I have a 2011 ford mustang, in my car. the dash is pretty much plastic. Will the suction cup grip the plastic or is it impossible?

Eh.... you could try but to be safe I'd get a 3M suction cup mount to be safe.

The suction cup is pretty good. So if the dashboard is smooth enough, it'll be okay. Mine is not. So i used the easy to remove 2 sided tape.I don't know how long that will hold in the summer heat.

My dash is plastic, it works super well. The suction cup has a no-slip grip ring around.

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 works well when the surface of contact between the dash board and the bound is large. Usually, this means that the area of the dash board where you place the mount should be as flat as possible or even concave (i.e., downwards). If it is convex upwards the friction may be not enough. Also, make sure you dust the dash board surface regularly, otherwise dust sticks to the bottom of the mount and the friction subsides. Then, if you make a sharp turn or accelerate fast, the thing may move or even fall to the floor.

I purchased suction cup hooks from Wal-Mart (Pack of 2 for $2-3.00) to hold it. It haven't any issues with the hook holding it, it further allows me to put it on and take off as needed or on the road when I travel. Hope this helps.

The clear plastic suction cup is exactly 3 5/8" in diameter. Don't recall where, but I did find a plastic disc (to stick to my dash) here on Amazon that accepts this suction cup.

I have no idea. I had to superglue my radar detector to this thing. The only positive thing I have to say is the suction cup mount has never once fell off my window. However previous posters have said this thing melts in the summer heat, so I'll find out soon if that happens.

Yes and you can also use the plastic disc to glue to your dash and then use the diction cup mount on that as well

Yes, it should fit into the mount that is on the extreme left of the picture. It will not fit in the one attached to the suction cup mount. These holders snap easily on and off the same suction cup mount. My advise is to use the adhesive disc even if you are considering direct mounting to windshield. The suction cup unit will as they all will, eventually fall off when directly applied to the windshield. Why, I don't know, but it will not come off the disc, and the disc will not come off the windshield or dashboard. Clean all surfaces with alcohol. Position the disc carefully because once set on the windshield you won't be able to remove it and reuse it.....Hint, put the suction cup on the disc, then "shop it around" for best location...then mark the window with a marker, then remove suction unit from disc, then remove covering from adhesive side of disc, and press the disc onto the windshield or dash location you marked.

Myler, I would say yes. Trying to take this off my windshield, to move it to a different car, the self stickiness made it very hard. It isn't just a suction cup, it's also a STRONG sticker.

I'd say about 3 1/2 inches. Not sure what other users have had issues with it sticking, but there is a trick to turning the base to engage the suction cup. There's actually a notch that it twists to, and it took me a minute of fiddling with it to figure it out. After that, it stuck like a tank. It will matter what kind of material you are sticking it to. No suction cup is going to stick to a leather dash. For that purpose, there is an included disk with adhesive that you can apply to a non-smooth surface and then suction the hold to that disk.

I know that it sticks to the dash and doesn't slid on my car. I don't know how much your dash is sloped but it does grip pretty good. You could buy an additional suction cup window mount.

I have two of these units. One for my car and one for my truck. The suction cup did not work on the dash on either vehicle. However, I like it on the left side of the steering wheel on the window. Out of the way and "stuck for life!" lol ...

I find it sticks and stays in place much better on my windshield. The suction cup is about the size of the bottom of a soda can.

This one has a knob that you twist to obtain maximum suction. The only issue I've had with it is that the black dash of my car absorbs so much heat, that when it gets to 90+ degrees, the dash mount would just fall off.

It must be attached to a smooth surface, like the windshield. If you have a smooth dash it should stick. But if it's a textured dash it won't work. I attached mine to the windshield and it works perfectly! Good luck.

I haven't measured it but, I'm using it with a Galaxy Note 2 and have extra room so I would bet that it would. It's a great car holder. I actually believe that the suction cup will stick to anything. I have a dash with a carbon fiber pattern and it stuck to that for over a year.

If it can be mounted on a dash ,yes it can....i had to turn my device upside down so the suction cup could be used as a dash mount.....
