MINI R55–R59 Dashboard Phone Mount

Designed for the MINI R-Series Dashboard

Most phone mounts for the MINI Cooper R-Series either block the air vents, rattle at speed, or look nothing like the factory interior. This one does none of those things.

The mount sits at the center of the dashboard, positioned specifically for the Gen 2 MINI Cooper interior geometry, and holds the phone securely without touching a single vent flap.

No Vents Blocked. No Rattles.

The dashboard mount position keeps the center vent row completely clear and functional. Air circulation, defrost, and vent direction all stay exactly as they were.

The mount structure eliminates the vibration that makes vent-clip holders feel flimsy at motorway speeds. Once in place, the phone stays where you put it.

Choose Your Setup

The mount uses a standard 17mm ball joint, so it works with a wide range of holders — or you can choose one of our configurations at checkout.

Standalone Mount
The 17mm ball platform only. Pair with any aftermarket holder you already own. Note: the standalone mount cannot be used without a holder attached.

Mechanical Phone Holder
Spring-loaded grip for phones 6.7–9.2mm thick. Works with any phone regardless of case.

MagSafe Magnetic Holder (Non-charging)
Snap-on magnetic hold for MagSafe-compatible iPhones. Clean, minimal profile.

MagSafe Charger Holder (15W or 25W)
Accepts the Apple OEM MagSafe charger for wireless charging while driving. Select the wattage that matches your Apple charger.

LHD and RHD Available

The mount is available for both left-hand drive and right-hand drive MINI Cooper R-Series interiors. Select your drive side in the dropdown before ordering — the mount geometry differs between the two.

Installation

No drilling, no adhesive, and no permanent modification. The mount fits the factory dashboard geometry and installs in minutes using the existing dashboard structure.

Compatible with factory dashboards only — not suitable for interiors with aftermarket leather or vinyl wraps over the dashboard surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this block the air vents?
No. The mount sits above the vent row, leaving all vents fully functional and unobstructed.

Can I use my own phone holder?
Yes. The Standalone Mount option uses a 17mm ball joint compatible with most aftermarket holders.

Does it fit RHD MINIs?
Yes. Select RHD in the dropdown — the mount geometry is different for right-hand drive interiors.

Does the MagSafe holder support wireless charging?
The Magnetic Holder does not charge. The MagSafe Charger Holders (15W and 25W) do charge when paired with the Apple OEM MagSafe charger.

Will it work on an aftermarket wrapped dashboard?
No. The mount is engineered for factory dashboard geometry only.

Developed for the Gen 2 MINI Interior

The MINI Cooper R-Series interior is compact, well-designed, and notoriously difficult to fit phone mounts into without ruining the look. Vent clips flex, suction cups fall, and universal brackets never sit at the right angle for the Gen 2 dashboard layout.

This mount was developed specifically for R55, R56, R57, R58, and R59 owners who want a clean, factory-looking phone position without drilling or permanent modification. For owners searching for a MINI Cooper R56 phone mount, MINI R-Series phone holder, MINI Cooper MagSafe mount, or Gen 2 MINI dashboard phone holder, this is the direct answer.
