Could this be mounted on curved surfaces? The dashboard on my car does not have a whole lot of flat surfaces to mount something with a suction cup.

This mount should be able to work on curved and sloping surfaces and the included pegs help to stabilize and level the mount. We have a 30-day return policy in the event it isn't compatible with your vehicle. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

I think you could glue the suction cup on your dash but it will be ugly when you remove it. I don't think the suction cup will stick to the dash.

I drive a 94 Nissan Pickup with a curved dash and have no problems with my mount. It comes with a little stick on piece that you can attach the mount by the little tab at the back. I have not done this and have had no problems. The mount is heavy enough to stay put. My dash is "textured" if that would mean anything.

Probably. I paid to have it installed and did not know that a suction device came with it. I probably would have had them do that. Mine was mounted on my dash but the dash is curved so only the two top screws were used and the bottom two are not secured thus making the screen kinda' wobbly. And in that it was installed on my ashtray, it hangs down too low and is hard for me to see easily. Heck!!!! I'd try the suction device first and if that does not work for you, then you can always put it on the dash. Good luck!!

No, it can only be mounted on a level, horizontal surface. It does not appear to work at all in a moving car however.

I have a Toyota Sienna with a curved dash. I mounted about six month ago or more when I bought it and it never fell off. Just clean and dry the area where you plan to mount it. Is a great product.

It comes with essentially a flat mount- not enough of a curve to be considered one- It doesn't stick very well.

It works well when the surface of contact between the dash board and the bound is large. Usually, this means that the area of the dash board where you place the mount should be as flat as possible or even concave (i.e., downwards). If it is convex upwards the friction may be not enough. Also, make sure you dust the dash board surface regularly, otherwise dust sticks to the bottom of the mount and the friction subsides. Then, if you make a sharp turn or accelerate fast, the thing may move or even fall to the floor.

It would depend on the degree of the curve but there is a slight give. You may want to use other screws than those that come with, they are not that long and may not hold well if the curve is noticeable. The metal is light wt enough though that I can use double sided tape to mount it and have not had any problems.

This item comes with two pieces: the "arm" with a suction cup at one end and the disk with adhesive on one side. For attaching to the windshield, you would attach the suction cup directly to the glass. For attaching to a non-flat part of the dashboard, you would first attach the adhesive side of the disk to the dashboard and attach the suction cup to the smooth side of the disk. I would be very surprised if there was another sku offering just the arm with the suction cup. The disk with the adhesive side cannot be adding much to the cost of this item.

Yes it it. However, the surface should be smooth since the mount mechanism is via suction. Alternative you can also use the universal adhesive mount VCT-AM1. Works on any flat surface. -Ely

It depends on where you mount the device. I mounted on the face of the dashboard and it works great. The whole idea with the sticky pad is so it gives you versatility mounting positions.

I don't think so. I have used it on a sloping dashboard without problems. Just make sure you have a good seal between the GPS and the dash mount.

I know that it sticks to the dash and doesn't slid on my car. I don't know how much your dash is sloped but it does grip pretty good. You could buy an additional suction cup window mount.

Not likely. I have not found a dash that can hold a suction-cup yet. It does come with a metal disc (as seen in the pic) that can be stuck to your dash to hold it. Otherwise, just use the windshield.

Yes. If your Dashboard is flat enough to hold the suction. You might get a lot of shaky video by mounting it on the dash though.

You would need a smooth surface like a windshield to mount/stick the suction cup before you can use it For that purpose.
