  1. LeroyM

    Like both the dash mount and the lower fan area mount.
    Tricky but okay. Small minor thing cause of vibration and road travel sometimes things loosen up have to reset etc…

  2. TimothyL

    Absolute garbage. Does not do anything that it claims. Would not stand on it’s own without falling over. When I plugges it in it just repeatedly blinked b-t & no matter what I pushed I could not get it to change. It would not charge while it was plugged in. If I had the chance to go back & not buy this I definitely would not buy this.

  3. Trey00059

    Mine broke where the suction cup is. The plastic part for the tongue broke now i cant mount it on my dash or in my window

  4. julian

    Does what is says it does.
    If your radio doesnt have a open station it comes with an aux

  5. rtrock

    Did what it said, still not easy to use while driving.

  6. LarryK

    Good product. Was hard to make it stick to my days by eventually it did and I need the jaws of life to remove it.

  7. Lion

    Bought this to do lyft and is was an easy installation. I love this product.

  8. JoeJ

    Don’t buy it. Super breakable and Car and Driver can eat a bag of crap. Overpriced plastic junk.

  9. BestBuyFan

    i am returning it. not sticking not stable while driving it came off.

  10. KoreyB

    Great quality! Securely holds phone and the FM transmitter is strong. Only had one station overpower it on a 12 hour drive.

    Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I can’t change what station it transmits. It would be nice to transmit on a different channel when a local radio station does overpower it.

  11. RobertS

    Good item works well use on trip to Az would tell anyone that it work well

  12. MariaA

    This item is expensive and is completely trash! Only lasted one week and got broken and no longer sticks in my car. I do not recommend it! Waste of money

  13. MarkH

    This product is garbage do not buy. Does not stay where its placed, keep falling off. Nothing featured on this product works. Absolute garbage.

  14. SandraR

    Works great!! Easy to install. Overall a good product

  15. Chris1

    Durability is great. Easy to use. Hard plastic wont break.

  16. TimD

    The unit works well although it did come off the winshield a couple of times.

  17. BigMike

    It is excellent! Driving for Uber and Lyft, this Mount has come in handy in the best of ways!

  18. BrentonA

    Great item! Works exactly how it portrayed, charges my phone well. Grips on to either the dash or window very well! Easy to take in and out of the phone holder as well!

  19. NathanS

    I succion cupped this on my dash day one and its been there for the past couple months no problems. I use the s22 + with an otterbox. It fits fine. Ive noticed with the weight of my phone and the bumps on the road the two joints/knuckles tend to loosten but orherwise it works great.

  20. VeralouiseD

    This broke as soon as we put it together on the dashboard.

  21. Watsup48

    Really nice product at a great price.
    I was a bit skeptical about the “vivid voice technology” but it really works amazing even with all the windows rolled down there’s no issue having a phone call everything is crystal clear it’s pretty amazing. Quality of the mount itself is near some of the top brands in this category but either very reasonable price overall I’m very happy and satisfied. Just purchased a second one for my wife’s car. I also love the fact that they give you all the accessories needed for every combination really thought out.

  22. Esteban

    Works great I was presently surprised with its functionality and sleekness

  23. JosephW

    this was easy to hookup and the sound is louder if going .thu auxilury input. it connects to my phone almost immediately when vehicle is turned on

  24. FernandaA

    This item is easy to isntall great quality! Doesnt fall off with the Texas heat. I recommend this aux phone charger music player and phone holder.

  25. Angela

    Very poor not good quality it didn’t stick so I could retire because I waited too long

  26. Snarky89

    Got this for my 2007 vehicle and it was on sale at the time so I gave it a try. Works great and easy setup.

  27. Thomas

    Not easy to set up and it didn’t work as expected.

  28. SamuelO

    Very simple to set up in the car. Phone stays in place even on bumpy roads. Has Bluetooth or wired connection to car radio,.

  29. Sharibari

    Does not work well in a black hot car, the mount flops down at tightest setting and the phone faces the floor.

  30. JoseP

    Works perfect. Aux is the best option. Highly recommend.

  31. Kingrc16

    Pictures seem to show that this item can charge your phone wireless but it doesn’t you have to still plug it in

  32. DiegoC

    Keep falling from the dash, i did use both supports and none of them work, and i use an iphone mini.

  33. OshaneN

    Not what the pictures entail. Picture show that it can wireless charge and it can’t , but I did read the description so I guess am to be blame but must of all that picture is misleading

  34. JerlineB

    The product broke after two weeks. It Waste of $ 35.

  35. Dadof5

    Works great. Exacty what I needed to stop being a distracted driver.

  36. Dafaunz5545

    This holder is kinda floppy sometimes. But for the most part it functions as it should.

  37. JeremyG

    So far so good! Works as advertised. Recommend it!

  38. DennisN

    works pretty well. Not getting much volume through truck radio

  39. TatianaDa

    Honestly super pricey, Feels cheap but the bass improver really does help. and a lot of wires shown so get it if it doesnt bother u.

  40. JoseB

    It’s an easy to use item, it’s very useful and I think it’s of good quality

  41. NikkiR

    Amazing suction cup holds my heavy iPhone 14 plus with otterbox perfectly and Bluetooth function works great

  42. KalKal

    suction reliability could’ve had better adhesive but it works. vent clip wasnt as steady as id have liked, phone would take the whole thing down on some turns or potholes…

  43. Scottj

    The app worked as one would expect a phone mount to work

  44. timK

    works great, no problems, wish it would be cheaper

  45. Headset

    Nice idea with everything included just doesn’t have good sound quality when you make a phone call through the device

  46. Daunt

    Bought this to help with seeing the gps while driving and also to listen to music. Would recommend this

  47. Tommy7

    Product workwd like a charm. Gave me functionality in an older vehicle for a low price

  48. SilviaK

    Easy to install and its being working fine ! The employee was very helpful !

  49. HenryG

    I don’t have any use for the FM transmitter but the build quality and ease of use is perfect.
