Will a car phone mount damage my dashboard?

Gel suction mounts leave no residue and don't damage dashboards. Adhesive 3M tape mounts may leave residue when removed. Vent clip mounts don't contact the dashboard at all. The iOttie Easy One Touch uses a gel suction pad that can be washed and reused without damage.

Do magnetic mounts affect phone GPS or compass?

Modern magnetic mounts use magnets positioned around the phone's edge (MagSafe ring) rather than directly behind the compass module. GPS is unaffected. Compass accuracy may shift slightly with very strong magnets but recalibrates immediately after dismounting.

Can I use wireless charging with a car mount?

MagSafe mounts like the Belkin support wireless charging natively. Some clamp mounts include Qi charging pads. The Spigen OneTap Pro in this guide supports MagSafe wireless charging at 7.5W. For Android, look for mounts with built-in Qi charging coils.
