Question about phone mounting solutions & charging in a 23 C300
Does anyone have any recommendations on mounts or where to mount a phone holder on a 2023 C300?
In the past I've used magnetic mounts; however, I can't find anywhere to mount the thing in the 23 C300. Tried to mount a sticky magnet mount (CellHelmet) where the top of the red line is but it's textured and it's also curved, so it won't stay stuck for a few minutes let alone once the sun hits it. Everything else that I've noticed is curved and looks difficult to stick anything to. Does someone make something magnetic what would connect to the back of the main screen and extend out? Any input would be appreciated.
Mount for reference:
Additionally, I have a Samsung phone and all of my old car chargers are 12V (cigarette lighter), doesn't look like I have on in my C300 only USB-C. Does anyone know how I can get fast charging capability from the USB-C ports in the C300. Special cable or something maybe, or maybe it's not supported?
I have a Samsung Zfold and those phone are hard to "hang" (heavy).
My first solution was a suction cup on the leather of the dashboard that rested on the dashboard itself but occluded 2 vents... but kept the phone from bouncing around too much. I found out the suction cup actually was messing with the dashboard surface so I quickly retired that idea.
Now I keep the phone in the wireless charger and use the main screen with the phone connected to Android auto.

I was able to get my magnetic mount to stick on the silver trim below the red line but it's not great. I'll continue looking for other mounting solutions, might have to go with something like this: https://www.rokform.com/products/dual-magnet-vent-mount
Additionally, even with my charger plugged into the 12v outlet in the passenger footwell my phone still doesn't seem to fast charge, even though it's a fast charger. Maybe it's the amperage power to that outlet? Any ideas?
This solution seems to offer 2 versions for the mount, 1st is for mounting on the top of the red line and the 2nd is the air vent location.
Since I do not have a W206, so I can only guess. You do double check this product for suitability. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004654908438.html
And, regarding sticking onto the back of the Main Driver Display and extending out, here are a few examples:-
