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

  • MagSafe variant with Qi2 wireless charging up to 25 W, 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
  • Smoker's Package cars need a different mount — a version for that console is in development
  • 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 up to 25 W, 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, up to 25 W over USB-C, with magnetic Qi2 alignment. The phone snaps on and stays put. 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.

Made in Switzerland

Sintered nylon, designed and manufactured in-house. 2-year warranty, spare parts always available.

Compatibility: 911 (991), 2012–2019

Confirmed compatible:

✓ 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, so this mount does not fit them. A version shaped for that console is in development.

We build mounts for other Porsche models too: 718 Cayman / Boxster, Boxster / Cayman 981, Macan 2022–2026, Cayenne 2018–2023, Cayenne 2024+ and Taycan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a phone mount made specifically for the Porsche 911 (991)?
Yes — ours. Tactic Engineering makes a vehicle-specific magnetic phone mount for the 991-generation 911 (2012–2019). It slots into the open storage tray in the centre console and carries a Qi2 wireless charging head with up to 25 W output and magnetic Qi2 alignment.
Does it fit the 992?
No. The 992 (2020+) has a different centre console. This mount fits the 991 platform: 991.1 (2012–2016) and 991.2 (2017–2019).
My 991 has the Smoker's Package. Does the mount still fit?
Not yet. The Smoker's Package console has a different lid, so this mount does not fit it. A version shaped for that console is in development — write to team@tacticengineering.com and we'll tell you when it ships.
Do I need to drill or glue anything?
No. The mount slots into the console tray in about 60 seconds, no tools. The only routing is a USB-C cable. Fully reversible — pull it out and the interior is exactly as Porsche built it.
Will the phone stay on under hard driving?
Yes. The charging head uses magnetic Qi2 alignment. The phone snaps on and stays put, through track-day cornering loads as well as the commute.
Does it work with Android phones?
Yes. Any phone with Qi2 snaps on and charges at up to 25 W. Older Android phones work with a MagSafe-compatible case or an adhesive magnet ring. Any MagSafe-compatible case up to 3 mm thick works.
I already use Quad Lock. Do I have to switch?
No. We make an adapter variant that fits between our base and the Quad Lock® MAG wireless charging head you already own. You keep your Quad Lock case and charger.
