Follow this short guide to install it correctly and avoid potential damage.
Installation Instructions
Installation Steps
1. Hook the top arm of the mount onto the upper edge of the air vent.
2. Press the lower clip firmly into the slot to lock it in place.
This ensures your Golf MK8 phone holder is stable and won’t rattle during driving.
Where to Install (Recommended Position)
Ideal Application Spot
We recommend installing your VW Golf MK8 cell phone mount on the center air vent, near the central control panel. This provides the most balanced weight support and an easy glance view while keeping your dashboard clean and accessible.
What to Avoid (Prevent Mount Damage)
Avoid installing here
Do not install the mount on the far-left or far-right vents. These side vents are narrower and not designed to support the mounting clip. Installing here can damage both the vent and the mount.
Final Tips for Best Performance
- This mount is compatible with Golf MK8 and MK8.5, including GTI models.
- Avoid repositioning frequently once installed to preserve vent integrity.
- For MagSafe mount users: If you're not using an iPhone with built-in MagSafe, make sure your phone has a strong magnetic plate—either built-in or added externally—for the best grip. For iPhone users, using an official MagSafe or MagSafe-compatible case will ensure a secure and stable hold.
