Finding the right Mercedes-Benz CLE phone mounts takes a bit more thought than most vehicles, mainly because the CLE Coupe and Cabriolet share their dashboard and 12.3 inch digital display with the C-Class, but the badge and trim details are different enough that not every C-Class mount is confirmed to fit.
Whether you drive the CLE 300, CLE 450, or the AMG CLE 53, the good news is that the interior gives you two solid mounting paths: a screen-frame clip that uses the bezel around the 12.3 inch display, or a windshield and dashboard mount that skips the screen entirely. Below are four mounts we’ve confirmed for this cabin, two custom-fit and two universal, along with notes on which one fits your situation best.

Why the CLE’s Interior Changes Your Mounting Options
The CLE Coupe and Cabriolet replaced both the outgoing C-Class Coupe and E-Class Coupe, and the interior reflects that. Mercedes carried over the C-Class dashboard layout almost directly, including the 12.3 inch digital display that sits front and center in the instrument cluster area. That shared design is good news for phone mount shopping, since it means the screen-frame clip mounts built for the current C-Class and GLC generally carry over to the CLE without modification.
The vents are a different story. The CLE uses the round, turbine-style “jet” vents that Mercedes has used across its recent lineup, and these do not accept a standard spring-loaded vent clip the way older slat-style vents do. If you have tried a generic vent mount in a recent GLC or E-Class and had it slip or refuse to seat, you already know why we are not recommending one here. Instead, the best Mercedes-Benz CLE phone mounts on this list either clip to the display bezel or attach to the windshield and dashboard, both of which give a far more secure hold in this cabin.
Masergogo Auto Clamp Screen Mount
This is the mount to start with if you would rather clamp your phone in place than rely on a magnet. It attaches to the frame around the 12.3 inch display using adjustable clamping arms rather than adhesive or a magnetic plate, so there is nothing permanently stuck to the trim. The listing specifically covers the CLE-Class for 2024 through 2026, along with the current C-Class and GLC generations, which matters because a lot of screen-frame mounts on Amazon only list the C-Class and assume the CLE will fit.
The clamp uses a quick-release button, and Masergogo states it takes about 0.3 seconds to lock or release the phone once you get the motion down. Because it is a mechanical clamp rather than a magnet, it works with any phone and any case thickness, including heavier cases that would otherwise weaken a magnetic hold. Installation does not affect the display’s touch function, and the mount sits close enough to the trim that it does not block your view of the gauge cluster.
MaserWeller MagSafe Screen Mount
If you carry a MagSafe-compatible iPhone, this is the simpler alternative to the clamp above. It uses the same 12.3 inch screen-frame attachment point, but instead of clamping arms it holds the phone with a magnetic plate, so attaching or removing the phone is a single motion rather than a squeeze-and-release. The listing confirms fitment for the CLE-Class 2024 through 2026 alongside the C-Class and GLC, and it includes a metal ring in the box so non-MagSafe phones can still use the magnetic hold.
Because there is no cradle mechanism, this mount has a lower profile than a clamp-style holder, which some CLE owners prefer given how tight and finished the coupe’s dash already looks. The trade-off is the usual one with magnetic mounts: if your case is unusually thick or does not have embedded MagSafe magnets, the hold will be noticeably weaker than a mechanical clamp.
iOttie Easy One Touch 6
Not everyone wants a mount clipped to the display bezel, even a low-profile one, and the CLE’s cabin is nice enough that some owners would rather keep that area completely untouched. The iOttie Easy One Touch 6 is a windshield and dashboard suction mount that solves that problem. The telescopic arm extends from 5 to 6.75 inches and pivots 260 degrees, so you can position the phone well away from the display while still keeping it in your sightline.
The cradle opens with a single press and closes automatically around the phone, which matters if you are getting in and out of the CLE frequently. The adjustable bottom foot accommodates phones of different sizes and cases, and a built-in cord management channel keeps a charging cable from dangling across the console. This is also the mount we’d point to if you ever want to move your setup to a second vehicle, since it does not depend on the CLE’s specific screen dimensions.
Strong Magnetic Dashboard Mount
This is the budget-friendly universal option, and it is worth calling out specifically because the CLE’s round jet vents rule out a vent clip. This mount is sold as an air vent or dashboard holder, but given the CLE’s vent style, we recommend using the adhesive dashboard placement rather than trying to clip it to a vent. Once mounted to a flat section of the dash, it holds any smartphone magnetically and rotates a full 360 degrees for quick switching between portrait and landscape.
It is not a vehicle-specific mount, so the fit and finish will not match the screen-frame options above, but it is a reasonable stopgap if you want something in place today while you decide between the two custom mounts, or if you regularly swap the mount between multiple cars. The adhesive pad holds well on the CLE’s dash trim, and because the mount head rotates independently of the base, you can angle the phone toward the driver’s seat without repositioning the whole unit.
How to Choose the Right Mercedes-Benz CLE Phone Mounts
Start by deciding whether you are comfortable with a mount attached to the display bezel. Both the Masergogo clamp and the MaserWeller magnetic mount use that attachment point and are confirmed for the CLE, so either one is a safe choice if you like a compact, close-to-the-dash setup. From there, the decision comes down to clamp versus magnet: choose the clamp if you switch phones often or use a heavier case, and choose the magnetic mount if you are on a MagSafe iPhone and want the fastest possible attach and release.
If you would rather avoid the display area altogether, the iOttie windshield and dashboard mount is the better starting point, and it has the added benefit of transferring easily to another vehicle later. The universal magnetic dashboard mount is worth keeping in mind as a lower-cost fallback, but skip trying to use it on a vent in this vehicle since the round jet vents were not designed to hold a spring clip securely.
One more thing worth checking before you order: confirm which body style and model year you have. The CLE 300, CLE 450, and AMG CLE 53 all share the same dashboard and 12.3 inch instrument display across Coupe and Cabriolet, so trim level does not change which mount you need. What does matter is sticking to a listing that names the CLE-Class by year, since Mercedes has been known to make small trim revisions between model years that shift a bezel by a few millimeters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CLE Cabriolet use the same mounts as the Coupe?
Yes. Both body styles share the same dashboard, instrument cluster, and 12.3 inch display, so the mounts on this page work the same way whether you drive the Coupe or the Cabriolet.
Will a mount made for the C-Class fit my CLE?
Some will, since the two vehicles share a dashboard, but do not assume compatibility just because a listing mentions the C-Class. Look for a listing that specifically names the CLE-Class, like the two screen-frame mounts featured above, before buying.
Can I use a vent mount in the CLE?
We do not recommend it. The CLE’s round jet-style vents are not built to hold a standard spring-loaded vent clip securely, which is why every mount on this page attaches to the display bezel, the windshield, or the dashboard instead.
What if my phone case is too thick for the magnetic mount?
Use the Masergogo clamp instead. It holds the phone with mechanical pressure rather than a magnet, so case thickness is not a concern.
