Default $7 phone mount




so had some pretty low expectations on this but needed something quickly and didn’t want to drop $50 on the Porsche one.

Working alright so far, wish the magnets were stronger but works as it should.

as you might know the vents on the 997 point downward so it’s difficult to find a pure vent magnet mount - this one has a clip that acts as a backdrop against the top internal part of the vent so when the phone is mounted it’s almost perfectly flush.

only thing I’m worried about is that it puts pressure on the vent slats, we’ll see how it holds up over time.

you can search “vent mount“ on eBay and find them for under $7 shipped.

In my view that blocks a main vent and I would not be surprised if soon it will cause the vent slats to rattle.

Bought this mount for my daughters car. The magnet worked great, but the clamp broke after a few months. Bought from a Chinese website for a few dollars. Did not use in a Porsche.
