DIRECT FIT PHONE MOUNT - Mazda MX5 MIATA (2016+)

Phone Mount fail in 2019 Miata

I purchased the phone mount with the standard magnetic head for my model year Miata. It came with steel pads that adhesively mount to the back of the case to magnetically connect with the magnetic head. Youtube instructions for installation were good and the installation was relatively easy.. Unfortunately, it won't hold my Samsug phone. Rhw phone just slides off. The magnet grip seems inadequate.

Perfect Fit !

This mount is perfect for the ND Miata. It’s sturdy yet un-obtrusive. The arm is a thin metal that’s thick enough to handle my heavy iPhone Max. The black on black circular mount is very low key, almost as if it were oem. Install took about 15 minutes after watching the video.. Not sure why others complain of adhesion problems. Mine came with a self tapping screw which combined with the 3M double sided tape, makes for a very secure mount. I have no worries this baby will come off!

Room for improvement

I really want to leave a positive review for this but unfortunately I feel that the company can do better. For $120 I purchased a mount with a Qi2 charger. The package included no installation instructions whatsoever. Finally found an installation video they posted on the product page. Installed per instructions. Cleaned the location with alcohol. Taped on the mount. Reassembled my dash. After one drive I noticed that the mount was loose. Took apart my dash to discover that the tape they use is lacking. It's a spongy foam. Turns out that the foam separated. Kinda ridiculous that they cannot spend an extra ten cents for a decent piece of tape for this application. I reinstalled it with some much stronger VHB tape purchased at my own expense.
