Do you have to use the dashboard mounting disk? Is it just a sticky pad? Can it be removed from my dash easily without leaving any marks? Can the disk be transferred to another car easily?

Q: Do you have to use the dashboard mounting disk? A: No. However, most dashboard surfaces have some kind of texture and the cell phone car mount needs a completely smooth surface in order to function properly. Q: Is it just a sticky pad? A: The dashboard mounting accessory is a flat plastic disc with a strong adhesive double-sided tape that can be attached to your dashboard. (You'll need to make sure that the surface you attach it to is clean and dry.) Q: Can it be removed from my dash easily without leaving any marks? Can the disk be transferred to another car easily? A: Yes. It can be removed, however it is meant to be more of a permanent fixture and once it is removed, you'll need to replace the double stick tape (which can be purchased at almost any hardware store) before mounting it to another vehicle's dashboard. Please take care when removing the mounting disc as it can damage your vehicle's interior if done improperly. Best to use a glue solvent (like Goo Gone) to loosen the adhesive and twist the mounting disc gently off the dashboard. Use the solvent to clean the remaining residue from the double stick tape. I hope this helps. We are looking into stocking/selling the mounting discs separately (and maybe selling packs of 5 or including 2 with the initial purchase) if we get enough requests. We have found most people buy additional mounts for each vehicle.

Hi, you'll need one of those smooth discs that adheres to your dash (like for GPS units).

If you remove the mounting disc the factory adhesive will be shot.... but you can re-use the disc by applying a new adhesive.. (epoxy, vhb tape, velcro, etc.)

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!

Easily and quickly as long as you do not need the separate adhesive sticker to handle a very textured dashboard. If you are adhering to glass or not highly textured dashboard there is no problem in moving it.

Keep in mind that you probably won't need a disk to mount this item properly to your dash. The suction cup has a tacky, reusable adhesive that allows it to stick to the majority of dash surfaces. I have it mounted to the FRONT of my dash so that the arm is parallel to the floor and it stays in place without any problems. Buy a mounting disk if you want but I think you'll find that you can do without it.

There is a lever on the back that engages the suction cup, as well as a small tab coming off the back of the gel suction cup. You disengage the suction cup with the lever, then pull the tab upwards and the cup grudgingly releases it's hold on your dash. I've moved it in between two cars, and repositioned it once, and it hasn't left any mark.

No , not really, once you stick it too the dash, it won't stick again , just keeps coming off if you remove it once

It come with a small metal disk with adhesive on one side. It sticks to the dash the holder has a suction cup that sticks to the metal disk. I never tried it, so I don't know if it works.

The adhesive and suction are very strong an sturdy. I have mine stuck to my dashboard and I do not remove it. However I'm sure, as with most adhesive backings, that if u keep removing it, it will probably wear down. I don't know about that company's policy on replacements.

Well , no it has to stick to your windsheld...I ordered it for hubby & he uses it in his big truck...I also got a camera in my car & it stays on the windshield..I can't say for sure that it would't stick to the dashboard, but just didn't order it for that purpose..

You can use the disc with red "chassis paste" included to stick to a textured dashboard and then attach the suction cup to the disc. The suction cup itself needs a flat surface.

There is no damage to the dashboard. There is a slight sticky film on the bottom but it does not leave any reside on dashboard.

I am sorry, I never had any issue with mine.. Did you make use of the black disc they had provided to stick to the dashboard, because that is very strong and provides greater suction.

There is an adhesive disk that you can stick to dash and then use the suction cup mount on it or just use the suction cup on the window if that is legal where you live.

The pad has a glue tacky finish on the back side, there is a film that you remove exposing the tacky surface. Once you have chosen the location and pre cleaned the dash area the pad should never move.

No, it comes with strong 3M automotive adhesive tape covering the whole back side. It's meant to stick to a clean surface once, then probably leave it there. I have a few for different vehicles. I can then take any rubber suction cup mounted phone or GPS, and move that from car to car. Hope this helps!Bill
