Your phone finally has a home in the GX550. This holder bonds to the trim beside the centre stack and holds your Apple MagSafe or Samsung magnetic charger exactly where your eyes and hand already go: high enough to glance at navigation, low enough to stay out of the way, and angled toward the driver. It's shaped to follow the GX550's factory trim surface, so it looks like it came with the car, not like something bolted onto it.
The 12V port stays free. Most GX550 charger mounts plug into the 12V socket to hold themselves up. This one doesn't touch it, so the port stays open for a high-output USB-C car adapter. That's what lets the newest MagSafe charger run at its full 25W.
Why it's different
-
Made for this car only. We designed it from a precision 3D scan of the GX550's dash trim. The underside follows the trim's real surface, its edge runs along the factory groove, and the base tapers to thin edges at the sides and rear so it blends in.
-
Clean, dedicated spot. Your phone snaps on magnetically and sits angled toward the driver. You can see the screen at a glance, and the infotainment screen and the controls you use while driving stay in reach.
-
Keeps the 12V port open. The holder bonds to the trim, not the socket. Plug a 30W or larger USB-C adapter into the 12V port and the latest MagSafe charger can deliver up to 25W to a compatible iPhone.
-
Hidden cable. The charger cable runs through the inside of the holder and comes out low on the dash side. The stem is hollow, so you can tuck the spare cable inside instead of leaving a loop hanging.
-
Charger sits flush. The cup is sized to the charger puck, so the charger sits flush with the face and the phone sits flat on it.
-
Tough matte finish. It's made from a resilient engineering plastic that flexes a little instead of cracking. The low-sheen matte surface cuts glare, hides fingerprints and light scuffs, and matches the satin look of the factory trim. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth or an alcohol wipe.
-
No modifications. You don't drill, screw, pry off trim or wire anything. If you remove it later, the car goes back to stock.
Ready-to-install kit
- SeverForm GX550 charger holder, with 3M VHB tape pre-applied in recesses under the base. It's the same tape we use on all our parts, and it stays out of sight once the holder is installed.
- Alignment spacer, which sets the holder in exactly the designed position
- 2 extra 3M VHB strips to hold the charger in the cup, if you need them
- Alcohol prep pad for cleaning the trim
Not included: the MagSafe charger and the 12V USB-C car adapter. This is the holder only, so you can use the charger you already own, or pick up the official one.
Compatible chargers
-
Apple MagSafe Charger, braided cable: the newer charger with the woven cable, which supports up to 25W.
- Samsung Magnet Wireless Charger (EP-P2900)
It doesn't fit the original Apple MagSafe Charger with the smooth rubber cable.
Works with any MagSafe iPhone (iPhone 12 and later) or a phone in a MagSafe or magnetic case. Galaxy phones need a magnetic case to hold on the charger. Charging speed depends on your phone, charger and adapter. For the full 25W, use the braided MagSafe charger with an iPhone 16 or later and a 30W or larger USB-C car adapter.
Set up in about 10 minutes
-
Fit the charger. Press your charger into the cup with its cable in the notch at the bottom. It's a snug friction fit. If it isn't tight enough for you, add the included VHB strips behind the charger.
-
Route the cable. Feed the USB-C end into the hole just below the notch. It comes straight out of the lower hole on the dash side. Tuck any spare cable inside the hollow stem.
-
Clean the trim. Wipe the mounting area with the included alcohol pad and let it dry.
-
Line it up. Set the alignment spacer in the trim groove in front of the mounting spot. Lower the holder with its edge along the groove and slide it forward until it rests against the spacer. Dry-fit it first with the liners still on.
-
Stick it down. Peel the 3M liners, set the holder back against the spacer, and press it down firmly from front to back. Slide the spacer out.
-
Let it cure. Plug in your adapter and give the tape 24 hours to build full strength before you load it.
Coming off is just as easy
Nothing on the car is changed. To remove the holder, apply a little rubbing alcohol along the edge and gently peel it away. Any leftover adhesive rolls off with your thumb, and the trim should be left clean.
Fitment
