APPS2Car universal tablet mount for 7-12.4
Product description
Key features
APPS2Car Universal 2 in 1 car mount uses a CD slot fitting to hold a tablet or phone securely, so you can enjoy hands-free navigation and entertainment without taking up your windscreen view. It is designed around road trip practicality, with a full 360° rotation and adjustable swivel for choosing a comfortable viewing angle while you drive or sit in the passenger seat. This approach also helps you keep your dashboard setup tidy, turning a suitable car stereo into a simple display holder for music, navigation and everyday media. 🚗
The mount is built for compatibility with your vehicle’s existing CD player, which means you get a stable screw base grip rather than relying on suction cups. That is especially useful if you often travel with kids or passengers and want the screen positioned where it is easy to read. You can also benefit from the built in cable hole for charging on the go, so your device stays powered during longer drives. 😊

What stands out
The standout idea here is the CD slot integration, which upgrades an older car stereo into a workable display position. By mounting in the CD slot you can free up the windscreen and help keep your forward view clear, which is a big deal for families and road trip planning. The screw base is designed to grip securely even on bumpy roads, and it avoids concerns about suction cups degrading over time. 👍
The adjustable swivel plus full 360° rotation gives you control over the screen angle, so passengers can find a comfortable position for navigation or entertainment. For music playback, navigation guidance and videos, the ability to fine tune the view can reduce distractions and improve readability during short stops too. There is one practical limitation to bear in mind, placing a tablet in the CD slot can obstruct parts of the dashboard such as the radio screen, buttons or AC vents, and larger tablets may block even more.
It is also important to check your vehicle before you install. This car tablet holder needs a car equipped with a CD player, and it is not suitable for vehicles with a curved CD slot, a hidden CD slot, or one placed at the bottom near the gearbox. It also is not compatible with iPad Pro 12.9, 13 versions, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra or S9 Ultra, laptops, portable CarPlay screens, or car tablets, so device size and model matter. ❗
You may also find it helps to think about cable routing and dashboard clearance in advance. The built in cable hole is intended to make charging easier during use, but you should still ensure your device fit does not interfere with controls or vents around the CD slot area. If you prioritise a stable mounting method with a wide angle adjustment for passengers, this is a sensible way to add a screen to your car without reworking your whole dashboard. It makes sense if you want a practical display holder for road trips and everyday car journeys, while you keep in mind the visibility limits around the radio and vents.
Who it’s for
This mount suits drivers, families and passengers who want hands-free navigation and entertainment during journeys, especially where windscreen mounting is not ideal. It is a good choice if you are using an iPad Mini, iPad Air, iPad Pro up to 11 inches, or compatible Samsung tablets and want a dependable tablet stand that stays put on the move. You will like it if you regularly travel with kids and want the screen positioned for comfort using the full 360° rotation.
It may not suit you if your car does not have a CD player or if your CD slot is curved, hidden or located near the gearbox at the bottom. It might not be a great match if you have an iPad Pro 12.9 or 13, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra or S9 Ultra, or you use laptops and portable CarPlay screens in the same setup. If you are happy to check device fit and dashboard clearance, it can be a practical upgrade for older stereos on road trips and day to day drives.
