Is there a way mount this in a car or, say, attach to a sun visor? I'd like to find a way to get rid of earbuds in the car.

Hmm, interesting notion, and the sound would be loud and clear enough to use in a car, but the weight would be bothersome maybe on a sun visor. It's not super heavy, but has a slight heft to it, maybe comparable to the weight of a two pack of D size batteries. But, a bit of creative work could mount it on a dash, maybe get some good old velcro strips or rig up a pouch of some sort on a seat back. I'm not sure of the need...you mentioned getting rid of ear buds, so, yes as a replacement with either Bluetooth or using the plug-in option, it'll serve for in-car speaker use, but figuring out mounting and keeping it charged would have to be solved.

You would have to use zip ties or something.. it would look pretty bad. If you have broad dash or rear deck you could put it there using bluetooth. Short answer, no. It sounds best with the legs spread. We find it really great for skype with the tablet. It is also good with music.

They are loud enough. But there is no stock way to mount them in a car. But i would suggest some double sticky velcro tape and stick it to the dash somewhere.

Not really, it's made to sit on a table or countertop or flat surface. You might be able to put it on the dashboard but it would most likely fall off. Not intended for automotive use.

You can apply some pressure as you mount the unit to the windscreen. Cleaning the silicone surface from time to time does help. Or there may be some temperature differences as when you mount the unit and it then gets exposed to sunlight, where the air inside the mount expands.Anyway, even with a secure mounting, it won't stick forever (over a course of several days), so you might have to remount occasionally.I usually detach the unit whenever I have to park the car in the middle of sunlight for extended number of hours. I didn't do so with my previous unit and it bluetooth appeared to stop functioning as I assumed the electronics should have been worn due to excessive heat.

Best bet is to get a set of custom molded earbuds. Go to a good motorcycle show or MotoGP race and it's common to see companies like Fit-Ear there that will take molds and ship you custom buds (at a crazy level of pricing - some of them get really expensive - what you'll see singers using all the time). They act as both earplugs and earbuds and for riding they're really, really fantastic. I bought one set about 5 years ago that still work well but I decided to 'upgrade' and get a higher end model the next time I got a chance, increasing the number of drivers in each ear. It kills the wind noise and any music I listen to or communication with my passenger is crystal clear. Best bet is to get a set of custom molded earbuds.

If it comes with the carry case that is what you are to use to mount in the car. I purchased my own mount to use for the head rest. To give you a heads up the volume is very low, even when up all the way. When listened with head phones it is not a problem. I purchased external speakers or you may be able to buy a connector to use the car's speakers. Otherwise, since I have purchased mine, not one problem. We use it almost daily.

I'm looking for some type of kit that when I have the screen swiveled and flat I can mount it to the headrest in my van, I suppose just a piece of velcro strap would work, but would like something that is made for it specifically , but not in the L shape case like you are saying too! thanks cbanks27@yahoo.com

Hi Sandra,If i understood correctly...you do not have in your radio a hole to stick in the auxiliary wire to listen to music. If that is the case i has same issue... This device plugs in to your car cigarette lighter outlet and that is it! You can listen to your iphone music! There is a auxiliary hole in the transmitter cup, and it comes with auxiliary cord to plug your phone into it.Since you and i had common problem, and this is the only device i found that doesnt break and has auxiliary outlet!I strongly recommend getting it. I had mine for almost 4 months and this is the best thing ever! Hi Sandra,If i understood correctly...you do not have in your radio a hole to stick in the auxiliary wire to listen to music.

Hi Jason, I suggest to have it remove by a professional installation guy for car audio system. If you are not familiar on the unit, removing it on your own may cause damage for both the device and on your vehicle. -Ely

Haven't tried. Ours are all mounted in vehicles. I think Wilson makes a window antenna though that might help.

I just found this Peripower mount on ebay. Thank you for that advice. Was there a reason you chose the X over the Y shape? And is it fairly easy to remove the dvd player from the mount? Is it quick to remove from the mount from the headrest? I ask b/c we'll have to remove whenever we aren't in car b/c of crime in our city. Thanks

I have never tried that. Volume is fine in the car w/ it on the visor but it might not be adequate in a hotel room. I think it would be fine as backround music or if you sit it close by.

Wow, good question! I think you'll need to get creative with this. All I can think of is to clip to your trunks, but you'd probably need an extender for the earbud wire, and I don't know where you'd get that. Try a sporting goods store swim section; maybe there's something that would work? Good luck!

You can indeed. This hands free device uses radio signal to send your audio to your cars radio. You need only a radio and a port to plug the FM transmitter. Hope that helps. It is a fantastic device and has served me well for quite a while. :)

Hi, I'm Bob from Portable Sound Laboratories (makers of the iMainGo2). It will ride quite well in your car as a protective speaker case for your iPod, iPhone or MP3. You will find it very portable and it produces amazing sound quality.Bob RPortable Sound Laboratories, Inc.bob@imaingo.com

Because of its small size, it fits on the pull-out ashtray in my car. I suppose it wouldn't be hard to mount it with Velcro on the dash. The sound is really very good for such a small unit.

I found the PERFECT car mounting system for this. I looked EVERYWHERE online, and finally stumbled across a canadian company called PeriPower that makes various mounting solutions. I was able to buy the PeriPower X-Shape Headrest mount new off of ebay (for around $30), and it works perfectly. Ebay was the only place I could find where it was sold - it does ship from Canada, but shipping was pretty fast. It really is a well-made product, and install is a snap!http://www.peripower.com/product_EN.aspx?cid=2&nowp;=10

There is an external microphone that has a clip. This comes in the package. So it was run (wires from the back of the deck to the microphone) and mounted on my sun visor...which is close to my face but does not obstruct the view. I honestly love this set!

i have a similar question, i want to run this in the backseat of my honda for the kids, can i get an adapter and run it in the car?
