Scosche Pro Charge5 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger - Secure Fast Charge

In this review the Scosche Pro Charge5 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger is evaluated as a practical in-car charging solution for drivers who want a tidy, magnetic mount with fast wireless charging. The bottom line: it is best for iPhone users with MagSafe who want a dedicated, powered mount that pairs with ProClip or other AMPS bases, because the magnetic head and integrated 5-ft charging cable deliver convenience and reliable placement on most drives. Non-MagSafe phones can work too if the included MagicPlate is used correctly.

Key Features

• 15W wireless charging: Charges Qi-enabled phones up to 15W when the device supports higher wireless power, giving faster top-up times than standard 5W chargers.
• MagSafe car mount: The magnetic head secures MagSafe iPhone models without an extra plate so the phone docks quickly and stays stable on typical road surfaces.
• MagicPlate for non-MagSafe phones: Includes a thin MagicPlate to attach to a case for secure magnetic grip with heavier or older phones such as many Android models.
• AMPS mounting compatibility: Designed to attach to ProClip vehicle-specific mount bases and other AMPS plates for a custom, stable installation (mount base not included).
• Reliable power delivery: Fixed 5-ft charging cable connects to the supplied car charger and leaves a bonus 20W USB-C PD port for fast charging a second device.
• Safety features: Foreign Object Detection helps prevent overheating by shutting off charging if metal objects are detected near the coil.

Who It's For

This mount is ideal for drivers who use MagSafe-capable iPhone models (iPhone 12 and newer) and want a clean, magnetic docking point paired with a vehicle-specific AMPS base. It suits commuters and delivery drivers who need their phone visible for navigation and prefer a wired power source with an integrated cable and bonus USB-C PD port.

Shoppers who primarily use larger Android phones or older iPhones should consider whether they are comfortable placing the included MagicPlate on their case, as some customers reported mixed adhesion or grip with non-MagSafe setups. Also note that an AMPS mounting plate or compatible ProClip base is required and is not included.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Charging performance and magnetic adhesion can vary by phone and case; some users reported inconsistent charging or weak adhesive on the plate.
