Somehow the old guard boring car vehicle brands, not GM - maybe not any American brand, are becoming desire brands/models. At worst, never sign up for a car subscription and teach the younger ones that haven't experienced a car phone mount. They're better today than in the past. Instead of finagling with clips, they have magnets
The magnets fried my gps one time
No.
Must be a coincidence. Everytime I mounted my phone it would get a fucked up reading on maps. My pixel doesnt have the issue but my samsung from years ago did.
Coincidence. Your phone has multiple magnets in it already.
Yeah I didnt think it was poor tech just dodgy magnet strength or me placing the patch in a bad spot
My Pixel's case has some pretty strong magsafe-compatible magnets. No issues in almost two years.
