Can I use the windshield mount to mount it to the driver's side window and then turn the unit to face the driver?

I would not do that! You will impair your vision path to your side mirror and also impair you visual to the left.

It's on an arm attached at the base by a suction cup to either your window or a bean bag mount, having an "elbow" half-way up its length that can be used to raise the unit up or down, and has a ball joint of sorts, at the opposite end of the arm to which the unit is attached that can be used to make fine "swivel" type adjustments of the display. I'm guessing the arm is only about 6-7" long or so, curved a bit. This may limit the extent to what you are trying to do.

I don't know why not. We mount it on the front of the dashboard. It moves somewhat In both directions. It's a large unit. I don't know if it would obstruct vision.

You probably could, but I'm not sure that the angle/position would be very usable. We bought a cradle that sat on the dash to sit our in. That worked pretty well, but the unit didn't. We've always bought Garmins before and have always been happy with them. This one quit working on our very first trip.

Well, there should be a little plastic thingy somehow attached to your GPS, and that sticks to the glassy area of the dashboard mount, the same way your GPS gets attached to your rear windshield.

It is not designed to mount to a flat (vertical) window, although the suction cups may hold it there. The metal housing is designed for it to sit on the dash and the suction cups to hold it in place to a windshield.

Yes bc u can adjust the direction it faces and move it to different areas of the windshield...ive recorded a video of my niece sitting in the back seat w my front facing camera.

The mounts allow you to position the holder anywhere along the track so yes it can be driver side.

I have not attached my to any dash or window. I believe you can attached it to the dash or window.

You should be able to mount this mirror to the existing "wedge" style windshield mount button.

Hey Larry~you sure can, like if you want to use your smartphone's GPS? Works great for that feature. This fits in the "AC vent of your vehicle". Hope this helps in your decision making process ;)

I don't believe it will work for the driver side as the motors is mounted where it needs to be for the passenger side window.

from the head unit i dont know if its possible but i think its easy just turn the camera to the necessary angle..

Yes! It probably works better on glass than on the dash. The mount I had to put on my dash has a glass-like surface to attach it to. So the window would work great.

I supposed you could mount it that way if you want but I prefer to keep it hidden behind the mirror. You can hide the cable by just tucking it between the molding and trim on top of the windshield and along the door panel and under the glove box. You can't even see mine. Good Luck.

I don't see why not. It fits to the windshield, the only obstacle is the rear view mirror, which is always in the center. Mine fits perfect. There is no issue with what side you are driving on. ;)

Sure, it can be used on the driver's side window. I have. Just don't expect it to "cling."

I just got mine and it worked sideways and upside down. So I assume it would work if you hung it somehow on the window.

You can mount it in the dash by using the template and cutting a hole in the dash. The unit will be held in by four screws. Or, you can purchase the additional gimble mount and attach it wherever.
