Mountek nGroove Snap 2 Smartphone / Mini Tablet CD Slot Magnetic Car Mount

A great new way to mount your smartphone or mini tablet for safe and solid hands-free access in your vehicle, boat or plane.

At last - the mobile hands-free car mount you’ve been waiting for

The nGroove Snap 2 is a magnetic mobile device mount with a sleek nGroove blade that easily wedges into a CD/DVD slot or dashboard seam - the optimal locations for driver accessibility. The nGroove pre-assembled blade has made car mount installation simple and effortless. Forget suction cups, clips, screws, and adhesives. No more sticky stains or residue on your dashboard. Just wedge, tighten, and drive. It’s that simple! The nGroove Snap 2 is Mountek’s most versatile mount yet. It functions as a CD Slot Mount, Dashboard Seam Mount, Desktop Stand, Tripod Mount, and Laptop Monitor Clip. Simply invert the nGroove Snap blades for function versatility.

Universal

Firmly and safely mounts mobile phones, satnav units, MP3 players, mini tablets and other high-tech devices including iPhone 4/5/5C/5S, iPad Mini, Samsung Galaxy S Series, Note, HTC, Motorola, Google Nexus and Nokia Lumia. Comes assembled and ready to use with a strong, sturdy grip thanks to its rubber-reinforced insertion blade. The super-tight but simple blade system involves just a thumbscrew and tightening wheel.

Brilliantly innovative

Insert directly into a front-loading CD or DVD player slot and easily control your electronic device from the driver’s seat. Or, insert into an existing dashboard groove to keep your CD/DVD player accessible. Sophisticated ball joint adapter allows for fine-tuning your display angle for maximum viewing comfort while driving. The Mountek nGroove Snap 2 features a rubber-dipped nGroove blade for better grip. With no tools necessary for installation, the nGroove Snap 2 comes pre-assembled and mounts easily to protect and display your digital devices.

Reclaim Dash Space, Reclaim Peace of Mind

The outside world may be rushing past your windscreen but the interior of your car is a sanctuary for safety and efficiency. A clutter-free dashboard and windscreen helps maintain focus with a clear aesthetic. The “floating” nGroove Snap 2 mount displays your devices clearly and unobtrusively without damaging your vehicle. Say goodbye to suction cups and sticky adhesives, and say hello to seamless integration.

360 Swivel: Find Your Perfect Tilt

Your driving needs and habits are like no one else’s, which is why the Mountek nGroove Snap comes with a 360-degree swivel. Mount your device vertically or horizontally depending on preference, and then adjust the display angle for optimal viewing. The ball hinge permits viewing angle adjustments from all directions: up, down, diagonal, and side-to-side. Effortlessly switch your mobile phone or small tablet from landscape to portrait mode without taking your eyes off the road. Even while docked, the nGroove Snap 2 allows clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation up to 360 degrees.

Snap 2 - The Next Generation

We are pleased to confirm that this is the nGroove Snap 2, the upgraded next-generation version of the popular nGroove Snap for seamless digital device mounting. Brand-new features include full rubberised blade grips and elegant grey-on-black profile. Mountek engineers redesigned this proven car mount for even better performance with superior aesthetics. High-friction grip material on all sides of the nGroove Snap 2 insertion blade provides a stronger, sturdier hold in vehicle CD slots and dashboard grooves. The product’s silicone sticker base received a special 3M adhesive overlay to minimise lift when a device is removed from the nGroove Snap 2 adapter. Paying tribute to Mountek fans’ sophisticated design preferences, designers replaced the nGroove Snap’s yellow safety sticker with a subtle grey-on-black rendition of the classic Mountek logo.

History and Innovation

Mountek introduced the very first CD slot mount to the world in 2006 and is constantly improving its designs for safer driving. The USPTO has recently awarded Mountek with a utility patent for its CD slot mounting technology. U.S. Patent ID: 8,505,795. The company also has several international pending patents. Proudly designed and assembled in the USA.

Frequently-asked questions

Will the blade activate the CD’s auto loader?

The plastic blade is not long enough to activate the auto-loading function on most CD players. All CD players are made differently, however, so in the event the plastic blade activates any internal mechanisms, please discontinue use immediately.

Can I listen to my CDs at the same time?

Technically yes, you can listen to your CDs even while the mount is installed. However, we advise that you eject any CDs in your single CD player or multi-disc changer before installing the nGroove Snap mount. If you do choose to listen to CDs while using our mount, do not eject CDs with the nGroove Grip in place. Failure to comply may cause permanent damage to your CD player.

Will the mount work with the specific make and model of my car?

We rarely encounter a car that doesn’t permit nGroove Grip installation, but we can’t guarantee that it will work in all cars. Not all vehicles have a front-loading CD slot or adequate dashboard grooves, for example. The nGroove Grip will not fit TomTom GPS units with a protruding rear speaker. If you’re not sure about compatibility, send us a photo of your car stereo at [email protected]. One of our experts will be happy to provide an honest opinion. If the mount isn’t compatible with your car, return it within 30 days for a hassle-free refund.

My CD player has a rubber/cloth dust guard. Will the mount damage it?

The depth of the nGroove Grip 2 blade is 16 mm. If the depth of your dust guard is shorter than this, the mount may cause it to appear warped or wrinkled. Note: You must completely loosen the blade’s tightening wheel before removing it from the CD slot. Otherwise, removal could damage your dust guard. Please take these factors into consideration before purchasing the mount.

How does the nGroove Snap 2 hold my device?

The nGroove Snap 2 generates a magnetic field to hold handheld devices that have a metal Mountek badge. Without this badge, the nGroove Snap cannot hold your device. The nGroove Snap 2 ships with two badges.

Can I place the metal badge inside my phone case?

Yes, this is the recommended method. However, there are some cases that may be too thick or heavy for the nGroove Snap 2. Wondering if your phone and/or case is suitable for the nGroove Snap 2? Send our support team an email with the manufacturer name and model, and we’ll give you our best opinion.

I don’t use a case on my phone and I don’t want to stick the badge to it. Can I put the metal badge underneath my battery cover?

The badge actually fits under the battery door of Samsung’s Galaxy S3, but for most other phones this may not be possible.

Will the nGroove Snap 2 hold an iPad?

Due to dimensions and weight, full-size tablets are not recommended for use with the nGroove Snap’s car mounting features. But the nGroove Snap 2 functions great as a desktop stand or tripod adapter for large tablets.

What if my device is too heavy?

You may want to try placing the badge onto the outside of your device case for direct metal-to-magnet contact. If your device still does not hold adequately, please contact support for alternative product recommendations.

Will magnets erase the data on my phone?

Most mobile devices available today use SD cards or solid state drives. But if your device uses a spinning hard-drive, such as an early generation iPod, the nGroove Snap can erase its data.

Will magnets erase the music on my iPod?

Early generation iPods that use a spinning hard-drive can be erased by the nGroove Snap! Newer iPods or MP3 players that use solid state drives and/or SD cards are fine for use with the nGroove Snap.

Will magnets interfere with GPS functions?

The nGroove Snap 2 should not interfere with your device’s GPS applications, as they rely primarily on satellites, but we do on some occasions receive user reports of GPS interference - specifically with compass functions.

Will magnets interfere with NFC functions?

Individuals who rely on near field communication (NFC) for radio communication, including data exchange, may experience impaired function for this process when a device is docked on the nGroove Snap 2. Avoid placing the nGroove Snap metal badge directly over the NFC chip located on your device.

Will magnets interfere with compass functions?

Compass functions can be impaired by a magnetic field. Please be aware of this when using the compass on your device.

If I stick the badge to the back of my device, can it be removed?

We use 3M tape for the strongest hold, but the easiest method to remove a badge is to gently warm the sticky adhesive with a blow dryer. Please use common sense, and don’t melt your device by excessive heat!

Where is the best place to place the metal badge?

We typically recommend placing the metal badge underneath your mobile phone case. In this situation, the badge’s sticky adhesive may not be necessary and you can even leave its protective film on. But for larger devices (such as the iPad Mini) or phones with thick/heavy cases, the best option will be to apply the badge directly to the back of the device or case for direct metal-to-magnet contact.

How do I prevent the screen on my Android phone with “S-View” functionality turning off when I attach it to the Snap 2?

Samsung’s S-View feature is designed to allow phones such as the Galaxy S4 Mini to turn on and off automatically when they are installed in an S-View compatible case and when the cover of the case is opened and closed. This is achieved through magnets, hence the magnet in the Snap 2 can interfere with the S-View functionality. The solution is to reposition the metal badge on a different part of the rear of the phone, e.g. slightly further toward the bottom.
