My iPhone 15 Pro Max broke this one on my first drive using it.
I also use it with an iPhone 15 Pro Max and no issues… what broke? Can you DM me your order # so I can send a replacement?

Thanks!

Amazon order from June 30th. Could have been an early design, but the ball broke off right away after the first bump.

Thanks, will send a new one...this has been severely redesigned for fit & strength since then, based on all the feedback I've got.

I use the MagBak in my CT and other Tesla's as well. The CT one has a slight design flaw though, and I can't really recommend it because of that. I'm going to try and help the company fix it, but just a heads up that the piece that they used to adapt it to the CT's screen is a 3D printed piece and they didn't scuff it up after print to better adhere to the 3M tape they used to mount that piece to the charger. So mine fell off after a few months. I simply sanded it roughly and put new 3M tape on it, but from the factory, the design needs to be adjusted.

I thought @ButterEV's solution was pretty clever. He basically used a magbak, but instead of running the wire down and around the floor, he plugged it in to a solar power bank that sits behind his display.

I'm not affiliated with it, or him, in any way.

Can you breakdown the install process for this? Looking to buy this as I like the phone on my left side (ive noticed FSD[on my MYP] doesnt nag me when my eyes are on the left side vs the other screen mounted ones)

If it arrives before the installation video is posted I'll certainly share the install procedure.

Does anyone have a solution with physical arms?

I always have the magbacks bounce off so... Doesn't anyone else have that problem?

I just received and installed the MagBack today and hope it will hold up. I can already tell that it lightly sags down to the left after I anchor my iPhone 15 on it. Also the cable they sent is just slightly too short to tug perfectly out of view.
Another issue might be the magnet not being strong enough if you remove your phone cover.

I got the T-Sportline mount yesterday and installed it quickly (although less efficiently than if I didn’t try to combine steps ;). It’s pretty cool to have the install video up on the truck display. Anyway, I’m extremely happy with the ease of installations and the professional quality.

PSA - it took a lot of effort to pop the first clip loose, I was wondering if the Beast trim was different than the AWD but it finally let loose without any damage.

Looks great! Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I'll be glad to have Waze available again.

Video:

According to the NOAA and a few YT videos I have seen: "a dark dashboard or seat can easily reach temperatures in the range of 180 to more than 200 degrees F." I know I have seen the cabin air temperature in my at at 140° in the app, I am sure the surface of the dash was well above that.

The LFP batteries in a powerpack might be ok to store at that temperature, but if you were to start to use them while they were still above 140° it could quickly degrade the battery.

I think running a USB cable from the OBD2 port is a better idea.
