The fixed magnetic plate is fixed in the car by adhesive tape or other means, and then put the magnetic bracket of the phone is in the car. The metal plate inside the phone is used to generate a magnetic field, and then it interacts with the magnetic plate in the car, and then it will automatically pick up the phone to stay on.

How do CD slot mounts work?

CD slot phone mounts work by using a clamp, or a pair of clips that grab onto the edges of your CD slot. This leaves enough space for the mount to slide in, but once it's in there is zero play.

What are the main advantages of using a CD slot phone mount?

Well, the first advantage is that you don't have to stick anything on your windshield. As most of us know, this can be a major pain to deal with. In some states, it's illegal to have anything but a GPS on your windshield, and in other states, there are simply too many restrictions to even bother to use one.

The second big advantage is that a CD slot phone mount allows you to get a clear view of your GPS from any angle. On a windshield mount, you only have one angle. In order to get a better look, you need to pull over and reorient the GPS. This is a huge pain, and it means that you are wasting time on your road trip.

The third advantage of using a CD slot phone mount is that it is a lot safer. Instead of trying to maneuver your phone while you're driving, you can simply pick up the phone and place it on the mount. It's a lot less distracting and a lot safer in general.
