This IJS car charger combines a strong magnetic phone mount with a built-in retractable charging cable, so your phone snaps onto the windshield or dash and charges at the same time without a loose cord dangling across the console. The cable extends to reach your hand and pulls back in when you are done, which keeps the cabin tidy. The magnets hold MagSafe and most magnet-ring cases securely over bumps, and the arm pivots so you can angle the screen for navigation. Best fit: drivers who use their phone for maps or music every day and are tired of the wireless pad that never quite charges. Note it is a wired magnetic mount, not a wireless Qi pad, so a compatible cable tip on your phone is required.

Pros

  • Retractable cable pulls back in so there is no cord clutter on the console
  • Magnets hold the phone steady over bumps and rough roads
  • Arm pivots to angle the screen for navigation
  • Mounts on windshield or dash with a strong suction base

Cons

  • It is a wired magnetic mount, not a true wireless pad, so you need the right cable tip for your phone

Frequently asked questions

Does this charge wirelessly or do I need a cable?

It uses the built-in retractable cable to charge, so it is a wired connection. The magnet only holds the phone in place. Make sure the cable tip matches your phone's port.

Will the magnet hold a heavy phone in a case?

Yes, it grips MagSafe phones and most phones with a magnet ring or MagSafe-compatible case. Very thick or non-magnetic cases may need a separate metal ring plate.

Where does it mount, the vent or the windshield?

This model mounts on the windshield or dashboard with a suction base, not the air vent.

How long does the retractable cable extend?

The cable pulls out far enough to reach your hand for setup and retracts back to the base when released, keeping slack off the console.
