Explore Cygnett’s range of car phone holders
Cygnett offers in-car mounts and holders for all kinds of preferences. Whether you need something simple or packed with features, there’s a perfect match for you.
1. Vent Mount Holders
Car vent mounts attach directly to your car’s air vents, offering a convenient and compact solution. These mounts are ideal for keeping your phone at eye level without obstructing your view. Simply clip it onto the vent, adjust the angle, and you’re set.
2. Dash Mount Holders
Dash mount holders give you a sturdy way to mount your phone on your car’s dashboard. Featuring suction cups or adhesive bases, these mounts are adjustable to suit your line of sight. They’re perfect for drivers who prefer a higher or central position for their devices.
3. Window Mounts
Window car mounts use strong suction cups to attach securely to your car's windscreen or side windows. Some drivers prefer this mounting position because it keeps the phone within reach but out of their direct line of sight, reducing distractions. It’s also useful for vehicles with steep or cluttered dashboards where traditional mounts don’t fit well.
4. Magnetic Phone Holders
Magnetic in-car holders use strong magnets to keep your phone secure. They’re sleek, easy to use, and great for quick attachment and removal. All you need is a compatible MagSafe case or MagRing attached to the back of your phone case for Android devices or iPhones, and your phone will stay firmly in place.
5. Wireless Charging Holders
Wireless magnetic charging holders combine the convenience of car mounts and the functionality of wireless chargers. They keep your phone powered without the hassle of charging cables. These mounts work seamlessly with MagSafe-compatible iPhones and Android devices that support wireless charging, like the latest Samsung phones. They usually come with a USB-C cable that plugs into your car’s built-in USB port. If your car only has a cigarette lighter port, you can also buy a car charger adapter.
Where is the safest place to mount a phone in a car?
The safest place to mount your phone is where it doesn’t obstruct your view or controls. Typically, this is on the dashboard, air vent, or windscreen but positioned low enough to avoid distractions. Always ensure the holder is securely attached and complies with local regulations.
The best car phone mounts for every driver
Choosing the right car phone mount depends on your needs:
1. For frequent travellers: Opt for wireless charging holders to keep your phone powered during long drives.
2. For compact cars: Vent mount holders are space-saving and convenient.
3. For drivers using navigation often: Dash or windscreen holders provide an optimal viewing angle.
4. For quick phone access: Magnetic holders are your best bet for easy attachment and removal.

How to use your car phone holder safely
In Australia, using a mobile phone while driving is illegal unless the device is secured in a commercially designed holder fixed to the vehicle. This rule applies across all states and territories, with penalties varying by jurisdiction.
However, it's important to note that while the use of mobile phones is permitted when secured in an appropriate holder, the placement of the holder must not obstruct the driver's view. Improper positioning can lead to additional penalties for obstructed vision.
To avoid penalties and keep yourself safe on the road, make sure to:
1. Choose the right placement: Attach your holder where it won’t block your view or interfere with dash cams, heaters, or air vents.
2. Adjust before driving: Position your phone for easy visibility and hands-free operation.
3. Use Bluetooth® for calls: Avoid touching your phone by pairing it with your car’s Bluetooth® system.
4. Opt for voice commands: Control navigation and music hands-free with smart assistants.
5. Secure phone accessories: Ensure phone chargers and other phone accessories don’t dangle or obstruct controls.
