Car phone mounts: ESR HaloLock vent mount fit guide

The details that matter

This ESR HaloLock mount clips onto a car air vent with a rotatable hook and two mounting arms. ESR says the hook fits all vent types, but it also notes that a few car models are not compatible.

The phone holds on by magnet, using N52H magnets. ESR lists iPhone 12 and later with MagSafe, MagSafe cases, HaloLock cases, and standard cases fitted with its HaloLock Universal Ring.

Decide on placement while parked. Keep the display, driving view and essential controls clear, and follow your vehicle's guidance. This mount holds the phone but does not charge it, so plan a separate cable for long drives.

What stands out

• Magnetic hold for iPhones with MagSafe
• Rotatable hook for different vent styles

Watch out for

• Standard cases need a HaloLock ring
• A few car vents are not compatible
