Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)
I’m always glad to review iOttie products, and we had a chance to see them at CES 2024. It feels like we review a lot of their products, and much of it is for car-related accessories for smartphones. The Auto Sense 2 Dash and Windshield Mount is made for some great convenience.
There are several things that I can praise about this product. One of them is the reason why it is called the Auto Sense, and I am assuming the 2 implies it is a sequel. Basically, if you put your smartphone in front of the Auto Sense 2, the silent servo motor will operate and will open to accept the device.
I recommend just watching this in the video, because it is very, very impressive. Once you put your phone on that automated cradle, it will close up. And, if your phone is Qi-enabled, this will be charging your phone. It charges the iPhone at 7.5 W, the Samsung Galaxy at 10W, and the Google Pixel at 15 W.
Now, just to let you know, you do have to attach the charging cord to this guy, so you might need to get some kind of adapter if your car doesn’t have a spare USB port near the dash.
In addition to the charging, which has a special vent to dissipate heat for efficiency, the arm that holds the phone can extend from 4.5 to 6.75 inches. It also rotates at a 260 degree arc, and the cradle can rotate 360 degrees, so you can view the smartphone in portrait or landscape mode.
Facts About The Company
I have to admit that I thought iOttie is a newer company than I thought. According to the “About Us”, the company started in 2010, when smartphones were starting to become the mainstream as far as mobile communication goes.
The company of iOttie began to innovate for the modern smartphone generation, and this includes creating new types of wireless chargers, power banks, and dash cams. The company is committed to sustainability, and “treating each new product as a work of art”. I think iOttie lives its principles, really.
What Does This Company Make?
Like I said before, they have wireless chargers, power banks, and dash cams. Their automobile accessories are equipped for MagSafe, and are Alexa Assisted as well. As far as home and on the go, they are good for wireless chargers and wall chargers.

Maybe I Want It, But Is There Anything Else Like It? Maybe For A Lower Price? Please?
Well, the only mount that I found that I had reviewed also belonged to Scosche, and it was pretty good. Oh, I also reviewed another iOttie product. So, yeah, I’ve reviewed iOttie and Scosche, a lot.
