How easy is the installation process?

Installation is generally straightforward and designed for DIY enthusiasts. The mounts offer video instructions on their listings and typically require basic hand tools for installation. Most mounts are designed to fit into existing dashboard or vent spaces without the need for drilling or permanent modifications.

Do Course Motorsports Phone Mounts support wireless charging?

Some Course Motorsports mounts can support wireless charging, but you may need to purchase an additional wireless charging accessory. The basic mounts are generally designed to securely hold your phone, with wireless charging being an optional upgrade.

Are Course Motorsports Phone Mounts magnetic or clamp-based?

Course Motorsports offers both magnetic and clamp-based mounts. Magnetic mounts use strong magnets to securely hold your phone, while clamp-based mounts physically grip the phone on the sides. The choice depends on your preference, with magnetic mounts offering faster one-hand operation and clamp-based ones providing extra security.

Is the mount compatible with specific phone brands?

Course Motorsports mounts are designed to be universally compatible with most smartphones, including popular brands like iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel, and others. As long as your phone falls within a reasonable size range, it should work well with their mounts.

Is it possible to adjust the phone's angle once mounted?

Yes, most Course Motorsports mounts offer adjustable pivoting or rotating heads, allowing you to change the viewing angle easily. This feature is especially useful for adjusting the phone for both the driver and passenger or for switching between portrait and landscape modes.

*Can be used on other brand devices with the application of the included steel ring to the back of your device.

*The ball socket mounting allows for a wide range of adjustments for proper viewing.

Standard Magnetic Head Features:

**Steel pad must still be applied to the back of the device/case making direct contact with the magnetic head to properly hold your MagSafe phone**

*The ball socket mounting allows for a wide range of adjustments for proper viewing.

*Cradle arms open to 3.5" wide to work with most phones

*Internal infrared sensors will detect the charging coil of your QI-enabled device and automatically close the grip jaws onto your phone and begin charging.

* Will charge through most non metallic cases. Does not transfer data though charging coil

*Compatible with all QI-enabled devices. *12V Cigarette Lighter Adapter Included and required for proper operation

*Standard features include LED charge status indicators and foreign object detection.

Non-Powered Mechanical Cradle
Secure Grip — No Charging

A mechanical cradle that holds your phone in place with a simple squeeze-release mechanism — no power required. Ideal if you prefer wired charging, need cable access for CarPlay / Android Auto, or use a thick case that magnetic heads can't grip. Tapered arms create a wedge grip that holds devices steady over rough terrain, and a one-touch release button makes removal quick. Universal fit — works with any phone, with or without a case.

MagSafe-Compatible Wireless Charger (Qi1)

MagSafe-Compatible Wireless Charging
Qi Standard — 7.5W

Delivers reliable Qi wireless charging at up to 7.5W — the original MagSafe-compatible wireless standard. Magnetic attachment works with iPhone 12 and newer, or earlier phones using the included adhesive steel ring. Charges through most non-metallic cases. LED indicators and foreign-object detection built in. Choose this when you want proven, cost-effective wireless charging and don't need Qi2's faster speeds.

Next-Gen Qi2 Wireless Charging
Qi2 Standard — 15W

Qi2 is the newer wireless charging standard — faster charging and improved thermal performance over legacy Qi. MagSafe-compatible magnets snap your phone into perfect alignment every time, no adjustments needed. Compared to Qi1, Qi2 delivers higher efficiency, less power loss, and a premium metal housing with passive cooling. Choose this when you want the fastest wireless charging available for your vehicle.

*LED charging indicator and foreign-object detection built in. Covered by our 180-day warranty.

FAQ

Product Q&A

What's the difference between Magnetic, MagSafe, and Cradle heads?

Magnetic heads hold your phone with a built-in magnet — either Standard Magnetic (grip only, no charging) or MagSafe Compatible / MagSafe Charging (aligns to the magnetic ring on iPhone 12+, or to earlier phones using our adhesive steel ring). Cradle heads use a mechanical squeeze-release grip that fits any phone, and are available in powered (wireless charging) and non-powered versions.

How should I power the wireless charging head?

We recommend the included 12V cigarette-lighter adapter. Some factory USB ports can sag under peak draw and cause the charger to cycle on and off, so wiring to the 12V socket cigarette-lighter adapter is the most reliable solution.

Will the charger work through my phone case?

Most non-metallic cases up to roughly 4mm thickness work fine. Rugged cases such as OtterBox Defender-class may block charging or weaken the magnetic grip. Cases with a metal plate behind the phone block wireless charging entirely.

Does this work with Samsung, Google Pixel, and other Android phones?

Yes. Phones that support Qi wireless charging work with our charging heads. For magnetic attach on phones without a built-in MagSafe ring, we include an adhesive steel ring that sticks to the back of the phone or case. A few Pixel models have left-side volume buttons that can contact the cradle arms — if you have one, check clearance or contact support.

What do the LED lights on the charger mean?

A steady LED means charging is active and working normally. A flashing LED usually indicates a power issue — the phone may be off-center from the coil, the adapter may not be seated firmly, or a case or object is blocking the connection. Slide the phone so its coil aligns with the charger's coil and confirm the 12V adapter is firmly in the socket.

How do I get my phone out of the powered cradle when the vehicle is off?

The powered cradle's arms open when energized. If the vehicle is off, press and hold the manual release button on the side of the cradle to mechanically release the arms. The non-powered mechanical cradle is fully manual and doesn't need power at any time.

How long is the warranty?

All Course Motorsports phone mounts carry a 180-day warranty covering manufacturing defects. After the warranty, replacement parts are available through support.
