Having a very hard time imagining how the phone doesn’t slide around with every acceleration, braking and turn.

It’s a rubber material so grip is ok and magnetic so hold the phone. A harsh turn may displace it but no issues so far. Also it’s a lid so you don’t loose the space under.

Depending on how grippy your case is it can move about a bit on hard turns, but I’ve also done long journeys where it’s sat in place for 2-3 hours at a time.

The Induktiv is a great combo with wireless CarPlay, and works way better than the G series OEM charger. This one charges your phone without making it crazy hot. On those long drives it’s adding about 20% every hour even with the GPS, music streaming etc.

Did a little video of the install here:

Agree with Matt here one of the best ones on the market and no issues for me. Easy install or for the less able book a slot at Evolve if in the UK.

Great thing is you don’t loose the function of the lid either!

Must admit I don’t use the cubby beneath but it’s nice not losing the functionality.
