love this holder but now want to move it to another car -- can't get the base off the dashboard -- can anyone suggest how to remove it? Thanks

Unlock the suction lever and pry up with fingers under the edge. Have moved mine back and forth between two cars.r

According to the instructions lift the suction lever and gently pull on the plastic ear/tab, should release and come right off.

That's easy.. There are liI openings under the dashboard and by the center console. Easier to hide in the new cars then the older cars.. Sometimes it won't hold unless u plan on screwing them in

I do not believe you can remove the holder. There is a knob that you can tighten or loosen to determine the tension on swiveling the holder around. I'm not sure why you would want to do that anyway. I have never kept loosening it more and more to see if the holder would come off,

I'm having tremendous difficulty removing it from the dash of my Kia Rondo.

With all respect, that is a weird question.we all know car mounts are connected to the car near the windshield, there's nothing u could do. Unless the car mount has a umbrella, I'm still very happy with my cell phone holder

You can switch it around from one car to another. The suction cup is enough. This is a great holder.

That's an interesting question, because even though this should fit in the slot, the height of the ashtray (if I recall correctly) is higher than the height of this cup holder unit. It could potentially replace the ashtray, but there are some things you will have to find out beforehand. Does the slide-out ash tray have screws, or can you simply pop it out of the console? You will need two small screws for this unit. The second thing is practicality: does your ashtray stay in place? If so, then I would just leave it there. These cupholders are fine for appearance and light use, but I personally would not pay for a replacement cupholder set if the ashtray has no issue with staying in the closed position. I only purchased and installed this on my 525i only because the right cupholder would not close and was partially broken. The console cupholder positions (or potential positions) in our cars are not great, and that's being kind. If your closed ashtray holds its integrity from an appearance point of view, then don't spend the money on this unit.

It's very moveable, i actually was unable to use it at all. Unless your dash is very flat and level the weight of the arm and phone/GPS causes it to fall over. Its not really adhesive at all, just a tacky disk. I had better luck mounting to the windshield with the suction cup.

It's been in my windshield for a couple months and I haven't had to reposition it once. It doesn't stick to my dashboard nearly as well as either of my Exogear Exomount car mounts though. If you're looking for a dashboard mount, get an Exogear Exomount!

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.

There's a little tab that sticks out beyond the edge of the cup. Try to pick that up and slip your finger underneath all the way around to release the suction cup. If you can't get your finger in, try something soft so you don't scratch the dashboard, maybe something like a Q-tip.

I specifically purchased the holder for my windshield and was most concerned about it staying there (because my radar detector is constantly falling) so I have not tried it on any other surface. Sorry I can't help you there.

Hi Robert... if you're talking about taking it out of the holster then - apply pressure at the bottom of the phone and push up (sort of like old BlackBerry cases). If you're talking about taking off the base cover - I haven't found a trick, but I was able work the edges slowly and take it off. I don't believe the manufacturer meant the bade to be separated often (so please be careful not to chip the edge if you wish to reattach). If you find a better way, please share :)Thanks

There is no base. It is meant to stay in the car permanently. That was another negative aspect of it I forgot to mention in my review.

I have an iPhone 6+. It will grab the phone but the phone is too tall for the hook to hang on my rear view mirror. I've tried workarounds but found nothing yet that allows me to safely hang it on my rearview mirror without swinging about. In my Prius I have to hook it on my heat vent. I occasionally find it bumps into my audio display and changes my station. I love its simplicity, just wish it better fit my phone. I did email Bondi and was told that there were presently no plans to make them bigger.

yes I have no trouble removing it which is rarely. I have the second cup and I use it in my company car so no need for the second cup holder. I use it in drivers cup holder as I find that to be the best position. I did have to wrap black duct tape for it to fit firmly yet easily removable and stable (no shaking).

Yes - you can move these holders relatively easy from one base to another. I have four bases on my boat and move the holders each time I go out... They twist in and then push down to lock - very durable and easy to use...would definitely recommend.
