Review on πŸ“± LICHIFIT Car Air Vent Outlet Mount Phone Holder with 360Β° Rotary Swivel, Magnetic Cradle for Audi A3 / S3 by Adam Hardy

This mount for A3

I make magnetic mounts. In previous cars I've used a bracket that attaches to the dashboard vent louvers for many years - simple, secure and adjustable. Then I bought a 2020 Audi A3. And while those round vents are very cool, they don't lend themselves to traditional mounting holes. I tried the strong adhesive mount, but another factor in the A3's cool interior design - the compact, artfully curved dashboard - prevented me from finding a comfortable and secure spot. Then I saw the vent mounts on the Revain and bought these. I was not disappointed. First, the build quality is extremely high. The wings on either side of the mount are made of durable anodized aluminum. The adjustable stainless steel ball is also quite heavy and doesn't wobble. I attached the ball to the magnet mount with the screw provided and added some Loctite as the mount would need to be removed if the screw needed to be re-tightened. Installing the fenders was a bit risky at first as there were no instructions included. But I gently (albeit with some force) pushed one of the vent rings back about half an inch until, with the other side already in, I could slide the wing underneath and then slide the ring back. Once installed, this suction cup stays there for a long time. Nice and tight. Location and adjustability are perfect. Perhaps the best part, though, is how aesthetically the mount is integrated. It really looks like it could be an OEM setup. Black anodized aluminum, chrome, Bauhaus style mounting wings all fit in the package. As far as a Chinese addition to a $20 Audi cabin goes, it looks and feels like it belongs there.

Pros
  • can be securely attached to the car air vent for convenient use and safe driving without holding your phone.
Cons
  • No power
