Mercedes G-Class W463 Phone Mount (2012–2018)
Details that make the difference
Look at the black rubber strip.
There are many phone mounts out there. Nobody else uses it.
- Quiet. The rubber absorbs vibration, so the mount adds no rattle or noise while you drive.
- Stays put. The rubber is thicker than the slot, so the mount is hard to pull out, even without adhesive tape.
- No scratches. No plastic rubbing on plastic, so your interior stays as it left the factory.
Typical hobby 3D-printed mounts do not have it.
Ball joint
Knurled grip
Tilt the phone within its range to the angle you like.
The knurled nut gives more grip when you tighten it to lock the position.

It starts as a 3D scan of your car.
Then hours and hours of modelling. Then nylon powder, fused by a laser one layer at a time, until the powder holds the shape of your console.
The rubber is the whole point.
This mount is designed with rubber around it. That rubber is what locks it in place — and what keeps it from ever marking the interior. Nothing scratches. Nothing presses into leather or Alcantara.
It is also why it goes in and comes out in seconds. No tape to peel off and no residue left behind. No suction cup to let go in the heat. No tools, no screws, nothing driven into dashboard plastics that were never made to take it.
We do the hours so the install takes seconds.
Scanning, modelling, printing, finishing and assembly happen in one building in Ticino, Switzerland. Nothing arrives finished. Nothing is rebadged. When a part needs to change, it changes that week.
