OpenSourceEV Offset Charging MagSafe Holder

OpenSourceEV Offset Charging MagSafe Holder

The OpenSourceEV Offset Charging MagSafe Holder is our own wireless charging holder, built around an offset arm that keeps your phone clear of the vent airflow. It charges at up to 15W, the most you'll get from an OBD-II port, with no fan and nothing to hear. It fits our TripleLock, EVO, and NextGen phone mounts and any standard 17mm ball mount, and is tested and supported by OpenSourceEV.

Why This Holder

• Offset Design: The arm sets your phone out from the 17mm ball, keeping it clear of the vent airflow and giving you room to position it.
• Matched to OBD-II Power: Charges at up to 15W, the full wireless rate available from an OBD-II charger.
• Silent: No fan, so there's nothing to hear.
• Subtle Lighting: A dim blue LED ring helps you line up your phone at night without distracting you while driving.
• Almost No Standby Draw: Uses less than 1mW when not charging, so it won't drain your 12V battery.
• Open Center: The open center design keeps the holder light and compact.
• Plugs Into USB-A: The included USB-A to USB-C cable plugs straight into the USB-A port on our OBD-II Dual USB Charger, leaving its USB-C port free for something else.
• MagSafe Snap-On: Your phone snaps on and off with one hand. No clamps, no plugging in a cable every time you get in.
• Works Without MagSafe: Includes a metal ring for phones or cases without built-in magnets, including most Android phones with wireless charging.
• Fits Our Mounts: Uses a standard 17mm ball joint and fits the TripleLock, EVO, NextGen, and Stealth phone mounts.

Charging Speed

Wireless charging speed depends on your phone and your power source:

• Up to 15W: MagSafe iPhones and Qi2 phones, including when powered by our OBD-II Dual USB Charger.
• Android: phones with wireless charging, in a MagSafe-compatible case or with the included ring, charge at their own wireless rate, which on many models is lower than 15W.

What's Included

• OpenSourceEV Offset Charging MagSafe Holder
• Dashboard mount and air vent mount
• USB-A to USB-C cable, 1m (about 40 inches)
• Metal ring for non-MagSafe phones or cases

Power source not included. Plug the included cable into a fast-charge USB-A port:

• R2: the USB-A port on our OBD-II Dual USB Charger.
• R1S / R1T: our Scosche OBD-II to USB-A Quick Charge Connector. Its cord routes the USB-A port up under the steering column, close enough for the included 1m cable to reach your mount.

A basic 5V USB port will charge your phone more slowly.
