Finally Found a Magnetic Phone Mount!

abirmaher · 04-01-2019, 04:02 PM

UPDATE: Hi, so after going back and fourth with the people in China unfortunately the prices they are able to provide aren’t really competitive enough to prices on eBay to make it worth while. As a result the group buy will not be happening but below please find an eBay link to the same item for the cheapest I found around 25 dollars shipped to you.

So after many months of searching I finally found a magnetic phone mount that is out of the way but also in a great place to be able to see my phone. Recently picked one up (see attached photos). This works for 1, 2, 3, 4 series F models (pre and post LCI) that I know of. Please send me a message if you are interested in getting in on this.

Interesting. How does the bracket install?

How would it work? I'm in Toronto Canada. Price is steep for just a piece of formed aluminum with a magnet attached. I like the design but the price is what's making me hesitate.

Doing what I can on price, that's why I'm trying to buy in bulk and ship together). For now just trying to get these to the US so not sure I can help with Canada unfortunately. Sorry about that

I personally would spend a little more money and have a different approach:

http://www2.kudausa.com/kuda_mount_a...-17-3-790.html

This seems more of a clean install & does not get in the way of the vents. Only thing is that the placement of my phone would be lower... Still indecisive at this time.

If only there was a product that is similar to this type of approach for our cars. If it could possibly attach to the back of our 6.5/8.8" nav screen and just stick out to the left of it a little to magnetically mount the phone. This would keep the phone placement in eyes view and prevent me from looking away for navigational use.

That being said I have one of these I never installed and went the route I did instead if anyone wants to buy that lol

I've been using KudaUSA mounts for years, M3, 135i, X3, M240i. Expensive - yes, BMW quality - YES! Also Dirk stands behind his products and he responds immediately. Couldn't say enough good about these. I've had many enthusiasts ask me if it's a BMW installed mount!
