Some say the mount only lays securely on flat dashboards. Doesn't the mount flex to fit typical mild-curving dashboards?

The base does flex a bit. And, it is sufficiently heavy and "grippy" that it doesn't move around.

It appears to fit the curve on our dashboard - we haven't used it yet, but I took it out, set it on the dashboard and I think we have a winner.

It sat fine on the dashboard - it was the TomTom that didn't stay on the plate.

i have a jeep patriot, and its some what curvy, this is really heavy, ive tried it on really bumpy roads and my tomtom and the dash mount stayed right in place, didnt even move

I have used the mount in a couple of cars. The Pontiac has a "mild-curving" dash and it works there. The other car is a Subaru, which has a center dip in the dash, and although this area is not flat the mount works okay. The underside is rubbery and sticks to most surfaces.

I have a 2003 Avalanche, which the dash is not flat. The mount will slide around quite a bit. It does get on my nerves. I only use it at times. For a flat dash it looks like it would do great.
871236
Yes. At least it does in the left corner if my honda CRV. I Love the mount.

Will not handle much curve. However, I am using one of the non-slip jell pads that are sold for use on the dash with cell phones. it is thin, so I set the dashboard mount on it and do not have any problem with it slipping or moving.

Yup.. It mounts really well on the dashboard and swivel is fine. Swivel might be bit hard at start. So far the product has worked great for me. No complaints.

I'm afraid you'll have a problem.It works very well for dashboards that have bumps and aren't flat but I don't know if it'll work well with a complete angle.

Yes, in most cars, you'll be able to attach the sticky suction base to the top of the dashboard. In some cars that have a heavily textured dashboard, you may need to use the circular adhesive disk included. If you bring it out towards the front lip or edge of the dash, you'll be able to adjust the arm downward into a position that's convenient for you (very similar to where it would be if you were using an air vent). This is exactly how I use this mount. Love it!

YesThe mat works. I have A fairly uneven dashboard with a less than perfectly smooth surface but the mat seems to get more attached to the dashboard as time goes by.

It does but finding the right placement on my curved windshield has been an issue. Might be better on my dash or somewhere else. But does the job for the price.

Not as such. It pretty much clips onto a vent louver directly and doesn't change angles unless the vent does. It works best when at least two of the feet touching the dash.

You're correct, there is very little curve. This is one thing I dislike about this particular mount.

I don't know what that guy is talking about when he says you have to remove a section of the dash and drill holes. It's a sticky pad for the base and the adapter slides into it. From what I can see your model is a flat screen and like the first person said, if your mount assembly has the ball style attachment then it will absolutely work. I mounted mine right to my dash with the sticky pad and I love it. It's way better than the friction mounts.

I use the suction mount that it came with, I bought a heavy glass ashtray & silicone glued the suction flat to it. makes it more stable & does not tip over. Sits on the dashboard so both of us can see it.

It depends what type of dash you are mounting it into. For a flat dash it could be possible, but don't hold me to that. I mounted mine to the under side of the dash with the supplied mounting hard wear.
2074799
Yes I have mine mounted on dashboard. It comes with a round disk that you stick to the dashboard onto which the suction part clamps.

It supposed to be able to be used over and over again, but I don't use the gel pad. I screwed the mount on my dashboard and that is the strongest placement so far from all the mounts that I had.

Not sure what you dash is like but the Garmin mount is very flexible and easily contours to the curves of most dash board tops. Also the material the base is made out of does not slip at all even if you use pledge type polish on your dash.

Just used it in the backrest...not sure how it would hook up to dashboard, unless you have a special rod to secure it to up front

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

My Trailblazer has a slightly curved dashboard top also along groves all over the surface. To my surprise, it stuck to the surface and still has not come off even with this hot weather. As I previously mentioned, just make sure you wipe the surface down (I used Windex) and let it dry before you mount.
