I just purchased a Buick Lucerne. I do not want to wreck the CD player. Will the weight of the mount ruin the CD player, when not mounted?

I've installed this mount in my 2010 Nissan Frontier and my wife's 2012 Audi without any damage to the CD player. It does work well in this application although it is not as vibration free as the suction cup mount that came with the Garmin. I would not recommend leaving it installed permanently since it might disturb the dust seal at the front of the CD player.

Have used one several times in a Ford Fusion without any concerns. Actual mount really rather light.

NO .. it will not hurt the CD player. The only problem I found was that after a while of driving it starts to work loose and you have to tighten up a little.

No problem... Works great. You will have to get a washer from Home Depot and place it between the mount so it won't fall. Cheap fix, you will see exactly where when you get it. My wife loves it.

I've had no problems - if debris got between some of your disc then maybe. The slot that grabs the disc is very tiny & along the edge. I don't think sny moving parts could do any damage

It is all one piece and the "mount" will be inserted half way into the CD slot, not far enough to damage any on the CD mechanics.

The tabs that go into the CD player are rubber, so I think the likelihood of it doing any damage to your CD player is very small. It is quick and easy to remove (and put back in). There are three tabs that are what you might call spring loaded. Two point slightly up and one points slightly down. You flatten them out to insert into your CD player and the spring tension (the 'desire' of the tabs to go back to the slightly up and down position) is what holds the unit in place. The thing I really like about it is the handle is pretty small, so it is unobtrusive when there is no phone in it (compared to other holders).

Yes. It tends to losen up but they supply a hidden hex wrench to tighten it. The design is simple and not big and bulky. Very nice mount!

I was considering this mount until I read one of the reviews about having it in their car when in an accident, she said it came loose and became a "hard plastic missile in the car". That is enough for me to say no thanks, I would rather my child just hold the player on her lap!

Yes, the CDs play in the CD player with the mount inserted. It's pretty cool and convenient. Pretty solid.

Yes it should work just fine. I use it in a multi-disk player myself. I would just make sure to eject/insert any CDs prior to installing the mount. If you eject while the mount is installed you could damage your player.

Nope. I agree with jimi. I returned the unit the mount that holds it isn't strong enough. It kept falling of when I was riding on relatively smooth roads.

Mike, I wouldn't do that. It's very sensitive to side movement, such as turning the car, which would displace the CDs from the shallow groove they are balanced in. Strictly needs a solid level surface. Just moving it to another shelf, when loaded with CDs, they tend to fall out of their tracks, which requires that you reach inside and pull out CDs and insert them one-by-one back in their 300 grooves. It is a great player, and when set to all random, it will change discs and tracks continuously. Seldom repeating the same track after playing for hours, which is my main playing mode.

We installed the bracket under the cabinet in the motorhome and it works great. there is an adjustment to increase the holding power when swinging the tv up and out of the way. You shouldn't have any problem in holding a 10 pound unit up. It snaps into the bracket. With all the bumps that we have hit the tv remained up and out of the way. it should work on any flay mount surfice attached with drywall screw inserts.

Can't with this, but try Mountek.com. I got an iPhone mount that fits into the cd player for a friend with a Prius and it works great.

Depends on what you are hearing. if it's just the sound of it spinning, I wouldn't worry, but if it's clicking and clacking, you might be concerned. I personally would not mount a drive vertically. I believe drives are supposed to allow it, but I would think the extra gravity, even on the light armature of the read head, could cause trouble. Drives are just too flakey to take any risks. if you can mount it horizontally, do so.

It really depends on the construction of the CD player you are using it in. In my 2014 BMW 3 series it shakes just a little bit. In my friend's Yaris it's solid as a rock. Even in my flimsy CD player slot, it doesn't bother me at all.
