Sexy Buttons resume autopilot function - Brilliant !!

[PriOkkie]

I got this one, just moments before Enhauto started offering their holder:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BPQWXH9T/

It has MagSafe and comes with two adhesive magnet rings to stick to your non-iPhone. I use an old Samsung S10, which does it's job as S3XY dashboard very well.

The advantages over Enhauto's offering are:

• MagSafe support, i.e. easier placement and removal of the phone
• Less intrusive to install. No tools or dissasembly required.
• Much cheaper. I paid €45.90 last year.

The main disadvantage however:

• It's currently unavailable...

MagSafe is a proprietary technology though. I have an iPhone, but it doesn't make much sense for a manufacturer like this to be making something for one phone maker only.

Everything would be the same apart from the head connector. I’m sure they could make a MagSafe option head and it would sell in it’s droves.

Apple basically gave up their patents around magsafe and allowed it to become the Qi2 standard, over the next year or so many Android phones will adopt Qi2 so become compatible.

Ultimately, most of it is just a pattern of magnets.

I have this; https://amzn.eu/d/5pNfb3S and it works great to securely hold and charge the phone, in multiple different positions. OK, it's not directly behind the steering wheel as a 'dash' would be, but in that position you'd need to be reaching through the top of the wheel to do stuff, and I don't think that's a good idea.

I would caution any phone mount designed to attach to the screen, especially as the force needed to remove from the magnet can potentially twist the screen slightly. I've seen Tesla rejecting warranty claims if there is damage (for whatever reason) but evidence of something having been attached that may have caused stress (including a screen protector in one case in the USA).

I use this instead & it's attached to the dash.

That looks quite nice. And ESR makes good quality products.

Yes, I also use their white MagSafe Kickstand wireless charger at home & it's the best I have found. A stronger magnet, longer & removable cable, excellent quality, faster charging & more versatile than the genuine Apple product.

Well, it looks like they are delaying the Highland version of the S3XY knob, again, although funnily enough no communication or posting about the delay.

I am wondering if I should just continue to wait, try and cancel or see if I can swap the order to just buttons instead

 

[Pagemakers]

I wonder if that’s for orders placed now?

 

[yessuz]

it could be for orders placed now as they have order backlog

They have a channel on Discord and they have confirmed they are still on schedule.

 

[SiW80]

Have they posted a pic of the knob in a Highland? Not sure how it would fit due to sliding doors.

I'm not sure how on track they are, I ordered it and a couple of extra buttons back in October
