Can I detach the cradle from the suction cup mount and use the cradle on my sandbag dash mount?

Yes, it is a ball joint that pulls apart but I think they sell the cradle by itself so you don't need to buy the suction cup part. I'm not sure how the cradle will work with your sandbag but the cradle can be detached.

It should work fine with your portable GPS. Be sure your windshield is super clean if your going to mount it there, I didn't use the mounting pad (sticky round disk) so I don't know how it works with the suction cup. I put mine directly on the windshield and its never fell off.

It should work fine. This mount is really a grip sandbag with a disk attached for mounting the GPS into. You simply attach your vacuum mount attached to your GPS to this disk. I cannot imagine these mountings would be different sizes. Just in case, I measured mine. It is 2.5 inches diameter. Yours should probably be the same. The mount on the sandbag measures 3.5 X 4 inches. Plenty of extra room. It works very well. It doesn't slide at all. An added convenience is if you are in a place where you do not wish people to see your GPS you can just slide the whole affair under the seat. No need to even disengage. I hope this helps.

You have to take apart the windshield mount to make it fit in the case. Suction mount and GPS holder

The base is pretty heavy so I think I can only mount to the dash. Yes it comes with a charger & cable which happens to be detachable if you want to.

this works great with the Nuvi. The one I have came with a "cradle" that snaps right on to the "ball" part of the mount. My GPS is older so it is small enough that the adjustable cradle that came with the Amzer mount would work fine also. I love this dash mount

I don't believe so, I didn't see a hole in the back of this device to support that suction cup. What you can do is purchase thei.Trek Vehicle Suction Cup Mount and Replacement Bracket Cradle for GPS (Black)

Don't think that you can detach it. There is another tetrax without the x that can be mounted onto the dash. Question is why do that when you can use the x as a detachable that can be used with any other vehicle u might want to use...

The suction pad is made of silicone. It should work well with the dashboard if you apply it properly. Clean the dashboard and then put the mount on the surface with power, pull down the lock button to exhaust extra air and stabilize the mount.

No, it fits in the slot. In addition, don't waste your money. Once installed and holding your gps, it's too "bouncy". Better installed with suction mount.

No, you can easily detach them and move them to the other side of the vehicle. But, you do need two sets of the cradles (J-style MPG106M Autoloader).

Thanks for your question, Jessica; there is a suction base that will allow the user to uninstall the mount. In fact,I've moved it from it's initial position on the windshield to the top of the dash (the extreme rake of the windshield put my Note2 used as gps too far to access easily). Yet, I don't believe that the adhesive on the unit is geared towards the user doing this sort of thing continuously. The Intek is more of a "Set & Forget" type of thing, in my view. With that said, I continue to be very pleased with it's service and value. Hope this helps in your decision.

No. The mount merely rests on the dash. It is not attached with anything (no adhesives) and relies on friction to keep from sliding around. I can't imagine a scenario where it would do damage, unless the dash got extremely hot and caused something to melt.

I have not tried it with a GPS, but i could see where it might. It comes with 2 stick-on metal pieces and i think that you could possibly use one of those to attach your GPS to the cradle.

Yes, the sandbag and the cradle ARE removable, and a 1/4 x 5/16 stud is protruding from the base, I've used it for a camera tripod, spotting scope, and I'm sure you can use it with anything that has a 1/4 " female mounting thread, I don't know what Frank is talking about, but I love this thing! It's better than two other tripods that I have that are more expensive. For the price, this thing is great, GET ONE !

Some material on dashboards is too texured to use just the suction cup attachment alone. I use the included metal circle to insure greater adhesion of the holder under all conditions. It has never bumped off using the disc. It will definitely stick without the disc---BUT not IN-definitely. If you find you need to use the disc, it sticks on there as long as the adhesive works. I haven't had any problems using the disc. You can try to find SOME smooth surface/place on your dash but it might not be as convenient to use. I don't know if any "sunfading" might occur over the long term.

Yes...To Both Questions. But Dash Mount Is A Sticky Mount. It Also Comes With A Suction Cup Mount For Windshield. That'sThe Mount I Use And It WorkS Great.
