If only the magnet worked better

The range seems great. I couldn't test it because the magnet didn't hold. At first I forgot it was up there, so I accelerated quickly while hopping onto the freeway. When I reached 50 km/h, it had fallen off. I tried again, with much slower acceleration, and at 50 mph it dangled again. It looks cool and it's small so I liked it. But the purpose of the magnetic mount is to securely attach it to your car, which it doesn't, which is why it gets 2 stars from me.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Ok, but...
