Looking for the proper phone mount

Hey everybody, I’m just wondering what you all are using for a phone mount. I’m used to using air vent mounts in my previous bimmers, but given the hidden design of the vents with the new 5 series, I am unsure of what direction to go. Any recommendations? (preferably with MagSafe)

Sorry, I just place my phone on the charging tray.

However, I remember seeing a thread about phone mounts. Make sure you search the forum here for past posts in that thread.

I bought this one on Amazon, and I love it because it auto clamps, can be rotated vertical or horizontal, and charges the phone as well. It comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable, but I installed it with a USB-C to USB-C. It does take up a cup holder, so I plugged into the USB-C by the assigned holder:

APPS2Car Dual Coil Wireless Car Charger Auto Clamping 15W Cup Holder Phone Mount Wireless Charger Fast Charge Tri-Pivots Height Adjustable Phone Holder Car Truck for iPhone 16 15 14 13 Samsung LG etc.

But I saw this one on Amazon yesterday:

Car Phone Holder for BMW 5 Series G60 2024 2025+Centre Console Air Vent Rotatable Fixed Mobile Phone Mount Holder for Car Fit for iPhone Android and Universally Smartphones (Style A)

It does clamp on the air vent, but does not charge the phone, and does not auto-clamp.

Here is the post I was trying to remember. You can check those out, but I don't have any experience with them. Another forum member really likes them.

There are air vents on the G60, they are narrow though. Looks like you can mount to them

Look at ProClip. I’ve installed one on my 550e.

Very pleased.
