Vent-mounted phone holder installation: Prepare the holder and vent attachment clip. Loosen the knob on the back of the holder, insert the attachment clip, then tighten the knob. Select a suitable air vent, press the spring clip on the attachment to secure it in place.

When I first bought a car phone mount, I was also confused. Here’s my advice: the most convenient option is the air vent clip. The clip on the back of the mount directly snaps onto the vent blades—make sure to attach it to a sturdy horizontal blade until you hear a click. For magnetic mounts, remember to stick the metal plate to the back of your phone first. Installation position is crucial; avoid the airbag area. For taller drivers like me, mounting the holder on the left vent reduces eye movement while driving, making it safer. When adjusting the mount’s joints, don’t overtighten—leave some flexibility to prevent your phone from bouncing off over speed bumps.
