I plan to use this with 3490LMT. Question is can I remove the speaker part to be used with a friction mount such as: Garmin portable friction mount?

This mount comes in two pieces. You have to snap them together to use this. One piece is the suction piece that ends in a ball mount that snaps into the back of the speaker part. I don't know if that part will fit though.

If you are talking about the Shotgun Microphone Kit, then no. That mount is a hot-shoe mount so there is no need for this product as it replaces the hot-shoe.

Since this is the portable model, I would think not. There is a fixed mount/permanent model. With a bypass, that one should work.

The RAM holder is only compatible with RAM mounts. You can't use this cradle directly on a Garmin ball pedestal. The connection on the back is a diamond shaped adapter.

No you can't. This is something they really need to change, but because the speakers are attached to the mount, you have to replace the entire mount.

Hi, It works well with my Garmin nuvi 3590LMT. Compare its dimensions to your Garmin's

I thought I'd read that CA amended that rule in 2009 and drivers could use mounts as long as they were clearly on the left half of the windshield? Might want to look into that. Regardless, the best friction mount I've tried (and I've tried 4 now) is the Gilsson found here: http://www.amazon.com/Gilsson-UBM-Portable-Non-Skid-Dashboard/dp/B000ZSUQ9M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1271436738&sr=8-4 It's a bit ugly, but it's very flexible and heavy where most of the others are inflexible and too light to really do the job.

You can use turboccc's TTSVoiceEditor utility. It allows you to edit and change the Garmin VPM voice file. I also have a 660 and purchased an 885T and was also disappointed with the weak volume. The utility allowed me to increase the 885T to almost as loud as the 660. A side benefit of this utility is the ability to change the default announcements like "recalculating" to a saying of your choice. Mine now says "we're making this up as we go", which drew some giggles from passengers. http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/Downloads

This can work any size, however, if the power connector is behind the device like all Garmin devices, then you won't be able to connect to power while it is in the mount.

I attempted to quickly determine the threads used in mounts of the mentioned satellites but failed to find that information. So you can best answer, if you are a current owner, by measuring the threads on the base of your speaker. It is more likely those are M8 (metric) than 3/8". Even assuming the threads do fit, you may want to consider a more robust solution. It appears these units, though small, are heavier than I would recommend mounting with only an adapter like this one; however if you used this only to retain the unit on a larger base, that should work. The stress on this adapter might break it or fail to hold your (expensive) satellite properly.

Contact the seller. I purchased this adapter from this seller for my inmotion speakers.

Well after a couple weeks of going back and forth, I finally decided to buy the 765t. The deal breaker was the fact that the 1390t DOES NOT have a powered mount, so you need to plug the power cable in every time you mount it. I confirmed this with Garmin.

I have a Nuvi 2555lmt which it has a separate pocket where is slides into. I have all the cords in the other part. I think the mount is too wide to put in there. The case is hard so it doesn't stretch. Hope this helps!

I use a "Garmin Friction Mount" by that just lays on the dash. It has a sticky bottom that holds very well. Amazon has them.

I agree with dgminer and William Costley - it took a lot of force for me to get the socket of the clip securely onto the ball of the friction mount. The GPS will still vibrate a little, especially if you pivot it up off the base. I keep mine fairly low on the base to prevent this.

You should be able to use any friction mount that will accept the Garmin ball mount. It would probably be best to buy the mount specifically made for the Garmin to avoid problems. It is more expensive generally but you would be very happy with it.

I know it is smaller than Ram Mount's 1/2" ball and I'm pretty sure it's smaller than Garmin's. If that's the route you are going it would suggest getting a 1/2" ball mount with flat base (Part RAM-A-238U) from Ram Mount and sticking that on the back of the screen with 3M tape. Then you can use any number of mounts from Ram.
