I would be careful about this. I tried a similar setup in my C63 and it eventually broke the plastic air vent!! Now, I simply keep the phone in my pocket with wireless CarPlay!

Agreed. Unless I am going on a particularly long adventure. It stays in my pocket.
A MagSafe charger would be nice to drop in the center console.,
anyone try any of the new magsafe magnetic holders with their iphone 12/pro on their 992? any recommendations?
I don't like keeping my phone in my pocket and I don't like it in the center console because I forget it is there. The cupholder or storage cubby makes the phone bounce around. I don't need the phone to be accessible, simply want secure storage. I bought and tried the MagSafe vent mount by Belkin but ended up returning it. It held fine but, because of the shape of the mount and the shape of our vents, it doesn't fit particularly well. I ended up putting it on the left most vent but just didn't like it. Additionally, the mount is white and I didn't care for the look of it in my interior. I am waiting for a smaller MagSafe mount by another company but not due until March.

Do you happen to have any pics of this in your car?
I bought one for my wife last August for the car she had then. It worked then in that car and it continues to work flawlessly on her nightstand now that her new car (BMW X5 4.5e) has one as standard equipment.
Bought a thin magnet and used command adhesive strips to affix it to the strip beside the shifter. Then plugged in the MagSafe charger to the 12v and hid the cable between the vent and centre console. Works like a charm

Apologies for being candid, but this made me cringe.
The beautiful design language of the 992 is just simply ruined. The cable is white, the main charging puck is white, the surround is brushed while the 992 interior is mostly piano black and grey.
No offense, the so called magsafe from Apple is just hogwash - the magnetic strength is weak and really not designed for high speed or high G driving. Push the car hard enough, drive over enough bad tarmac and the phone will definitely dislodge.
If a phone is to be mounted, then the only practical clean solution is the Magnum from T-Design9.
First and foremost, this magnet is proven to hold at speed and high Gs.
The color tones also match the 992 better.
The mount can be easily slotted anywhere, if not the magnet can be separated from the mount and just easily double sided anywhere.
Sure, this doesn't have wireless charging. But give it sufficient time, T-Design9 may come out with one for the 992.
Whatabout power now? Run a black braided lightning cable, tuck it under the center console and it will look alot more cleaner and integrated.

when the phone is on you can’t really see anything but that didn’t stop me from
finding an all black version of this which is on order and will be even less visible and still get the job done. What I like about this is that the MagSafe can be removed and the magnet underneath holds very well. Either way I’ve got something from zeerawireless.com coming in a day or 2.
That said, if I couldn’t find it in black I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. I happened to stumble over the black MagSafe (zebra) so I ordered it.
btw the MagSafe holds plenty strong without issue. When I’m at the track my phone is not mounted anyways and if it is it’s clipped to the windshield recording track videos.

sorry, I took no pictures and it was returned to Apple. It’s large, almost as large as the phone. On the center vents it can only be mounted horizontally. I just didn’t like the looks although it worked fine.

I've been looking for a mount for my iPhone 12 and came across these same mounts from Moment. They are also making a basic surface mount that seems like it would be perfect mounted to the left or right of the PDK shifter on the black piano surface. Nice and clean and less of a chance of the phone falling off the vent mount or tweaking the vent plastic. https://www.shopmoment.com/products/...t-for-magsafe/
