Best Audi Q5 (2021-2024) Phone Mount in 2026: Buyer Guide
In front of the gear selector, the 2021–2024 Q5 has a storage tray with a cover. It is where the phone ends up anyway, face down, sliding around. We scanned the tray and made a mount that fills it: phone upright, charging over Qi2, and a small open tray at the front so the storage is not lost.

01The Q5 phone problem
The phone in a Q5 lives in the tray in front of the gear selector, face down. You cannot see the map, and every corner slides it into the side wall. A vent clip is the usual fix, and on the Q5 it puts the phone in front of the air and the climate controls.
Suction cups end up high on the windscreen and let go in the summer. Adhesive pads leave marks on the soft-touch dash, which costs money at lease return.
| Option | Where the phone sits | Rough roads | Charging | Marks left |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suction cup on the windscreen | High on the glass, out of reach | Lets go in heat and cold | Separate cable | Ring on the glass |
| Vent clip | In front of a vent, blocks the air | Sags and rattles | Separate cable | Can crack a louvre |
| Adhesive dash pad | Wherever the dash is flat enough | Holds until the sun softens the glue | Separate cable | Residue and marks |
| Tactic, vehicle-specific | In the storage tray, low and clear of the screen | Anchored in the console. No wobble | Qi2 up to 15 W, built in | None. Reversible |
02Where ours goes
In the storage tray in front of the gear selector. The base is modelled on a 3D scan of the Q5 console and fills the tray, so it needs no screws and no tape. It stays put by shape.
The phone stands upright, low and clear of the screen, below the climate controls. The front of the mount is an open tray. Keys, coins, a parking card: the storage is not lost.
03What you get
The vehicle-specific base with a MagSafe-compatible Qi2 wireless charger. Up to 15 W over USB-C. Tilt the charger to set the viewing angle. Magnetic alignment holds the phone on the charger through corners.
Scanned from the car
The base is modelled on a 3D scan of the interior. It is shaped to one recess in one car.

Frequently asked questions
Do I lose the storage tray?
Not all of it. The front of the mount is an open tray for keys, coins or a card.
Does it fit the Q5 Sportback or the SQ5?
If the tray in front of your gear selector matches the photos and video, it fits. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Does it fit the 2025 Q5?
No. The new generation has a different console.
Which phones work?
iPhone 12 and newer, any Qi2 Android phone, or any phone in a MagSafe-compatible case. Case thickness up to 3 mm.
Where does the power come from?
The Qi2 charger runs on USB-C. A USB-C PD source of 30 W or more gives full speed, for example our 30W Mini USB-C Car Charger.
Does it need drilling or glue?
No. No drilling, no adhesive, no screws. Take it out and the interior is as it left the factory.
What if a part breaks?
Two-year warranty in every country. Every part is made in-house and sold separately, so you replace a part, not the mount.
When does it ship?
Orders leave our workshop in Switzerland every Tuesday and Friday.
