How do you detach it? Stuck very well, but want to make sure it won't mar the dashboard.

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.

There is a lever on the back of the base that you can pull out to release suction.

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.

Oh it won't go anywhere. I've put it on my friends dashboard on a slant and it didn't budge.

Mine comes off frequently (at the top). I've thought about securing it w Gorilla glue or grommets or something. A pain for sure.

There's a twist ring right behind the suction pad: Put the pad against the surface you want it to stick to, twist the ring until it clicks and you should be good to go.

The unit has a suction cup with a material that is very sticky that seals so well that the bond is very strong. My dashboard has a typical hard plastic surface that is not absolutely smooth; the texture is a pebbly faux leather with very small, rounded bumps. Also, the dash is slightly curved where my unit is mounted. Nevertheless, the iOttie has stayed in place since I mounted it two months ago. With respect to your question about removal, yes, it was easy for me to remove it from the dashboard when I repositioned it during initial mounting. I cannot speak to how easy it would be if I removed it now, but have no reason to believe it would be different. Removal was not a matter of releasing the lever on the suction cup ... that was step 1. I used the tip of a plastic knife to gently lift the edge of the suction cup up enough to allow air into the center, then peeled the unit off. It left a little sticky residue--very slight--that wiped off with a damp cloth. The iOttie remounted easily immediately thereafter and has stayed put ever since.

Do not remove it, way to hard to get on and off, Just unplug it at the steering wheel connection point and drive on.

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

I've never tried removing it, it has never come off on its own - looks pretty sturdily attached. Hope that helps.

I took mine off, but it didn't come off completely. Maybe with a lot of elbow grease...

I have not been able to take my mount off. Seems like it's kind of stuck there.

I don't recommend this item. It doesn't really stick to the dashboard, it did the first few days and after that useless... I actually just tried it again this weekend and "failed" hope this helps.

I believe It can be removed easily. I already have a GPS on my dashboard so I mounted it on the windshield.

its tough to take it off. I have it on my windshield right now but can't move it because the adhesive is so sticky

It slides off there's a clip and u have to either put something under it and it should slide right off.. Might be stuck a little depending on how long it's been there

Mine comes off. You might have to jiggle it at little, don't force it. It doesn't come off smoothly, but it does eventually release.

Just twist the circular part on the side and it'll eventually release. It should just slide right out.

Well, mine came with a sticky substance in conjunction with the suction cup, so I would say no. I haven't tried to remove it from my dash but I believe it would be difficult. Maybe there is a way to remove the sticky stuff? Not sure.
