MINI R50 R52 R53 17mm Ball Mount | MagSafe Phone Holder | Left or Right | 3D Printed ABS
Keep Your Phone in Sight. Keep Your Eyes on the Road.
Your first-gen MINI deserves a phone mount that matches its character — not some universal clip-on that wobbles on every bend. This 17mm ball mount integrates directly into the factory lower dash trim, placing your phone at the perfect height: visible for navigation, reachable for calls, never blocking your view. Snap your MagSafe iPhone straight on, or use the included metal ring for any other device.
Key Features & Your Benefits:
True OEM-Integration Mount: Replaces two factory trim screws with the mount sandwiched cleanly underneath. No suction cups peeling off. No vent clips snapping under weight. No adhesive residue on your classic MINI's dashboard.
30-Second Install: Remove the two screws on the lower dash trim, position the mount, thread the original factory screws back through. Done. No drilling. No permanent modifications. Fully reversible.
Built-In MagSafe Magnet Ring: Equipped with a high-strength neodymium (rare earth) magnetic ring. iPhone 12 and newer models snap on instantly with perfect alignment — no metal plate needed unless you use a non-MagSafe case. Holds firm through spirited cornering.
Universal Phone Compatibility: Every other phone is covered too. The included adhesive metal ring works with any device, any case, any brand — Android, older iPhones, rugged work phones.
Doubles as a Gauge Mount: The 17mm ball is a standard size. Mount your Ultragauge, GPS navigator, or action camera — same mount, multiple uses.
Left or Right Mounting — Your Choice: Designed for both LHD and RHD MINIs. We recommend mounting on the passenger side of the centre console for optimal line of sight. RHD vehicles: left side. LHD vehicles: right side. Need help deciding? Message us.
3D Printed ABS — Built for Car Interiors: ABS withstands summer heat without warping, resists impacts, and delivers a smooth, near-OEM surface finish. This is not brittle PLA — it's engineered for real automotive use.
