Holds your handset steady on the dashboard while you follow directions through Nairobi traffic.
Condition: New

The Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 1,300 and brand new and sealed. It pairs a round magnetic ring head with a vacuum suction base, so your phone snaps on and the base grips the dashboard without leaving marks. A folding zinc alloy arm adjusts to the angle you want, and the head turns through 360°, letting you switch between portrait and landscape. The Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount is on the shelf at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can handle it before paying.
Designed for Uber, Bolt and Little drivers, sales reps and anyone who leans on Google Maps or Waze, the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount keeps navigation at eye level. The usual problem is a phone sliding off the seat or a cheap clip that sags over Thika Road potholes. Here the magnets hold the phone in one motion, and a lock ring tightens the suction base. Phones with built-in MagSafe magnets attach directly; others need a magnetic case or a metal ring plate, which is not part of the box. Set your route before moving, because holding a phone while driving is an offence.
Unlike spring-clamp holders sold at River Road stalls, the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount uses a metal arm and a vacuum base that releases cleanly when you change cars. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a mount they can fold away when parking in town, and this one folds down flat. Drivers who prefer side grips over magnets can compare it with the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder at KSh 900. Walk into the store to test the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount with your own phone, or order through WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount
How much is the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount in Kenya?
The Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount costs KSh 1,300 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the mount itself and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you pay only once the parcel is in your hands. It sits KSh 400 above the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder, which uses a gripping cradle on a telescopic arm instead of magnets, and KSh 200 below the Amaya APH-22 Bike Phone Holder made for handlebars.
Does the Amaya APH-40 work with phones that have no MagSafe magnets?
Yes, but a phone without built-in MagSafe magnets needs a magnetic case or a thin metal ring plate on its back before the Amaya APH-40 can hold it. Neither comes in the box. Phones with MagSafe magnets in the body snap straight onto the ring head. Most Android phones and older iPhones fall into the first group, so check yours before buying. At Mascom International we can test the fit with your own phone at the counter, or advise on WhatsApp if you send a photo of your phone and case.
How does the vacuum suction base of the Amaya APH-40 stay on the dashboard?
The Amaya APH-40 uses a round vacuum suction pad with a lock ring that you turn to press out air and seal the base. Turn the ring back to unlock, and the pad lifts away without leaving marks. It holds best on clean, smooth surfaces, so wipe off dust before fitting. Textured or soft-touch dashboards may need a thorough clean first. Heat in a parked car weakens suction over months, so reseating the base now and then helps during hot afternoons in Nairobi or Mombasa.
Is it legal to use the Amaya APH-40 while driving in Kenya?
A fixed mount like the Amaya APH-40 lets you view maps without holding the phone, which matters because holding a phone while driving is an offence in Kenya. NTSA and traffic police enforce this on busy roads such as Mombasa Road and Waiyaki Way. Set your destination on Google Maps or Waze before moving, then glance at the screen the way you check a mirror. Place the mount where it does not block your view of the road. Take calls through the car's hands-free system where you can.
Should I buy the Amaya APH-40 or the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder?
Pick the Amaya APH-40 for one-motion magnetic mounting and a folding metal arm; pick the Amaya APH-13 for side grips that hold a phone without any special case. The APH-13 costs KSh 900 and clamps the phone in a cradle with bottom feet on a telescopic arm. The APH-40 costs KSh 1,300 and needs MagSafe magnets or a magnetic case. Ride-hailing drivers who mount and remove the phone many times a day often lean toward magnets. Drivers who share a car between several phones may find grips simpler.
Can the Amaya APH-40 rotate between portrait and landscape?
Yes, the magnetic head of the Amaya APH-40 turns through 360°, so you can switch from portrait for chats to landscape for maps in a second. The folding arm also tilts up and down, letting you set the screen at eye level in a saloon car or a taller SUV. Once set, the zinc alloy joints keep their position over bumps and speed humps. When you park, fold the arm down flat so the mount sits low and draws less attention from anyone passing the car in town.
Who should buy the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount, and who should skip it?
The Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount suits drivers with MagSafe phones or magnetic cases who want quick mounting and a fold-away arm. Uber and Bolt drivers, field sales teams and estate agents driving between viewings fit this profile well. Skip it if you dislike cases and your phone has no magnets; the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder grips the phone directly for KSh 900. Boda boda and delivery riders should skip it too, because the Amaya APH-22 Bike Phone Holder is built for handlebars.
Can I move the Amaya APH-40 between different cars?
Yes, the vacuum base of the Amaya APH-40 unlocks with a twist of the ring and lifts off cleanly, so moving it between a family car and a work vehicle takes seconds. Because it relies on suction rather than adhesive tape or screws, it leaves no glue or holes behind. That suits people who rent cars, share a vehicle, or switch between a personal car and a company pool car. Wipe the new surface clean before pressing the base down, then turn the ring to lock it in place.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Mounting
- Magnetic ring head — the phone snaps on in one motion, so you can mount and go without fiddling with clamps or springs.
- Vacuum suction base — grips smooth dashboards and windscreens by pressing out air, and leaves no adhesive marks when removed.
- Lock and unlock ring on the base — turn it one way to tighten the seal and the other way to release the mount.
- 360° rotating head — swing between portrait and landscape to suit chats, calls or turn-by-turn navigation on the road.
- Folding arm — tilts to set the screen at eye level and folds down flat for storage when you park.
Compatibility
- Described on the box as universal for mobile phones — any phone works once it has magnets in the body or a magnetic case.
- Phones with built-in MagSafe magnets attach directly to the ring head, with no extra plate or accessory needed.
- Phones without magnets need a magnetic case or a metal ring plate, and neither is included with the mount.
- Fits clean, smooth dashboards and windscreens; textured or soft-touch surfaces may need a thorough wipe before fitting.
- Suits saloons, hatchbacks, SUVs and vans, because the folding arm adjusts the height and angle of the head.
Build and Materials
- Zinc alloy construction — a dense metal that feels solid in the hand and resists the sag common in thin plastic holders.
- Round magnetic head — a disc shape that sits behind the phone without covering the buttons or the screen edges.
- Round vacuum pad — a wide circular base that spreads its grip across the surface for a steadier hold over bumps.
- Folding joints — keep their set angle on rough roads, so the screen does not drift downward mid-journey.
- Mark-free suction — the base lifts away without residue, protecting dashboards in leased, shared or company vehicles.
Installation and Care
- Clean the spot with a dry or slightly damp cloth before fitting, since dust is the main cause of weak suction.
- Press the base flat, then turn the lock ring to seal it — no tools, screws or tape are needed.
- Heat in a parked car weakens suction over time, so reseat the base now and then during hot months.
- Place the mount clear of your view of the road, then set your route before driving off.
- Fold the arm down when leaving the car to keep the mount low and out of the way.
Inclusions
- The mount itself as one assembled unit — magnetic head, folding arm and vacuum base, brand new and sealed.
- No magnetic case or metal ring plate in the box — owners of non-magnetic phones need one of these first.
- Holds the phone only — the box describes no wireless charging, so power the phone with a separate car charger and cable.
- Backed by Mascom International's 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use.
- Available to test in store with your own phone before you pay, at our Kimathi Street shop in Nairobi CBD.
