A car CD slot mount includes an installing unit having a front side, a rear side, first and second inserts extend outwardly from the front side in a staggered manner to define an acute angle greater than 5 degrees. The installing unit further has upper and lower sides defining upper and lower regions respectively, wherein the upper region has a bottom surface formed with a sliding channel while the lower region has a bottom surface formed with a coupling channel. A fixing unit includes a fixing element and a location adjustment element having a sliding block disposed slidably in the sliding channel and extends upward at partially from the rear side in such a manner to link up with the fixing element, which holds a personal electronic device stably therein. A bendable support bar is coupled detachably to the coupling channel of the installing unit.
