Home/Universal/Mounts & Stands/EEEKit CD-Slot Car Mount
The EEEKit CD-Slot Car Mount is a fine idea: anchor the phone in an unused CD slot and leave the windshield alone. In cars where it fits, owners say it holds steady and sets up in seconds. Whether it fits your CD slot is the recurring gamble.

One-sentence verdict: Worth it if you have an unused CD slot the mount actually fits and want a phone or small-tablet cradle off the windshield — skip it if your car has no CD slot, a non-standard one, or you want a secure hold for a large phone.
It anchors in a CD slot — assuming your car still has one that fits.

A spring cradle on a ball joint, attached to a wedge that slides into a CD slot and locks with a lever. The concept is sound and, in cars where it fits, owners say it holds well. The execution issues are dimensional: CD-slot sizes and orientations vary more than the listing acknowledges, and the phone clamp does not open as wide as some devices need.
Slide the wedge into the CD slot, turn the locking dial, seat the phone or tablet in the cradle, and angle the ball joint. It is quick — when it fits.
For a car mount, performance is hold strength, vibration resistance, one-hand use and vehicle compatibility. Vehicle compatibility is the failure mode: too many owners cannot get a proper fit. Where it fits, hold and stability are acceptable. One-hand use is average for a spring cradle.
Works with:
Not compatible:
There is no warranty and no meaningful brand support. Owner longevity reports are limited and mixed. Treat it as a budget accessory.
At $15.98 on Amazon (checked August 26, 2026), it is inexpensive, but the value is entirely conditional on it fitting your car and your phone.
If you have confirmed your car has a standard, unused CD slot and your phone-plus-case fits the clamp, it is a reasonable, low-cost option. If either is uncertain, a vent or windshield mount is the safer buy. We would call it a fair buy under about $12.

| Product | Best for | Key advantage | Main drawback | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EEEKit CD-Slot Car Mount (this mount) | A CD-slot cradle that keeps the windshield clear | Cheap, easy setup, holds well where it fits | Frequently does not fit; clamp too narrow for some phones | $15.98 |
| iOttie Easy One Touch Signature | A universal cradle for any car | One-hand trigger, fits any case, 2-year warranty | Suction depends on your dashboard | $24.95 |
| iOttie iTap 3 Magnetic Dash Mount | A small magnetic mount | Snap-on hold, compact | Needs MagSafe or the included ring adapter | $19.99 |
A vent or dashboard mount does not depend on your car having a fitting CD slot. The iOttie Easy One Touch or iTap 3 are safer, better-supported choices for most cars. Prices are Amazon figures from August 26, 2026.
The EEEKit CD-Slot Car Mount is a fine idea — anchor the phone in an unused CD slot and leave the windshield alone — and in cars where it fits, owners say it holds steady and sets up in seconds.
The problem is how often it does not fit. CD-slot sizes and orientations vary, the clamp is too narrow for some phones-plus-cases, and a meaningful minority of owners bluntly warn others off. With no warranty and no brand support, the risk sits entirely with you. Its 3.0 score reflects a product that works when the stars align and disappoints when they do not. A vent or dashboard mount is the safer bet.

Not always. The clamp openings are reported as too narrow for some phone-plus-case combinations.
No. There is no charging built in.
In cars where it fits properly, owners say it holds steady. Fit is the variable, not the hold.
No warranty is stated and there is no meaningful brand support.
A vent or dashboard mount such as the iOttie Easy One Touch or iTap 3 — neither depends on your car having a fitting CD slot.
