Customer Ratings & Reviews

The dash of my car is curved so I have the phone holder installed using the suction cup on my windshield. The magnet to hold the phone is strong yet releases easily when I pull on it. The suction cup has held well in temperatures of 90°. It has not yet gone through a winter so I don’t know how it will hold in the cold, but suspect it will be fine.

Super strong magnet and the wireless charging capability is outstanding. Definitely would recommend this product.

This magnetic wireless (phone to base) has been great. The magnet is strong and the overall unit is light weight. Has plenty of cord even for wider vehicles.

Mount Holds phone firmly especially when going down dirt roads with little to no movement! It also keeps the phone charged

I had high hopes for this device because I have a windshield gooseneck mount that I planned to combine with this for the ultimate wireless charging set up for when I go to the drag strip in my 2018 Infiniti Q50 AWD Twin Turbo 3L V6. However, I ran into multiple issues with this particular product. All of which are related to the product itself & not how I meshed the gooseneck mount with this product. I'll get into the issues fully down below. The installation of this device was really straightforward and easy. The device holds into place really well & doesn't move when it is on it's original base as the arm is really stiff, which is nice & is something that other similar products I have had actually failed at miserably. So that was really nice & so it is a testament to the overall quality of the product. However, and this is a big however, the cover which goes over the charging disc & the magnets popped off & allowed my phone to fall. I saw that it looked like it was held on my a super thin double-sided sticky tape. You can actually confirm this by pushing on the disc-shaped charger and hearing it pop in and pop out. I can foresee this failing miserably when left in a hot vehicle because the tape will heat up, lose it's grip and allow it to fall off just like it did in my vehicle. Next, I was having intermittent issues where my phone would randomly not wirelessly charge. The included 12v DC to USB-C adapter has no LEDs or other indications of power and so it became impossible to tell if I actually had power coming out of the socket in my car. I tried it in our 2020 Civic Sport Coupe and had the same issues, so it wasn't the socket of my vehicle. I actually went to a different big box retail store in order to get a 12v DC socket to USB-C adapter that had an LED indicator when it had power and I was able to get power every time, all the time with it. So the included 12v DC to USB-C adapter is just plain awful and will have to be replaced. To fix the previously mentioned falling out of the cover and causing my phone to fail I actually used super glue around the edges to glue it together & it has not fallen out or off since. I wanted to love this device because I need to have the gauges that are on the tuning app for my car visible to me when I am at the drag strip, and I wanted to utilize this for wireless CarPlay while also keeping my phone charged. And while I do like it, I just could not get over the issues I was having. The manufacturer did send me a replacement device because they thought I got a defective one but even this one is having the same issues as the first/original one. So that means I will be replacing the 12v DC to USB-C adapter as well as gluing the MagSafe cover that I know will eventually fall off/out. It hasn't yet but I know it will because it is already doing the popping in and out thing when you press on the area which is what the first one did before it completely popped out & wouldn't stay in. The Good: 1. Wireless Charging 2. Positionable 3. Mount Arm is high quality The Bad: 1. Included 12V DC to USB-C Adapter has no indication of power 2. Included 12V DC to USB-C Adapter would only intermittently work The Ugly: 1. Replaced 12V DC to USB-C adapter with a better quality one that always works 100% of the time; replacing was absolutely necessary to make this device work as intended. 2. Had to glue the MagSafe cover because the factory double-sided sticky tape would NOT hold it in place & my phone would fall 3. Replacement device from the manufacturer is experiencing the same issues as the first one In closing, if you are in a pinch and want to give this a try, by all means give it a shot, but be ready to replace the 12V DC to USB-C adapter & ready to super glue the MagSafe cover onto the device permanently-both out of your own pocket. And so this goes from a relatively inexpensive and cost effective solution into the range of higher priced models that don't have this blatant design & quality problems.

This is a very good dashboard and windshield car mount. My old one had a MagSafe ability and wanted the same for my smart phone. This one by iOttie is very good at the MagSafe portion but I did notice some limitations on this. First off, this is a very solid build With 2 two hinges, you are able to adjust the height and can rotate the neck area for your phone. The neck can extend but it is very short, a few extra inches of extension which is a little disappointing. The hinges can be tightened which prevents it from accidentally dropping or moving. The charging ability is a very nice addition to this. It connects via usb-c cord. As most vehicles these days have a usb-c port, this is almost a must when using. If the vehicle does not have that IO option, this comes with a plug in for the auxiliary power outlet. It charges fast but I have noticed my phone getting a little warm. Only when I absolutely need to charge it or connect it to my car’s infotainment system for hands free would I use it. Suction ability is where I feel this does fall a little short. It comes with the ability to mount on the dash or on the windshield. For the dash set up, it has a flat disk that you install first. You do need to leave it on the dash for about 20 minutes first and allow the adhesive strip to really bond with the dash before it becomes effective. I made the mistake of not doing it too long, and when I tried to stick the mount, it feel down. You also need to be aware of where you install it on the dashboard as most dashes are not completely flat, so you have to find that flat spot. Mine was located near the middle behind the info center on my minivan so I do have to make a reach to use it. Thus, I wish the neck extended a few more inches than the current maximum. After waiting 20 minutes and retried it, it worked really well. The window installation is really simple and effortless and hangs well. Overall, this is a very good car mount for your smart phone. I do wish that the next extended more since most vehicles have odd shaped windshields and dashboards. I like the charging ability on this but it does warm up my phone. It works well and I am happy for that.

I’m one of those people who’ve been going around without a phone mount in my vehicle, which meant balancing the phone on my leg when using the GPS. The new iOttie Velox car mount is the one that finally changed my ways. The Velox I got is carbon black, and looks very sleek. In the box you’ll find the mount, a car power adapter with USB-C port, and an adhesive pad to use for protecting the dashboard. The Velox can be mounted either on the dashboard or the windshield. Either way, it attaches using a very secure suction mechanism, assisted by stickiness on the suction cup. Attaching the Mount I wanted the phone to be visible, but didn’t want to obstruct my view of the road. That meant attaching it to the windshield on the left side of the steering wheel. I’ve seen people mount theirs in the middle of the windshield, but I just can’t understand blocking the view that much. Attaching the mount is very easy—just clean the chosen spot, flip up the suction cup lever, put the mount where you want it, then close the lever to secure the suction cup to the windshield. Mounting it this way is very secure. I had to move mine a few times to get into just the right location, and it wasn’t hard, but the removable adhesive actually adds a lot of strength to the grip. It does this while not leaving any residue on the glass—impressive! The phone is held to the mount by the Qi2 charging magnet. Simply line up the magnetic circle on the back of the phone with the round mount, and it snaps into place. This is very convenient for mounting and unmounting the phone as needed. The magnet seems pretty strong, but not overly so. I was concerned that hitting a bump might jar it loose, but that hasn’t happened to me yet. I have an iPhone, so the magnet lined up perfectly with my phone. I assume this would work equally well with other phones utilizing the Qi2 charging standard, as long as the magnets line up. I appreciate that the mounting magnet is covered in a soft silicone material so that it won’t scratch the phone. Charging The Velox is not just a phone holder it’s also a wireless Qi2 charger. I didn’t have the previous model, but I read that some people thought it was underpowered. This model delivers up to 15W, which is plenty to charge up an iPhone while driving around town. I have a pickup truck with its own built-in wireless charging pad, but it’s so underpowered that I never use it. With the Velox, I finally have a wireless charging pad in my vehicle that actually works! The Velox comes with a USB-C power adapter, so the power cable must be routed to the adapter. In my chosen location, it was pretty easy to route the cable behind the weather stripping in my door, then under the steering wheel to reach the center console. Other than a right turn under the dash, this was a direct route, but the 1.5 foot-long cable was too short. This is the only real negative that I encountered, and it required me to purchase an extension cable to make it work. For those mounting in the center of the dash/windshield, this cable length will likely be enough, but I don’t think my situation is unusual, so I wish that iOttie had included a longer cable. One thing to note is that the power cable is not removable, so you can’t choose to just use the mount as a phone holder. Of course, you don’t always have to keep it plugged in to power, but it might have been nice to have the choice to unplug if so desired. The power adapter was a little bit finicky, and needed to be seated just right to make it work. Once seated, however, it stays securely in place, so I don’t think this will be a problem. Charging is fast and easy, and the phone gets hot while charging, just like with any wireless charger. The magnet mount does include ventilation holes, which is good because mounting near the windshield like I did can put the phone in the sunshine, which will add to the heat produced by the charger. Something to keep in mind. Conclusion I’ve had other iOttie mounts (not with chargers), but this one is my favorite. I started my review saying that I didn’t have a mount, which is true because my previous mount stays in a drawer in my house. The new Velox will stay permanently in my truck, as the new location for my phone while driving. I can be confident that it will hold my phone securely and charge it without my having to fish out a charging cable that will only get in my way. The Velox is a great option if you’re in the market for a mount plus charger, and iOttie priced this new one at the same price as their other similar models.

The first thing you'll notice about the iOttie Velox Qi2 is its sleek and modern design. The mount feels solid, with premium materials that give it a high-end look and feel. The design is compact, ensuring it doesn't obstruct your view, whether mounted on the dashboard or the windshield. The suction cup is powerful and ensures that the mount stays firmly in place, even on bumpy roads. This has always been the key feature for me when I look for a car phone mount, as in the past I’ve bought mounts that did not hold tightly and would fall down; this was especially true of the mounts that relied on placement within the car’s dashboard air vents. One of the standout features of the Velox Qi2 is its wireless charging capability. With Qi2 technology, it delivers fast and efficient charging to compatible devices. No more fumbling with charging cables while driving—just place your phone on the mount, and it starts charging instantly. The charging power is consistent and reliable, making sure your phone is juiced up when you reach your destination. Installation is a breeze. The suction cup adheres strongly to both the dashboard and windshield, and the mount arm is fully adjustable, allowing you to find the perfect viewing angle. The magnetic mounting system is strong enough to hold your phone securely, yet easy to attach and detach with one hand. This is particularly useful for those quick stops or when you're in a hurry. With the iPhone 14 model I tested, the MagSafe case I used with it was able to securely be mounted to the Velox Qi2. The Velox Qi2 is compatible with a wide range of devices, including the latest smartphones equipped with wireless charging capabilities. It’s designed to work seamlessly with most phone cases, so you don’t have to remove your case every time you mount your phone. Safety is a priority, and the iOttie Velox Qi2 doesn’t disappoint. The mount ensures your phone is securely fastened, reducing the risk of it falling or sliding around, which can be a distraction while driving. The adjustable arm and 360-degree rotation allow for optimal placement, ensuring your phone is always within reach but never in the way. While the iOttie Velox Qi2 is nearly flawless, a couple of minor points could be noted. Users with very thick phone cases may find the magnetic hold slightly less secure or not hold at all, but this is a common issue with most magnetic mounts. The iOttie Velox Qi2 Wireless Dashboard & Windshield Car Mount is a top-tier product that delivers on all fronts—design, functionality, and ease of use. Its robust construction, strong magnetic hold, and efficient wireless charging make it a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their driving experience.

I'm actually getting this Velox Mini Qi2 wireless charger for passenger use.  My wife and I both have iPhones and take numerous long trips. I thought I'd surprise her with her own wireless charging station.  I actually have been using the iOttie Qi2 Wireless vent mount for quite some time now.  I liked it so much I thought I'd get another, but not another vent mount. For her I wanted a dash or windshield mount (ultimately let her choose).  We both use our phones with simple clear MagSafe compatible cases, Having used the iOttie MagSafe charger for some time now, I know the magnetic holding force is strong enough to be used with the cases we use.  I first set up the dash mount indoors to verify it would do the trick before final car installation.  The mount comes with a flat mounting plate for dash use (even if your dash is flat).  It also has a washable sticky suction cup (think nano tape), that has superb adherence on its own, add the suction cup and it is an extra strong hold.  The neck of the phone holder and also be extended out an additional 2" (the shaft is 3" long).  This flexibility should assist in tricky mounting situations or if you have a large windshield (truck).   The Qi2 chargers supply 15W of wireless charging, meaning they charge twice as fast as the original Qi chargers (7.5W).  This Dash/Windshield mount is quite clever. The Qi2 charging pad is a soft rubber, the back can be turned about +/-40 degrees, and then locked in place (this allows the cord to go any direction).  The base also swivels and locks in place.  The suction cup is controlled by lifting the fount up, and pressing it down (it takes some force to get to lock).  But once in place it is very stable.  The charger required a USB-C port (a USB-A to C adapter can be used to convert - not supplied).  The charger works very well, but the phone does get warm when charging.  But now I've simplified our long trips by having a second wireless charging point.  Ready to hit the road.

Overall, I like this window/dash mount for my iphone. I connected it to my windshield, and it stayed in place even over bumpy roads. The phone also stayed connected as the magnate is pretty strong. They also included a dashboard pad mount. I opted against using this as I do not like sticking things to my dashboard for fear of messing it up, but it's nice that its included. The mount is also very customizable and adjust in multiply ways. The arm adjustment is a little tough and you have to really unscrew it to make it easier to adjust. Not a bad thing as the arm did not move while driving making it easier to see and use the phone. Charging works great and charged my phone pretty quickly using the included cigarette lighter adapter. I'm going to be nitpicky but I dislike that the cable cannot be removed and is hardwired to the charging base. I think it would have been better if it had a USB connection so you could unplug it if needed. Secondly the cable just dangles down from the charging pad. It would have been nicer looking if the cable ran through the adjustable arm and came out the bottom back of the holder. I also use this holder for my desk. The suction cup sticks to my desk and I'm able to plug it into a charging block or into my computer and have my phone charge. So, it's not just necessarily for your car but can also function to hold your phone at your desk. Nice device that works well and will be great for travel as it can charge the phone, mount to a desk, or mount to a windshield of a car.

This iOttie Velox Qi2 car mount is fantastic, it holds my phone rock solid on the dashboard and charges quickly while driving. The suction mount stays completely secure even on bumpy roads, and the magnetic alignment makes it super easy to snap the phone on and off with one hand. The build quality feels premium and sleek. Highly recommended if you want hassle free charging and mounting!

👍 THE GOOD: ▪️ Works on either Windshield glass or Dashboard ▪️ Setup is easy, instructions are clear on the included booklet. ▪️ Dashboard pad is included so you don’t damage your dashboard ▪️ Sturdy rigid design means it isn’t going to wobble. ▪️ Strong magnet so your phone shouldn’t fall off as long as you’re using MagSafe / Qi2 supported devices. ▪️ Telescoping arm + 260 degree arc + ball joint means extra versatility for mounting. ▪️ Included USB-C Car charger ▪️ 15W Charging 👎 NOT SO GOOD: ▪️ Mildly inconvenient but necessary: if using dashboard pad, must wait 20 minutes before installing the mount for best reliability. ▪️ Rotating the arm across the arc is a bit difficult. ▪️ Charging cable is integrated, so it’s non-replaceable. 🧐 OVERALL The iOttie Velox Qi2 is a good MagSafe & Qi2 compatible car mount. The durable design ensures that it doesn’t wobble, and it provides versatile mounting options for windshields and dashboards. And with a peak power of 15W, it’ll keep your phone charged while secure.

My old car phone mount finally gave out on me after years of abuse and the new iOttie Velox Qi2 wireless dashboard and windshield car mount for mobile devices was a welcome upgrade compared to the old faithful phone mount I previously had in my truck. With the new Velox, it even has the additional feature of being able to wirelessly charge my phone without plugging it in using the latest Qi2 technology that works with both my Qi2 enabled Android phone and my wife’s Magsafe Apple phone. With that new technology comes up to 15 watts of charging power which is great for wireless charging however still not up to wired charging tech but still gets the job done. Since my truck, along with most other trucks and SUVs, has a large dash and windshield that makes it difficult to find a compatible phone mount where you can actually reach your device, the Velox offers a telescopic arm that can extend from 4” to 6.75” that can also rotate for easy adjustments after mounting with a ball joint on the end for even more slight tilts which makes it handy for those pesky sun glares. If you’re a fan of doing a dash mount instead, the Velox also comes with a dashboard pad you can stick to most level surfaces. The reusable suction cup at the base of the mount is super sticky so you know it will remain in place regardless of how good of a seal you get. There are also ventilation holes on the mount that help cool the mount in hot cars which is another great feature since I live in an area that can reach over 100 degrees for several days throughout the summer. Overall I have been impressed with the mount thus far and hopefully it holds out as long as my previous, non-charging, phone mount.

So far I have found many things I like about this magnetic wireless phone car charger. I have compared it to many "generic" magnetic phone mounts, and it does have a higher quality feel to it. It comes with a telescoping arm with a suction cup. It features three points of articulation which makes it very versatile when mounting to your windshield. The suction cup also features a very sticky surface that helps keep it on your windshield without falling off. The only downside to it is that relocating it is very difficult. The magnetic charging element has a built in cable with a USB type C end that connects to an in included DC charging adapter for your vehicle. This is nice as most generic chargers include a cable but not the charging adapter. After only a few days of use, the adapter literally fell apart when I tried to unplug it from the car's socket for the first time. It fell apart really bad too, see my included photo. The only good thing is that I have several car adapters that I can plug this into so I was able to continue to use it. The magnetic mount itself is very strong, much stronger than it's generic counterparts. My phone never came off it, regardless of bumps. I even took it on a nine hour each way road trip. It charges the phone perfectly, even while using my maps for navigation. Overall, the phone charger works very well, however the adapter is very cheap and fell apart. I still think it was worth picking up as it outperformed all of my generic magnetic phone chargers for my car.

Ok. Wireless car chargers are nothing new. So what does the Velox Mini Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Charger offer which other chargers before it offer? Well, there are several things that the Velox can offer prior to its predecessors. First is the charging capability. Most early magnetic wireless chargers have rating of 5 watts. That is very slow by today’s standard. Of it naturally followed suit that a 10 watt charger would be the norm. But these technologies tend to overheat. Then years later Velox comes out with a 15 watt charger. And after using it for a week, I have noticed that charging speeds were more of acceptable levels though the baseline is for 20 watts or higher for iPhones. Next would be the margnetic capanilities of this charger. And though this is not labelled as MagSafe compatible, it is in fact compatible. I am guessing legal issues are being considered here. But what engages me most is that the magnetic strength of this charger. Even with a thick case, the magnetic strength is strong enough to hold my phone without falling everytime I hit a speed bump. My old wireless charger does that. Design wise there not much to btag about as it is shaped as your usual wireless magnetic charger with suction cup. One thing to note though is that its arm is extendable making the view angles way better. I can’t much more about this charger but to give it high praises. I would recommend this definitley.

Easy installation and an effective Magsafe charger for IOS devices. The Qi2 comes with two options for mounting. You can use the suction cup and attach directly to the windshield, or, if you are in a similar situation as me, where the windshield is too sloped and far away to use as a mounting point, you can use the included base mount with 3M tape, stick it to the dash, and then use the suction cup to attach the Qi2 to it. The suction cup is quite strong. After I attached the adhesive base to the dash and then attached the suction cup to it, I had no issues with it falling off. Even on bumpy roads the iPhone stayed attached without any problems. Charging works good on it. I haven’t had any issues with the Qi2, it has functioned perfectly and makes it easy to have my iPhone right up at eye level on the dash and I can view the screen while driving around. The cord is plenty long, and has a cigarette lighter adapter. The Qi2 looks really nice, works well, and charges my phone without a problem. Highly recommended.

IOttie makes some high quality 3rd party smart phone peripherals. I already have a MagSafe phone and AirPods charger from them and it works great with my iPhone 15 Pro Max so I definitely jumped wanted to check out their car mount. The mount itself is high quality and works as you would expect. There’s an adhesive backed mounting plate that attaches to the top of your dash, a suction base and arm, and a magnetic gimbal with the usb-c Qi2 charging pad. The charging pad is soft and won’t scuff your phone if you don’t have a case and if you do have a case the magnet and charging elements are strong enough to still be effective. To install, just loosen the twist knob on the gimbal to attach it to the ball head on the base, then tighten it to the tension you need. You can fix the head position or give it some room to twist around and adjust. For my car, the top of the dash had a visor lip that slopes up so I couldn’t use the adhesive base unfortunately so I had to use the suction cup directly to the windshield. Loosen the tab on the base then click into place to suction on the window after cleaning it with Windex or rubbing alcohol. This results in a solid connection but I think over time it will get loose with weather changes so you will want to reattach it before your phone falls off. There is a nice rubberized usb-c to usb-c cable from the Qi-2 charging pad, so it’s not quite wireless. It is wireless to the phone but you have to route and conceal the wire down your dash to your plug. I only have usb-a ports near my dash and no 120v so I won’t get full charging speed of Qi2. The fix is easy enough just get a usb-a to usb-c plug adapter. It would’ve been nice if they included this but I already had a few so no biggy. It also comes with a nice sleek looking 120v cigarette to usb-c adapter but as mentioned I don’t have a 120v port near my dash. Overall this is great even though I have CarPlay in my car, I still like to see the phone mounted and it’s also nice for my wife for long road trips. Highly recommend!

Charging speed is fast and has excellent magnet strength. Easy to place on 2013 mustang dash. Adjustable arm makes it easy to fit properly and out of view in windshield.

It looks nice but every single time I plug the cord into my fast charge it tells me my sd card has been removed. So I’m assuming it’s drawing too much juice. But it holds my phone well..

The iOttie Velox Qi2 charging mount is a nice strurdy design that offers customization and works for both a dash mount and in a windshield. The arm articulates slightly and extends so you can make it fit your viewing space pretty well, without being one of those flimsy bendable mounts that always shake around quite a bit. As a Qi2 charger it's capable of charging Apple's MagSafe compatible iPhones at 15W and any new Android phones that eventually support this standard. I used an iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone SE 2nd gen, and Galaxy S22 Ultra with this mount. With the iPhone 13 Pro, MagSafe got a very strong hold and I wouldn't hesitate to use this mount in the car. For the other devices, MagSafe isn't natively supported but I wanted to get an idea of the charging speeds. The iPhone SE 2nd gen maxed out at 7.5W charging speed (pulling 10W from the charging port) while my S22 Ultra could only manage a disappointing 5W (pulling 6.8W from the port). I've read this is an issue for Samsung devices on Qi2 chargers - they only support the lowest Qi2 profile so that's all you can get. So, using the iOttie Velox Qi2 with a MagSafe 'sticker' or case is only an option if you are ok with very slow charging speeds. The only major issue I have with the product is the strange design of the 12v adapter (cigarette lighter plug). It's got a wider, shorter nub on the end than you'd typically see. It didn't work in one of the ports I tried, no matter how much I twisted it around or pushed on it to see if it would power up. Didn't really matter because I have plenty of USB-C cig lighter plugs that work fine for this purpose and I imagine lots of people do as well. I'll include a pic with the review. #Final thoughts: who is this for?# If you've got a recent iPhone model that supports MagSafe, this is a perfect choice. For Android fans, you'll need to wait for Qi2 compatibility to come to phones before I would consider this as an option. Hopefully that will be a big thing by early next year as the big flagship phones from this summer don't have it.
