Thanks for the referral. Pricy but worth for something well made by a small shop. Also worth it because it's a simple mode that will get tons of useage every time driven. I went with the magnetic route since I don't wireless charge.
- fully removable
- well integrated into Dash and doesn't look out of place when i leave phone in my pocket.

Thanks for sharing a pic of the magnetic model. I assume you had to add a plate on the back of your phone? or is it Magsafe compatible? Would you mind posting an upclose pic of the finish of the magnetic puck itself? I noticed in your picture and the product picture that they make it seem almost like it's worn out, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. I've been looking into going the route of a Rennline mount with a Magsafe 17mm ball adapter, but I'm not entirely sure which model I can retrofit to work in our cars.

Went to the garage to take a few pics. It's around 56mm diameter. I'm not an apple buy so not sure if this is magsafe compatible. Next time i have somebody with an iphone i'll ask them to test it out.

It's got a stylish greyish design under a very thick gelcap sticker. Under normal lighting it blends nice with black of the interior. Without the LED dome lights shining it's almost fully black.

Oh wow! The puck actually looks realllyyyyy good up close! I’m going to see if I can contact the seller to ask about MagSafe compatibility. What was the turn around time on it? Thanks for sharing pictures

That's a phone holder? It looks awesome!

I guess I'll have to figure out if my S22 Ultra will work with that. Would be really nice to have. I have a thick case that holds some credit cards so mycase might not let it work.

Installed FiTCAMX today. Easiest dash cam install I ever did These Japanese car panels are so easy to remove and put back, compared to the Euro panels, in my experience.

The first service? Like, the very first one? You are probably fine. There's no fluid change going on with that, just inspections and such.

For the US, we have a service at 1000 miles and another at 5000 miles. The 5000-mile guy is the first oil change.
