1. A vent mount comprising:
a base including:
a body;
a back plate coupled to the body along an axis;
an indexable connector configured to selectively control rotation of the body relative to the back plate about the axis;
a retainer coupled to the body and movable along the axis between an extended position for insertion into a vehicle air vent and a retracted position to capture a louver of the vehicle air vent between the retainer and the back plate to hold the vent mount on the vehicle air vent; and
a head coupled to the base,
wherein the indexable connector is movable between a first configuration blocking rotation of the body relative to the back plate and a second configuration allowing rotation of the body relative to the back plate about the axis, and the indexable connector is configured to hold the body in two or more index positions relative to the back plate at a selection of a user,
wherein the indexable connector includes a first detent defined by the body and a second detent defined by the back plate, wherein the second detent engages with the first detent in the first configuration of the indexable connector to block rotation of the body relative to the back plate about the axis, and wherein the back plate is extended away from the body to release a portion of the second detent from a portion of the first detent in the second configuration of the indexable connector to allow rotation of the body relative to the back plate about the axis.
