My 2019 doesn't have the charge pad on the back console and even if it did, this phone wouldn't fit there anyway.
I saw a post where someone was using a cigarette lighter mounted magnetic mount they bought from ebay.
It looked like a viable option for me since my phone has a built in magnet in the rear of the case.
Does anyone have experience with these 12volt mounts? Does the phone stay in place?
The cupholder mount doesn't work for me. I chew tobacco (Oklahoman...what can I say?) so my spitcup and my beverage take up the holder spots.
The vent chargers are useless although the self clamping ones look awesome, they just don't work in our cars.
What do you guys use?
Just a quick note on the recharge pad…unless you have an iPhone 12 Max, your iPhone 12 will fit on the charge pad. That said, for 2017 and earlier, the charge pad doesn’t work with Apple phones. I had the charge pad upgraded so that my passengers can charge their phones. I recently upgraded from iPhone X to iPhone 12 Pro. Both phones fit the pad.

I also use Proclips and was pleased to find out that the iPhone 12 Pro is slightly narrower than the iPhone X and fit into my existing Proclip with only minor adjustment.
