but it’s not one for the vent . Please help guru !
The plastic ones I listed in the description will tilt. They’re on a ball.
I have Apple Car Play in my truck. Will this work plugged into my USB with the USP C adapter? If not any ideas what to do?
Excellent job MacGyver. Ty
Yes! Should work!
Sugru glue would be stronger
What is the magsafe charger that you used?
I lined it in the description
@@TommyLGarage is it the Tozo wireless charger? Or the magsafe charger?
Tried checking the magsafe charger’s link, it brought me to amazon with magsafe charger search results😅
And was the charger magsafe compatible? Or has the genuine magsafe charging?
there’s actually a better one but i don’t think ut charges
I like the charging ones
Is the TOZO with the rubber top better because the grip then is better instead of a glossy top? And which TOZO version do you use? Link does not work for me
Yes it’s rubberized. I updated the link for you now :)
@@TommyLGarage once again, legend. Thanks a lot bro 💪🏽
Cool idea dude, thanks. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thanks!!
My MagSafe worked perfectly fine on my f30 but I really wanted a black one so I got this one but it’s not charging in my car? It worked fine at home when I did a test but it’s just not doing anything in the car :(
Hhmm strange. Did you blow a fuse? Maybe unit is faulty? Mine works fine
Just checked to make sure but nope no blown fuses 😔 the MagSafe still works great I’m gonna just have to deal with it for now
@@TommyLGarage How does the MagSafe hold up in the long term? I am worry that the MagSafe will break easily under constant 120 Fahrenheit inside the car.
just get a rokform case and mount
Will try
@TommyLGarage u wont be disappointed trust me
Now I know where you keep your drug stash !!!😎
Haha don’t tell anyone
Hey Tommy, out of curiosity...r u considering to own the g80 m3?
Only if I could get it for an amazing employee pricing
@@TommyLGarage even though that front grill is iffy imo, i’d still be tempted for anyone who wants to try out/own a g80 m3/g82 m4
Hi! How did you put the metal ball in place? Looks much more secure than an adhesively placed mount
It’s a Rennline mount specifically designed for this car.
Floor.... Sandpaper.... Whatevs
whatever works :)
1st step buy a porche
Lol true
4:34 That's partia is not 'so modular' system but rather poor Porsche build quaility LOL
haha fair enough
The floor? Really? Have you not heard of sandpaper? 😂
Floor was faster lol
This car doesnt support Apple play?
Nope.
Usecarplay and leave phone in the glove box
This looks cool
Ph falls off on bumpy ride
Nope
Great Video! Why do you remove the magnets from the mount?
Magnets are reverse and they weaken the phone magnet
The issue with magnet mounts is that the metal plates that attaches to the phone hinders the wireless chargers.
If you place the plate off center, higher in my case (11 Pro Max) it still woks with wireless charging. Takes a bit of trial and error to place it correctly but will work.
the iPhone 12 doesn't have that issue since it has a buil-in magnet
So why don't you just patent one exactly like that and sell in millions in America & Europe
PS you might have to remove this video 😅 possible clients everywhere.
No one will buy it
Only bummer I found is that I can no longer use my wireless charger with the magnet affixed to my phone.
Why not remove the magnet ?
Modular, huh? That’s what we’re gonna call it?
I think so! :)
No way it holds up, nice try but not a good solution for anyone.
Ive had it for a year. Zero issues
You owe me 6 minutes and 57 seconds of my life back
Nope. You manage your own life.
So, how is it better than apple MagSafe?
Stronger magnet and black which matches the interior better
I have no idea what problem you are trying to fix in this video. There are plenty of MagSafe car mount/chargers out there. No need to make your own. Besides, why do you even need to mount your phone? I’m sure your car has CarPlay.
cause carplay doesn’t have some features
Would i have to remove the magnet from the car mount? I have a Spigen magnet car mount and don’t know how to remove the magnets on it
Just unscrew it from the back. Magnet will come off
Brodit
Yes
Unfortunately due to Apples voodoo, the only way I know to get 15W charging is to use 100% Apple products like the magsafe charger and 20W charging brick. 🙃
Any other solution and you're only going to get 7.5W to 10W max.
7.5 is enough for me honestly
@@TommyLGarage I want to actually get a decent charge from it so I'm going to be testing some 20W Belkin car chargers with and Inline meter to see if they output the proper 15W.

God, another Video to this topic...
I really enjoy your Videos but these are just insanely annoying bro.
Haha I had to get it out. It’s one of the things I do to every one of my cars. This might be my last phone clip video lol
@@TommyLGarage I will mark your words! 😁
Or i will roll my eyes when the next one is coming out 😀
Just need a magsafe car charger from ebay on the vent and your done. You seem to find it hard to breath too btw
Any other critiques ?
Nothing is $8 in your links anymore. In fact, the cost for your list is well over $100! Anker has one for $70
