Good solution. I have Scosche mount. MagSafe sticks pretty good and holds my mini and my friend’s Max.
Thank you-this preserves my favorite formerly magnetic mount for another generation of iPhone. Affiliate links helpful and I ordered with one of them.
I’m glad it helped!!
Thank you for this video! Much appreciated. I just ordered some parts to make my own.
You will love it!!
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!
That’s so awsome to hear!!!
Unscrew the usb and put the whole thing behind the panel!
I was going to say the same
@@Booom_ me too
I don‘t understand 🤷🏻♂️
@@christiankrob8043 you don’t understand to open up the panel that the usb is plugged into and take out the usb part and put the whole thing behind the panel unseen?
samantha farmer you mean behind the BMW panel?
You deserve a lot more subs, best F80 how to and installs on youtube!
Thank you!!
Thanks for this! Will give it a go
Let me know how it goes
This was an excellent use of common sense! Love how you did this Bud!
Thanks!!
It’s 2021. What is this common sense you speak of. It sounds like alien technology
Oh and by the way thank you for the heads up about the Belkin one not charging your iPhone. It doesn’t make it very clear. I nearly bought one as well lol.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I was surprised about the Belkin
I did something similar to this, I put a popsocket on my charger since I already had the popsocket car mount. Works beautifully.
Nice !!
Me too. Works beautifully
You put the pop socket on the back of the MagSafe charger and it works perfectly?
I may have to try this.
Awesome.
I don’t get it
You are a genius, my friend!
Awesome and simple.
I appreciate you sharing this.
Thanks for watching!!!
Nice work Tommy. Good to have videos on Sundays again
Thanks!!
Wow actually an extremely practical, well executed hack - something rare on UA-cam 😅
Thank you!!
@@TommyLGarage Nice DIY. But I would rather buy ProClip magsafe holder(It just holds Apple magsafe charger) and mount specially made for my car. Plus, I would not remove the charger unlessI sell or scrapping it. So I would rather make another cigar jack near fuse box and connect ther charger and cables there.
I though your first setup was clean but your Magsafe setup is even better. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching!!
The minute I seen this MagSafe stuff announced I wondered if this would work. Was worried magnet would not be strong enough to hold while driving. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be 3m taping mine to a ram mount.
Let me know how you made out !
This very helpful! I just picked up a 12 pro max and was wondering if I could use the MagSafe charger with my Rennline phone mount
Hope this helps!!
Very very helpful tip. I prob make my own but for right now my already existing wireless charging car mount is good enough. Lol mine opens the arms when it notices my phone near to dock lol
Nice video!! But i have no space to stick the universal mount in my car..How did you fix that i see its somehow sticking out? That metal round thing?
Fantastic and simple solution! Congrats 👏👏
Thanks !!
Genius!!! Doing this to my e30
Awesome setup. I'm gonna try to do the same thing. Thanks
Thanks for watching !!
Please do one on the belkin. Was gonna buy one before I saw this video because I also thought it was a MagSafe charger. Really like the video though!
Thanks! Working on the Belkin this week hopefully
Wow you did a great job. U just saved me $$ for MagSafe car mount. That looks great in the car as well apart from the long cable.
Thanks!!!
I have an IPad Air Pro and I want to do a car mount similar to like yours. Can you give me some tips for it. I tried the cup holder mounts but they sit to low that it be dangerous to view the IPad for driving. I'm using Ipad for Uber instead of the phone.
Hey there, great video I did the same thing in my Acura I skip the ball part and just 3M rigid Velcro right to the dash rocksolid over bumps and everything didn’t plug it into the USB. I got a usb-C charger higher wattage for fast charge from Amazon. It’s amazing. to me it seems all the ball options phone still vibrates or bounces a little with road conditions or Music with bass Ya mean
Mine doesn’t seem to vibrate but I never play music hehe
@@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.
very nice, i also bought the belkin mount thought the same that it was charger too, but belkin the mount it self works great.
But it’s massive
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!
Good call!!!
That is fantastic! Do you have video on how to install that ball mount behind the head unit please?
here you go: bit.ly/3low7sV
Where i can buy the little metallic ball attachment you mounted on the side of your radio? I have an F30 and it would perfectly fit in my car since i hate glueing something into my car!
Rennline. Only for certain makes and models. I think you’re in luck. 3-series are listed.
did you finally find it or not?
here it is: bit.ly/3low7sV
Any car vent phone mount that would work just like your dashboard mount? Thanks. Awesome video too.
For the most part
I like this solution vs the Belkin as you don't block the AC vent.
I agree!
You’re a saint. I just did this with my camera. Expecting the 14 pro this Friday. The only thing I changed was I used the extra tape that came with the mount as support.
Glad it worked !!
@@TommyLGarage Update; Got my 14pro and the phone stayed on the mount. Thanks again.
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)
I did it for the looks alone
Genius. Thank you very much.
You got it!
Great hack! But the usb adaptor you used/linked to as well as all others I can find all state they don’t work with magsafe chargers since they don’t allow 20v. Some say it starts to charge, but then stops/starts over and over, ultimately draining the battery. Did it work for you long term? Thanks.
Yes - works like a charm!
Same problem
Sublime!! Amo las recomendaciones tan buenas como esta. Good Job Sir!!!
This is a great idea thanks for the tip!
I like your solution our car has a odd shaped dash a vent mounts just block heat an A/c . Bad idea . One question have u tried many other aftermarket holders with built in MagSafe charging an did they give the apple Newer charging animation I have an iPhone 11 I wasn’t even aware there was such an animation but with the newer mag safe cases I would like to upgrade and change car set up excellent video thanks for your help
I tried a few. This one is superior!
Great job as usual Tommy
Thanks!!
Btw some company’s do sell some that charge with MagSafe but the one my mom got only works with the phone on its own or an Apple case third party MagSafe cases don’t work
Cool video and well done. Best part was seeing the beautiful manual shifter.
Thanks! Manual is amazing
What strikes me. Curious is the ball mount that you used. I missed the video of that creation. I too would like to place a more OEM mount in my vehicle and may have to create as opposed to not. Thank (Gracias) you in advance!!
I linked it in the video description :)
thanks for the video , did it yesterday works great !!!
Glad to hear!
Awesome idea! What do you use for CarPlay? I would love to try this idea out but then I would have to use another cable for CarPlay which wouldn’t be good to have 2 different charging sources.
I use car play for maps and text messages
This is the kind of stuff I love to watch 👍
Thank you!!
Great instructional video !
Thanks!!!
Brilliantly explained process! I also have an F series BMW. What is the clip/ call you are using in your dashboard?
It’s a Rennline clip
@@TommyLGarage where did you buy the Rennline clip from?
MrEvltwn their website. Look under 3 series
Nice job! But does your previous magnetic mount works well with the iPhone 12?
Nope. The magnetic mount wont hold the 12. Unless you glue a metal plate to it
I’ve been considering this since launch, thanks for being the guinea pig. Not used car enough due covid so was going to create similar when I can justify another £40 on a second MagSafe charger. I have USB C socket (VW) though not sure of watts. My idea was use holesaw to fit MagSafe in to a frame. But your idea is cheaper (I too collect random car charger spares😂)
Great video. Thanks for making it
Thanks for watching !!
Great tutorial - what is the ball you are using in your setup? It seems to connect with a very small footprint on the dash.
Rennline
Doing this tomorrow in my 335i. Luckily I have a charge port under the dash board on the passenger side so I should be able to achieve a no wire look. Thanks for the idea!!!!
Good to hear! Did it work?
@@TommyLGarage like a charm! I finally have the perfect hold/charge solution for my BMW. I'm installing carplay next week, wish me luck!
What type of magnetic charger can I buy and still use CarPlay
Why do all car mount reviewers drive BMW’s 🤣
Because bmw car mounts suck!!
@@TommyLGarage was expecting a BMW fanboy response, am not disappointed :)
writeoff
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. 😅
Do you not have a 12v socket? If you buy a 20w PD usb 12v socket, you can utilise the 15W wireless charging offered by MagSafe. Even though using the direct USB port is a more ‘cleaner’ solution
Hey Tommy! Great vid per usual! Are u using the Renline phone mount bracket? If so, do u know if the Renline magnet holds ur iPhone 12 on its own? Also, is ur phone the 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max? Cheers!
Same question
Rennline magnet won’t hold it. And it’s a 12 pro max
Very good idea, thanks!
Thanks!
Don’t forget to do a Launch Control too.. :)
And What Samantha down here said 👏🏽
Great video! Where did you get the original ball head mount? Looks metal almost and like it’s clipped in behind the fascia of the head unit? That’s what I’m after, I hate vent clips and want something like what you’ve got or what Proclip does with their products
Thanks. It was made by rennline
Skookum. What’s the diameter of the ball please? Thanks.
Thank you! Mine looks sick
Nice!!!
@@TommyLGarage for sure I will be cutting the cable shorter length and solder the cable back 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
fantastic exactly searched for that
Glad I could help :)
Can you use apple car play with the magsafe
I did the same as you but instead of having the usb plug sticking out of the dash, I took the panel off like you and then also removed the bmw usb connector from the panel and hid it behind. Looks a lot neater now 😄
Good idea !!!
Try Brodit Hoder for MagSafe
Wow that’s a clean way of getting MagSafe wireless charging ! Btw, what’s the name of the first phone holder (the one that grab the phone with arms) ?
Thanks! Sorry no idea. I found it on Amazon but it’s no longer sold
A lot of cars are now coming with wireless charging built it but this is pretty sweet
Thanks!!!
I am working on something like this. The problem with your solution is the output of that USB port. I am going to hardwire a USB-C port behind that same panel and run the USB-C cable behind that panel as well.
Thank you, I am doing this to my 1995 honda civic.
You’ll love it
Nice video, how did your car have the usb port in the hidden compartment?? do you have the video for how the wire run?
It came with my car. Part of executive package. But you can route it to the cigarette lighter
Very good idea but there is few things to consider on
Many of the cars can’t supply 18W over usb port
Also belkins car mount has stronger magnets which is better when there is a speed bump or kind of things
And the last thing is I would never prefer cutting and soldering an mfi certificated cable because it could may cause error message on iPhone and stop charging
I'd love to design a 3D printed MagSafe holder for the car but I haven't gotten it yet
我也這樣改造了，不過我是用磁吸座附的鐵片黏到MagSafe後面，沒有把MagSafe黏死在座上
i dont have a magsafe compatible case so i have to use one of those sticky magnets outside the case and when i use that it wont let me wirelessly charge phone because of the case and the magnet and everything.. i don't understand this magsafe thing. it 80$ for a case really worth it and then a wireless car mount to go with it
Hi, just bought 12 Pro Max today with a speck clear case. Dropped it into my Bezalel Omnia SE charger/mount and here I am on your UA-cam Page. LOL! I wouldn’t say I am tech savvy but I’m not a tech idiot so I’m hoping you can keep things simple for me. I’d prefer not to do any hacks to get my phone charging in my car wirelessly again, so I was wondering what your thoughts were on the Mophie car charger/wireless mount on apple’s site for $40 that will seem to solve all my problems? Thanks!
I prefer apple chargers - safest for my phone.
Great job 👌
Thank you! Cheers! /)
Cool vid dude also if u don't want to cut the cable you can wrap it around the mount base until it's at desired length
Good idea!!
What’s the original product for the hack, that little ball end dash clip is really neat and low profile. No need to slick something to the dash. Thanks guys.
It’s made by Rennline
Great video! I use the Ottie CD mount clamp. Works great
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.
Will it hold the iPhone 14 pro max on bumpy roads?
functionally awesome - just wish the white cable were black
I’m thinking of painting it
This is what I had in mind also I knew it would be possible. Belkin can hit the bricks since they have no interest in charging they said in their faq.
I wish Apple made it. But now I’ve come to find out that hacking it is super easy
Thank you
Hope it helped
your thought process is just like mine.
We are brilliant individuals haha
Absolutely genius!!!
Thank you!
Nice. I have a question. My car has a cigarette socket and a USB-a port. I'm using my lighter socket for my dashcam. But the dashcam plug also has a USB-a port in it. If I use that to plug in MagSafe charger (with a usbc- USB-a adapter), will it charge faster than if I just use the other USB-a port? Or just the same? Thanks
It should be the same
how did it hold on the drive?
Great idea thanks
Glad you liked it!!
Brilliant video. This is exactly what I have done. Just a quick one, does the USB C to A converter not limit the capacity of you cars USB output? Just checking as I’ve been looking to get one for my ANKER 12v car charger? Thanks for the vid, keep it up. *****
Thanks for the love!
@@TommyLGarage Anytime Tommy! Keep it up.
Thank you so much for this video! This is the solution I have been looking for
Thanks!!
Neat. I was really hoping to see you pull out a dremel and embed the charger in the dash somewhere.
Hahaha not with this one
Why dont you use the first charger/car mount (the black one at first of the video)? And can you link this one?
Why did you build your own car mount the first one looks great
I wanted Apple-specific charger
Awesome video.
Thanks!! And thanks for watching.
Great Video thank you
Thanks for watching!
I plan to buy one of those mount with the 3m to put it above my bed.
Now that is an idea !!!
Hey I got a question, I saw that some cars got the wireless pad charging (from factory) and also the apple carplay works with this pad! So mines doest have this, what or it’ll work if I buy a wireless charger and install it in my car using the usb also this usb works as the apple car play what happens is we use this but with a wireless charger? Will it works as a charger and apple car play?
Apple Car Play is part of the car's hardware; you can't get apple car play by simply installing a charger
nice , thank u.
Thanks for watching!
BUT WHERE DO YOU GET THE (SCEW ON ATTATCHMENT) FROM TO SCEW THE BALL HOLDER WITH THE MAGNETIC MOUNT FOR THE PHONE?
I linked it for you
quick question, i have never seen that USB port, maybe it was a LCI thing but do you know how many watts of power that USB outputs?
I believe 10
