Hey, so this may be a bit of a weird one, but help is appreciated.

I just got my iPhone 12 mini, and I want to mount it to the dashboard of my car so it’s kept safe whilst driving. However, I don’t want to buy a proper MagSafe cable as I can’t use it in my car (CarPlay requires a wired connection in this model, so wireless charging is pointless).

i literally just want the mounting feature of MagSafe, without the power. Is there anything like this available? Thanks!

EDIT: the cheaper the better, I will likely mutilate any device I do get to make it sit flat on the dash of my car!

ESR sells a charger on Amazon that has a separate cable, that you could connect or disconnect.

The Belkin model available at Belkin.com and Apple stores might be what you're looking for.

Ah, I should have said, I’m looking for something very cheap. I would probably need to cut off the vent mount from a device like that too, as I don’t want to use up another vent. Thank you anyway!

Theres a thread about this already 30 pages long. There is plenty in there to choose from.
