Product Description of Mountek's nGroove CD Slot Mount - Universal Smartphone Car Mount fits Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S, Blackberry, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, etc. [Inserts into CD Slot or Grooves in Dash]

Shopping for a reliable, high-quality mount for your mobile device? This one installs directly into your CD player slot or in between the grooves of your dash. PATENT PENDING DESIGN. It uses NO SUCTION CUPS, NO CLIPS, NO SCREWS, and it requires NO TOOLS. Best part, it won't obstruct your view of the road.

FAQs: My charge port is located on the side of my phone. Will this allow for me to charge it at the same time? Absolutely. Simply detach the support bar located at the bottom of the cradle, and you can easily mount your phone with the charge port exposed. Will the blade activate the CD's auto loader? Although all CD players are made differently, the plastic blade does not reach far enough to activate a CD player's auto loading function. If my CD player has a rubber/cloth dust guard, will the mount damage it? The max depth the nGroove blade can reach is 16mm or .63". If the depth of your dust guard is shorter than this, then the plastic blade might cause it to appear warped or wrinkled. I have an extended battery which requires a larger case. Will it fit? The MT5000 was not designed for devices thicker than .70", but you still might be able to mount your phone without its case. NOTE: You must completely loosen the blade's tightening wheel BEFORE uninstalling the mount. Otherwise, you might scratch your CD slot or dash. Compatible with the new iPhone 4/4S, HTC Thunderbolt, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Inspire, HTC myTouch, Nexus One, Galaxy S Series, LG Revolution, Motorola Droid Bionic, Atrix, & More! *Will not fit TomTom GPS units with a protruding rear speaker.

Please read complete FAQs on Mountek's corporate website for additional information on vehicle compatibility, product information, and installation warnings. It is now against the law to hold your phone while driving. With Mountek's MT5000 nGroove Mount, you can use your device hands free and promote a safer highway.

I LOVE this mount

By R. A. Buley Neumar

I haven't had this too long, but so far I LOVE it! Here's why:

1. I have an iPhone 4 in a nice thick protective case, and the arms on this mount are angled perfectly, and have a nice cushy foam on them, so they close gently but firmly on the sides. Holds the phone perfectly, which my last mount did not.

2. The mount also has a "foot" that my iPhone sits on, and one feature I didn't see mentioned before is that this foot has a wide hole in it, big enough for the charge cord to fit through! On one of my other mounts, I had to leave the phone pushed up high in the holder, and snake the cord up and around the foot. With this one, as long as I've put my phone in straight, I can just push the cord up through the hole and plug it in, without moving my phone at all.

3. I had a suction cup mount before, which seemed fine - when the weather was warm. I live in NY, and this winter has been cold enough that every time I tried to use the mount, as soon as I touched it, the suction cup fell of my windshield. I couldn't rely on it. It also left suction cup rings on my windshield. This mount is sturdy and firm - it's not going anywhere unless I take it off!

4. I love that it mounts to the radio the way it does. I don't need to play CDs since I have an iPhone, so I don't feel bad blocking the CD slot. The mount blocks the CD controls... but who cares? It is positioned perfectly (at least in my Chrysler Town & Country) right above the radio, where I can easily control my iPod functions, and also use my GPS functions. It turns sideways, tilts back and forth and up and down. Incredibly adaptable. My only concern is how long it will continue to stay tight if I turn it horizontally often (which I don't), so I will update this review if it ever gets loose. It doesn't feel like it will, though.

5. Great price! I've seen fancier, more "advanced" mounts for much more. Don't bother. This mount is perfect, and the price is more than reasonable.

I did lots of research, and almost bought several mounts - dashboard-mounted, cup holder-mounted... thank goodness I found this one before I spent any money. If you have a radio with a CD slot, and your other controls won't be blocked by putting this in, get it. You'll love it!

Fantastic customer support

By Paul Fontecchio

This is a quality product from a company with superior customer support. For the price you cannot beat the build and materials of this mount. I was very impressed with it's quality compared to the one my girlfriend has from Verizon (we are never buying the Verizon one again, its useless).

You notice I mentioned superior customer support. Right out of the box I did have an issue. My 08 VW Rabbit has a very very thin CD slot. The blades would not fit into my deck. I emailed Mountek and got a reponse from a person in <5min. 4 emails and 20 minutes later they had agreed to send me thinner replacement blades to swap out. It is now 4 days later and the new blades have arrived and the mount works perfectly. This is why they got 5 stars even with the compatibility issue.

Why should you buy this mount instead of the standard windshield mount?

1. You can reach the phone. Windshield mounts require you to scooch up in your seat or remove phone to reach.

2. It doesnt obstruct your view through windshield

3. Who uses their CD players anymore anyways. Chances are if you have a smartphone to put in this mount, then you no longer need your CD player. Might as well fill the slot in your dash with something usefull.

4. Good quality. Its made of durable, flexible, heavy plasic. Not that cheap brittle shiny stuff.

5. Amazing customer service

... I could keep going

Fabulous and Flawless

By A. B. West

I'm almost jealous that I did not come up with this design myself. It works as advertised, easy to transfer from vehicle to vehicle and works flawless. Very sturdy and easy to operate. Holds my iPhone 3GS like it was designed by Apple. I highly recommend this product to anyone that uses a smarthphone while driving. It is extremely useful if you operate a GPS app on your phone too.

I am a very satisfied customer and user.
