MagSafe-style magnetic mounting is convenient, but a passive magnetic holder is not the same thing as a wireless charger. Case compatibility also matters. Non-MagSafe phones generally need a compatible magnetic case, ring or plate before they can attach securely.
I have not personally tested these mounts.
Quick picks
- Best magnetic charging vent mount — UGREEN MagSafe Car Mount Charger. A vent-mounted magnetic holder that also provides compatible wireless charging. Check on Amazon Australia.
- Best passive magnetic vent mount — LISEN MagSafe Air Vent Mount. A holder-only option for compatible phones and cases. View on Amazon Australia.
- Best passive magnetic dashboard mount — LISEN All-Metal Magnetic Mount. A folding dashboard-mounted holder for compatible magnetic setups. See it on Amazon Australia.
1. UGREEN MagSafe Car Mount Charger — best charging option
Best for: compatible iPhones where you want magnetic mounting and wireless charging from an air vent.
The current Amazon Australia listing is a vent-mounted magnetic wireless charger for iPhone 12-series and later MagSafe-compatible models. It includes a 1m USB-C-to-USB-C cable; the car power adapter is not included. The listing states up to 15W Qi output generally, while iPhone charging is listed at up to 7.5W.
Trade-off: charging requires a suitable power source and compatible phone/case. Avoid it if you only need a holder or your vehicle has incompatible round vents.
2. LISEN MagSafe Air Vent Mount — best passive vent option
Best for: buyers who want a passive magnetic vent holder without wireless charging.
The current LISEN listing explicitly states that it is a holder only, not a wireless charger. It is intended for iPhone 12-series and later MagSafe-compatible models or suitable magnetic cases; Android devices require an appropriate magnetic plate/system.
Trade-off: it does not charge the phone. Avoid it if charging while driving is part of the purchase goal.
3. LISEN All-Metal Magnetic Mount — best passive dashboard option
Best for: buyers who prefer a folding dashboard-mounted magnetic holder instead of a vent clip.
The LISEN listing uses a folding all-metal arm and magnetic phone interface.
Trade-off: surface placement and phone/case compatibility matter. Avoid it if the intended position would obstruct visibility, controls or safety equipment.
What to check before buying
Confirm your phone model, case type, mounting surface or vent style, and whether the product is a charger or holder only. Do not assume an Android phone will attach without an appropriate magnetic case, ring or plate.
Buyer’s guide
Choose the charging UGREEN model if powered magnetic mounting is the priority, the passive LISEN vent mount if you only need a magnetic holder, or the LISEN dashboard model if you prefer dashboard placement. For conventional clamp mounts, see our car phone mount guide.
FAQ
Does every MagSafe car mount charge?
No. Many magnetic mounts are holders only.
Will a non-MagSafe phone attach?
Only with a suitable compatible magnetic case, ring or plate system.
Does a charging mount include the car power adapter?
Not always. Check the exact Amazon listing; the UGREEN charging mount above includes a USB-C cable but not the car power adapter.
Conclusion
Buy based on whether you need charging and where you want the mount positioned. Keep any car mount clear of the driver’s view, airbags and controls.
