APPS2Car Magnetic CD Phone Holder for Car, Anti-Shake Magnet CD Slot Mount

The APPS2Car Magnetic CD Phone Holder provides an accessible mounting spot by utilizing your vehicle unused CD player slot. Designed for drivers who need clear visibility for navigation without blocking dashboard controls or windshield views, it turns empty dash space into a stable phone dock. It holds standard 4 to 6.8-inch smartphones within easy reach.

Installation relies on an adjustable wing-nut system lined with anti-slip silicone pads. This mechanism expands inside the CD slot to anchor the mount securely without scratching interior surfaces. The magnetic head delivers up to 25Nm of magnetic attraction, ensuring your phone stays attached even during rough rides. A built-in 360-degree ball joint allows you to quickly angle the screen in landscape or portrait orientation for optimal viewing.

Daily operation is straightforward thanks to one-handed magnetic placement. However, this system relies entirely on an included metal plate that must be adhered to the outside of your phone case and left to set for 24 hours before use. Because it requires this plate, it is not designed for direct MagSafe use and is not recommended for larger foldable devices like the Galaxy Z Fold.

Vehicle compatibility is another important factor to verify before purchasing. This mount is not suitable for vehicles with curved, hidden, or deeply recessed CD slots, or slots located too close to the gear shifter. Known incompatible models include the 2013 Ford Escape, Focus ST, 2007 Land Rover LR3, 2011 Lexus IS 250, 2012 Ford Flex, 2014 and 2016 Toyota Highlander, 2015 Toyota RAV4, 2015 Lexus ES 350, 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, 2018 BMW X3, and 2013 GMC Terrain SLE. Additionally, if road vibration causes slight looseness over time, you will need to reinsert the clip and retighten the knob.

Verdict: This mount is a practical choice for drivers with compatible straight CD slots who want strong magnetic holding power and flexible viewing angles. It is best suited for standard smartphones whose users do not mind attaching an external metal plate.

• Use a standard smartphone measuring between 4 and 6.8 inches.
