The Fidlock VACUUM Car Suction Base revolutionizes smartphone use in the car thanks to its patented system combining magnetic force and air vacuum suction. Designed for ultra-secure windshield mounting, this holder brings full automotive versatility to the VACUUM system: GPS navigation, audio streaming, voice commands—everything becomes accessible with one hand in seconds.

Technical Summary

The VACUUM Car Suction Base consists of three key elements: a main suction cup with quick-release lever for the windshield, a 360° adjustable ball joint allowing precise viewing angle adjustment, and a manual magnetic suction cup that holds the smartphone. The assembly weighs only 101 grams and comes fully pre-assembled, requiring no tools. Made from a composite of reinforced polyamides, silicone and technical thermoplastics (PA66GF, PA6, PCABS, TPU, ABS, PVC, PU), it guarantees robustness and longevity even under intensive use conditions.

Technical Highlights

• Dual air vacuum mounting system: The windshield suction cup ensures flawless hold even on difficult roads, while the magnetic smartphone suction cup creates an air vacuum as soon as forces exceed magnetic attraction—the smartphone remains secured to the mount regardless of vibrations or acceleration.
• Intuitive one-hand operation: The VACUUM system allows you to connect and disconnect the smartphone with a simple gesture. A side lever instantly releases the magnetic suction cup, while the notched ball joint prevents any involuntary rotation while driving.
• Universal VACUUM compatibility: Works with all dedicated VACUUM cases (iPhone, Samsung) and universal VACUUM patches compatible with any smartphone model—a complete ecosystem that extends from bicycle to office to automotive.
• 360° rotation with indexing: The adjustable ball joint allows free adjustment of smartphone angle (portrait, landscape, custom tilts). The notched mechanism prevents accidental rotation during braking or tight turns.
• No electronic interference: The high-performance neodymium magnets of the VACUUM system are positioned to generate no disruption of GPS signal, mobile network, NFC or wireless charging.

Design and Ergonomics

With compact dimensions of 73 × 95 × 125 mm, the VACUUM base integrates discreetly on the windshield without obstructing visibility. The quick-release lever of the main suction cup allows easy repositioning of the mount as needed (vehicle change, windshield cleaning, sharing between drivers). The adjustable ball joint offers optimal range of motion to position the screen facing the driver or passenger. Selected materials—soft silicone for suction cups, glass fiber reinforced polyamides for structural elements—guarantee maximum adhesion and resistance to extreme temperatures (overheated cabin in summer, winter cold).

Use and Compatibility

The VACUUM Car Suction Base is delivered fully pre-assembled, ready to use straight out of the box. However, it requires separate purchase of a dedicated VACUUM case (available for many iPhone and Samsung models) or a universal VACUUM patch adhesive that adapts to any smartphone. Once the case or patch is installed, connection to the mount becomes instant: magnetic centering guides the smartphone into position, then the suction cup automatically creates an air vacuum that secures the mount even under high stress. To release the smartphone, simply press the side lever—a smooth, fast and intuitive operation.

Application Areas

• Automotive GPS navigation: Ideal for transforming the smartphone into a large-screen GPS, with direct touch access to navigation commands (Waze, Google Maps, Apple Maps…).
• Streaming and communication: Allows control of music apps, podcasts, or management of hands-free calls while keeping the screen visible.
• Multi-vehicle versatility: Thanks to the quick-release suction cup, the mount installs and removes in seconds to switch from one vehicle to another (personal car, company vehicle, rental).
• Complete VACUUM ecosystem: Perfectly complements VACUUM handlebar mounts, desk mounts or car vent mounts—one smartphone case, dozens of mounting possibilities.
