It’s the iOttie CD-slot phone mount. I’ve got a 6-disc changer that I use, but in which I don’t often change disks thanks to MP3 playback (same 6 disks I put in there over 4 years ago. And my 1G iPod still has the same music from 2002 in case you were wondering). Will having this installed still let me play back these CDs? Any damage to the drive? I have an iPhone 6S Plus in a Mophie (who comes up with these names? iOttie? Mophie?) battery case, so it has a fair amount of heft.
I like my current iOttie mount, but I’m trying to free up some space for that OBD2 widget or a display for a backup camera, and I don’t want to damage my CD player or have something that will drop my phone. The reviews on Amazon look pretty good, but I was hoping to talk to someone with real world experience with this widget.

I’ve used ones like it and haven’t noticed any damage but haven’t tried to play a disc with it in. I think it would work but not positive.

Have one similar, and yes you can still use the CD drive. It only sticks in a few mm and uses pressure to hold the cradle into the slot.

I have a similar one that works great, but if course blocks the stereo. Location security in the CD slot is good but not great. Rough roads or driveway transitions will rattle it out. A recent rental Focus had a deep tapered CD slot that prevented it from working at all. However, magnetic phone mounting is awesome!

I have used the cd slot mount with no ill effect since 2011. I did however switch mounts about 3 months ago for a wireless charging mount. Not I am on an air vent with an iPitaka mount.
