3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Choosing a Mounting Location
The Baseus Car Mount can be installed on various smooth, hard surfaces within your vehicle, including the dashboard, windshield, center console, or even an air vent. Ensure the chosen surface is clean and dry for optimal adhesion. Avoid fabric, soft leather, nubuck, suede, or other soft/uneven surfaces as they may reduce stability.

This image provides a visual guide to surfaces compatible with the 3M adhesive (e.g., plastic, glass, leather, metal) and those that are not recommended (e.g., fabric, soft leather, suede).
3.2 Installation Steps
- Clean the Area: Confirm the mounting area and clean it thoroughly with the provided alcohol wipe. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
- Apply the Mount: Peel off the release film from the base of the car mount. Align the base onto the cleaned surface and press it firmly.
- Secure Adhesion: Press the center and edges of the base firmly for at least 30 seconds to ensure full contact and strong adhesion.
- Curing Time: Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before attaching your phone or using the mount. This ensures maximum bond strength.

3.3 Magnetic Ring Installation (for non-MagSafe devices)
If your phone or phone case is not MagSafe compatible (e.g., iPhone 11 and earlier, Android phones), use the included magnetic ring for optimal performance. Ensure your phone case is suitable; avoid liquid silicone frosted finish, leather-textured, corrugated/uneven surface, or TPU soft cases.
- Clean the Case: Clean the area on your phone case where the magnetic ring will be attached with an alcohol wipe.
- Position the Ring: Align the magnetic ring using the included positioning card to ensure correct placement.
- Attach the Ring: Press the magnetic ring firmly onto the case, ensuring full contact.
- Curing Time: Wait 24 hours before using the phone with the car mount to allow the adhesive on the magnetic ring to fully bond.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Attaching Your Phone
Once the mount is securely installed and the adhesive has cured (24 hours), simply bring your MagSafe-compatible phone (or phone with the installed magnetic ring) close to the magnetic head of the mount. The strong magnets will automatically align and secure your phone in place.
4.2 Adjusting Viewing Angle and Orientation
- Magnetic Head Rotation: The magnetic head can be rotated 360 degrees to switch between portrait and landscape orientations.
- Flexible Arm Adjustment: The bendable aluminum arm allows you to position your phone at various heights and distances for optimal viewing.
- Reversible Magnetic Head: The magnetic head can be flipped 180 degrees, offering even more flexibility in positioning.
- Magnetic Force Adjustment: Use the knob on the base to fine-tune the magnetic suction force. Rotate to MIN for about 15N suction force (easier detachment) or to MAX for about 25N suction force (stronger hold).

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Baseus Car Mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Adhesive Care: The 3M adhesive is designed for long-term use. Avoid frequently removing and re-applying the mount, as this can weaken the adhesive bond. If re-application is necessary, ensure the surface is clean and dry, and allow 24 hours for curing.
- Magnetic Head: Keep the magnetic surface clean and free of dust or debris to ensure strong magnetic adhesion.
- Storage: If storing the mount for an extended period, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Baseus for MagSafe Car Mount, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount not sticking firmly. | Surface not clean/dry, adhesive not fully cured, incompatible surface type. | Ensure surface is clean and dry. Allow 24 hours for adhesive to cure after installation. Verify the surface is smooth and hard (refer to Section 3.1). |
| Phone not holding securely. | Magnetic force set too low, magnetic ring not installed (for non-MagSafe), incompatible phone case. | Rotate the magnetic adjustment knob towards MAX to increase suction force. If using a non-MagSafe phone, ensure the magnetic ring is properly installed on a compatible case (refer to Section 3.3). |
| Mount wobbles or shakes. | Improper installation, loose components. | Ensure the base is firmly adhered to the surface. Check that all adjustable parts are tightened if applicable (though this model is mostly fixed once adhered). |
If the problem persists, please contact Baseus customer support for further assistance.
