Best Audi Q7 4M (2016-2019) Phone Mount in 2026: Buyer Guide
The Q7 4M interior is clean and horizontal: a long band of vents across the dash, the MMI screen on top, very few edges to hang anything on. Between the cup holders there is a slot for the key. Our mount pushes into it and puts the phone low in the console, charging over Qi2.

01Why generic mounts struggle in the Q7
The vents are a design feature. The 4M runs one long vent band across the dash. A clip on it blocks the air for the whole side and sits at an angle the louvres were not made for.
The dash is deep. A suction cup on the windscreen ends up far from the driver and in the view of the road.
The surfaces are soft. Adhesive pads on soft-touch plastic leave marks when they come off. On a car that goes back to a leasing company, that is a charge.
| 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 key slot between the cup holders | Anchored in the console. No wobble | Qi2 up to 15 W, built in | None. Reversible |
02Where ours goes
Between the two cup holders the Q7 4M has a slot for the key. The base is modelled on a 3D scan of the console and pushes into that slot. No screws, no tape, nothing to remove.
The phone ends up low in the console, next to the gear selector. The MMI screen, the vents and the climate controls stay free.
The install video is on the product page. Watch it before ordering and compare the slot with your car.

Frequently asked questions
Where exactly does it sit?
In the key slot between the two cup holders, next to the gear selector. The video on the product page shows the exact spot.
Does it fit the SQ7?
If your console has the key slot between the cup holders shown in the video, it fits. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Does it fit the 2020+ facelift?
Not tested. Send us a photo of your console and we tell you.
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.
