The W177 A-Class uses Mercedes’ signature turbine-style air vents - round barrels that rotate in their housings. Vent-clip mounts designed for slat vents cannot grip these; look for turbine-vent-specific clips (some brands offer Mercedes-specific fitments), or default to adhesive dash or console mounts.

What to look for on the listing
- Standard slat-vent clips DO NOT WORK - look for Mercedes-specific turbine-vent clips.
- Adhesive dash mounts install cleanly on the flat sections either side of the twin-screen cluster.
- AMG Line and above have factory Qi charging.
- 2023 facelift moved to physical steering wheel buttons but did not touch the vents.
- Hatch and Saloon share dashboards; mount fit is body-agnostic.
Frequently asked questions
Do Mercedes’ own dealer phone cradles fit the turbine vents?
Some do - Mercedes sells a dealer accessory cradle that clips onto the vent barrel. Fitment is precise but the cradle is a fixed height and does not adjust much.
Do A 250 e PHEV mounts differ from petrol?
No. Battery packaging is under the boot; the dashboard is identical.
