This mount does not work well. It looks bad, falls off my window, and is just plain awkward.
It was returned. Not recommended.
You should try the ProClip mounts. They are the best. They are made specific to match your device and car. You buy the device holder and then the car mount that is made specifically for your vehicle. They are wonderful. I bought a set for my iPhone 3G. I Love my ProClipUSA mount.

The suction cup wouldn’t stick to the windshield. Then I tried to mount it to the dash, but the glue on the double-faced tape didn’t hold for even a second. To top it all off, the cable wasn’t long enough to reach the aux input anyway! This is junk! Don’t bother!

Don’t buy this mount. It doesn’t work as advertised.
The suction cup fails to hold on either a windor or the dash “disk” that comes with it. I struggled with it falling off for a few months and then finally threw it in the glove compartment never to be seen again.

The arms move/tilt in a very small angle so the phone/ipod holder does not point at the direction that you might want. I tried the dash mount, my iphone was literally point at the ceiling. Not only that, the suction mount is very weak when mounting on the dash pad provided. Very disappointed with this and I did not keep it for more than a day.

I had high hopes for this product. After having heard a glowing review on a recent podcast I ordered one to use for my 3G Iphone in my 2006 Honda Element. I was anxious to install it when it arrived.
My first issues is that it was practically useless in the Honda Element. I could not find a suitable place on the window to attach and have access to the Iphone. This was mostly due to the angle of the Honda Elements window and not the WindowSeat. After finding a suitable configuration the unit would fall off every 24 hours or so.
I decided I might have better luck with the mounting plate and I installed it next to my shifter. Same problem the suction cup would not stay seated. I would be driving down the road and thud there goes my expensive iphone again. Where is it? Under the brake pad, let’s see if I can reach it before I crash….
After trying another mounting plate, this time on the dash I’m still plagued by the falling Iphone every couple of days.
TWO WEEKS LATER! I’ve finally solved the problem. I used rubber cement to cement the unit to the mounting plate next to the shifter. Works great, no more possible wrecks and the next buyer has a permanent mount for their Iphone.
Hope you have better luck.
