- Legal “commercial holder” as required by all Australian states and territories.
- Use with with any Bluetooth car kit or inbuilt Bluetooth in your vehicle.
- Incorporates built-in fixed USB-C connector. Just slide your iPhone into the holder so that the connector inserts into the iPhone to keep it charged – especially essential if using Apple Maps or Google Maps.
- Embedded multi-band passive antenna for enhanced 3G/4G/5G and WiFi reception with 3dB gain. Covers 700-3600MHz frequency range; specifically tuned for Australian networks. Comes with SMA female connector for external antenna connection, to further boost reception if required.
- If you wish to connect an external antenna, and you have an existing older antenna with FME connector, you will also need a FME (M) to SMA (M) adaptor. More information about antenna connection functionality is here.
- This holder is made specifically for the iPhone 16. It does not fit the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Plus or iPhone 16 Pro Max – there are separate holders for those models. Please make sure you order correctly.
When the best in mobile coverage is required, choose Strike Alpha. This Australian made holder has been engineered to withstand Australian conditions.
Its unique design allows the phone to sit flush against the passive antenna coupler that is built into the cradle, providing superior signal optimising performance. Note that it in most areas it does not actually require an external antenna to be connected, however this facility can be useful for low-signal and remote areas.
The holder accepts 12/24 volt charging with voltage spike protection. It is fully pass-thru compatible with all of the data pins active allowing you to use your Strike Alpha Holder with your USB-enabled in-car entertainment unit, car kit, or your computer! Every Strike Alpha Holder comes with a 3 year unlimited km warranty.
This holder is designed for use with your iPhone fitting into it without a case or cover. There are other Strike Holders that allow for various covers and cases – check our product listings.
There are two package options when ordering this holder: the Installer package includes a Swivel Mount and hardwired charger (so is most suitable for professional installation); the DIY package includes a Windscreen/Dash Suction Mount and dual cigarette lighter charger.
IMPORTANT: Although generally sturdy and reliable, suction mounts may lose their adhesion to the windscreen or other mounting surface if the vehicle’s inside temperature exceeds 50 deg C (outside temperature > 30 deg C), or if the surface being adhered to is dirty or uneven, or if the road conditions are unduly rough or corrugated; as a result they may occasionally dislodge or fall off due to suddenly or eventually losing suction. Thus for maximum long-term stability and security in all conditions we usually recommend ordering the ‘Installer’ version of this holder, because it includes a fixed rotating swivel mount instead of a windscreen suction mount. It is also possible to order the swivel mount separately.
