I have this mount but for the Mk2 version, the clip one at the top picture. Its the best most secure mount Ive come across and it doesnt need to be clipped into the air vent with a risk of it coming off at any time too or blocking the air vent significantly.

I have the magnetic mounting attachment too, but I really dont want to attach a slab of metal to my phone to then clip on to the mount.

I have this installed, although mine was from Clearmounts in Canada - but it looks to be the same product. I use the magnetic holder as I think the whole thing looks cleaner and more in keeping with the rest of the interior.

It is very sturdy and looks like it came with the car, rather than being an aftermarket product.

An installation video is here and is worth a watch:

I have the Clearmounts too which is excellent, it comes with 2 mounting options as stated although I changed the holder bit to one I had which held my photo better. It uses the standard ball joint attachment between phone holder bit and mounting plate so was easy to swap out...You definitely wont be disappointed...

Very interested in one of these!

How long have you had this mounted for? ever had issues with the mount falling off as its stuck on with 3m tape?

Does this mount work if you want your phone in landscape mode?

Is the magnet sufficiently strong to keep everything in place if you accelerate/brake "forcefully"?

Has anyone found any other phone holders that work well?

Have one of these ordered. Can anyone advise if I can mount it in the gap furthest away from the driver (to the left of the centre vent) rather than to the right of the centre vent? For me it's a little close when looking at the above pictures.

I saw a YouTube video where the OEM Mounts phone holder leaves a rather large dent in the dashboard.
The offending dent is seen at 3:28s. I noticed a screw head on the fixing plate appears to be responsible for the dent.

Has anyone else noticed this dent when using the OEM Mounts phone holder for the Audi TT MK3 ?

Also the photos above in the thread feature the more expensive Clearmounts phone holder, which apparently, is the original and does appear to be of a significantly better construction.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I really don't want to leave a dent in my dashboard!

I reached out to Clearmounts in Canada and asked about the little dent, and this was their response:

As far I remember the "OEM Mounts" which I installed had flat countersink screw/bolt. I will check it and confirm when I got spare time.

Not sure which is which but this version has flatback.
