Will this work for an onyx radio for XM?
A shopper
on Jan 3, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I use it for my iPhone SE. not sure how heavy the onyx radio is. If it is similar to an iPhone, the magnet should be strong enough. It does require a flat back to attach the magnet to.

This mount requires a magnet to be placed on the back of my phone, but holds nicely. The magnet is provided.

The magnet is too weak to properly hold an iPhone. I wouldn’t recommend purchase.

Don't the magnets damage or interfere at all with the phone? Seems counter to what we've always been taught about "no magnets near electronics"
A shopper

BEST ANSWER: The magnets would not be very strong so it would not damage your phone.

No one has ever been taught that. The issue was to keep magnets away from magnetic media i.e. floppy disks. Traditional platter hard drives were also somewhat susceptible to magnets, but less so. Any other perception about magnets and electronics was, unfortunately, all in your head.

BEST ANSWER: I chatted with Monoprice to find out. They were able to inform me that 16268, has the adjustable collar. 16269 does not.

Thanks for the reply. Any chance they can update the photos? The description is correct but the product photos really threw me off.
I ordered 4 of these and was sent 4 boxes of 16269. What was in the boxes was 16268. Spoke to tech and explained that the website doesn't match what Monoprice tech are looking at. Tech said that the 16268 is the adjustable mount and only after sending tech a screenshot of the website page and a picture of my 16269 mounts did they realize they may have a problem. Their solution was to have me return my order with a RMA and then re-order the 'wrong ones' in order to get the 'right' model and pay for shipping again (which costs than the 4 mounts). Was surprised at that, but will return the order. .

Will the magnet interfere with a wireless charging pad? I use wireless charging while not in the car, so I need to know if the magnet that comes with this device will affect it.

Works very well.
Holds phone rigidly in place on vent, which is up high but not obscuring the windshield view. Unbeatable price. Get it.

Why is the rubber contact free-spinning?
My biggest complaint about the design is why they made the rubber contact point of the mount free-spinning. With the finger print sensor on the back of my phone I need to have the mounting point of the metal plate below the center of mass of the phone. The second I make a turn in the vehicle my phone flips over upside down and sometimes slips off the mount and falls on the floor.

So good, so inexpensive!
This thing works awesome! Holds my iPhone 5 easily. Also holds my wife's iPhone 6 just as well, no slipping. There is no fiddling with clamps or fitting into slots, just place the phone on the magnet. And every car has a heat/ac vent to hold the mount, even my old 69 Buick :) Highly recommend!
