I’ve tried many different mounts in the G80. The best one is the Belkin vent mount that a few of use are using. I keep it on the right vent and it doesn’t block anything. The cable can be run along the passenger side and plugged into the glove box or rear USB-C. I’ve had a pro clip, magbak and a few others. They all had annoyances. Blocking buttons or not being able to use a drink holder. Go back a few pages for some pics of the Belkin magnetic mount. Good luck.

I figured it out. Still waiting for my MagBaK wireless charger but the hard work is done.

The Belkin mount attaches flawlessly and does not move. And no issues with A/C here in South Florida.

I wasn’t a fan of older Vent mounts either. I had them in our past BMWs and they moved around a lot/scratched the Vents. The Belkin one is really good. Doesn’t move and has padding so no scratches. After a few failed attempts to find a suitable spot for my Magbak and proclip mounts I ended up shit canning them and went for the Belkin. Super happy with it.

Finally received my MagBak fast charger. I’m really happy with the finished product.

Only been a few days but based on how it “pulls” the phone in when you get close to it I doubt I’ll have any issues.
Here is my final setup. |

I've got the same outlet you show, and my Rennline mount arrives today. Going to see if that's the direction I want to go or if I am going to end up using something else. Glad it's finally getting here though! |

So the Rennline mount showed up today...at least one piece. The magnet and the ball socket did...but not the actual mounting bracket. JFC.

Rennline shipped me the rest of the mount. Unfortunately there is not a way to mount it where the phone is out of the way of the cup holders. I tried multiple configurations. So I will be returning.

I use these
https://www.proclipusa.com/ They are made in America, have interchangeable parts, are damn near bullet proof, they have different mounting options like the vent, cup holder, A pillar etc. Depending on the car. Pricier than cheap Amazon stuff but it creates jobs and supports a US business, when I have called for options or support they are always easy to understand and quick to help. I run these in all my cars now. |

Below is the picture I took of the mount with a MagSafe charger. The combination just seemed to stick out too far. The MagBak was better for my needs.
