Best Porsche 911 (991) Phone Mount — Why Every Option Falls Short (Except One)
The 991 is the last 911 generation with an analogue-first cabin. Which makes it exactly the wrong place for a suction cup on the windscreen or a clip hanging off a vent. Here is what actually works in the 991.1 and 991.2.
Key Takeaways
- No other company makes a vehicle-specific magnetic phone mount for the Porsche 911 (991, 2012–2019)
- Existing options are universal clips, suction cups, and adhesive pads — none belong in this interior
- Slots into the open storage tray in the centre console. No drilling, no adhesive, reversible in 60 seconds
- MagSafe variant with Qi2 15 W wireless charging, charger included. Quad Lock® adapter variant available
- Fits 991.1 (2012–2016) and 991.2 (2017–2019), all trims from Carrera to Turbo S and GT3
- Cars with the Smoker's Package need the standard open tray, Porsche part 991-553-143-00
- Sintered nylon, designed and manufactured in Switzerland, 2-year warranty
The 911 Phone Mount Problem
The 991-generation 911 (2012–2019) predates wireless charging trays and big touchscreen real estate. Your phone still needs to be visible for navigation and calls — and the market answers with the same universal junk it offers every hatchback: vent clips, suction cups, adhesive pads, and a Brodit bracket that screws visible plastic onto the console of a sports car worth six figures.
None of that belongs in a 911.
Every 911 Phone Mount Option, Compared
| Mount | Type | MagSafe / Qi2 | Integrated | Damage risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brodit ProClip | Screwed/clipped bracket + holder | ✗ (requires add-on) | ✗ | Visible bracket on console |
| Generic vent clip | Universal, clips to air vent | Some models | ✗ | Damaged vent slats |
| Suction cup mount | Universal, windscreen | Some models | ✗ | Falls in heat; illegal spots |
| Adhesive dash pad | Sticks to dashboard | Some models | ✗ | Residue on the dash |
| Tactic Engineering | Slots into console tray | ✓ Qi2 15W, charger included | ✓ | None — see price → |
Why Generic Mounts Do Not Belong in a 911
Suction cups: the rubber dries, the mount drops, and in several European countries mounting anything on the windscreen is restricted anyway. A 911 cabin parked in summer sun reaches temperatures no suction cup survives for long.
Vent clips: the 991's vents are not built to carry a phone. The clip stresses the slats, blocks airflow, and hangs a bouncing phone in front of your climate controls.
Adhesive pads: residue on a leather-and-Alcantara interior, gradual peeling from temperature cycling, and a mark you will explain at resale.
Brodit ProClip: the most professional of the old options, but it is still a visible plastic arm in two pieces, without wireless charging, at €80–110 combined. It looks aftermarket because it is.
What Makes the Tactic Engineering Mount Different
We design vehicle-specific mounts around one principle: it should look like Porsche put it there. The 991 has an open storage tray in the centre console. Our base is shaped to that tray and slots straight in. No bracket, no clamp, no adhesive. Install takes 60 seconds, no tools, fully reversible — the interior stays exactly as it left Zuffenhausen.
On top sits the charging head. The MagSafe variant is a complete kit: Qi2 wireless charging puck, 15 W over USB-C, held by an N52 neodymium ring plus 16 satellite magnets at 5,200 Gauss. The phone sits at eye line beside the shifter and stays there — through hard cornering. Prefer Quad Lock®? The adapter variant fits the Quad Lock® MAG wireless charging head you already own.
MagSafe + Qi2
15 W wireless charging, charger included. N52 ring + 16 satellite magnets, 5,200 Gauss. iPhone 12–17 and Qi2 Android.
Vehicle-Specific Fit
Shaped to the 991 console tray. Drops in, sits flush, looks factory.
60-Second Install
No drilling, no adhesive, no tools. Fully reversible — nothing to explain at resale.
Made in Switzerland
Sintered nylon, designed and manufactured in-house. 2-year warranty, spare parts always available.
Compatibility: 911 (991), 2012–2019
✓ Porsche 911 991.1 (2012–2016) and 991.2 (2017–2019) — Carrera, S, 4, 4S, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, GT3
✓ The golden rule: if your centre console has the open storage tray, it fits
Watch out:
✗ Not the 992 (2020+) and not the 997 — different consoles, we build separately for those platforms
⚠ Cars optioned with the Smoker's Package have an ashtray instead of the open tray. The fix is cheap: the standard open tray, Porsche part 991-553-143-00, swaps straight in.
We build mounts for other Porsche models too: 718 Cayman / Boxster, Boxster / Cayman 981, Macan 2022–2026, Cayenne 2018–2023, Cayenne 2024+ and Taycan.
