Paradoxically, these vent mount chargers work better in the summer because you have AC cooling the phone off. In the winter, you have to shut that individual vent off to keep from overheating the phone.

We just purchased a 2024 Chevrolet Traverse LT that has both wireless CarPlay and wireless charging. As these features become standardized there will be less of a a market for something like this product, mainly for owners of older vehicles.
The average age of cars on the road today is 12 years so there are quite a few cars out there that don’t have built in wireless chargers

Everything is made from the same country anyways. Same tech different skin.
The difference is that if there's a problem, I can probably get ahold of someone at Satechi. Not so with the Chinese companies that reincorporate with a different name every six months to avoid customer claims.

heat is supposed to come out of the floor vents if you leave it on auto/follow the suggestions from the owners manual.

It all depends on where you want your phone to be visible. My car has a wireless charger but I don’t use it because I can’t easily see or control my device so I use a mount with a usbc cable.
