exactly how do you mount this in a car?any drilling? suction? double-stick tape?

Double stick tape will work. However, for a more permanent installation, mounting with screws is preferred.

this was installed in a boat through the dash--it did involve drilling a hole and running wires for the backlight.

It is too big so I have not mounted it. I f I were it would be with velcro or double sided tape. Suction cup to the window would even be better.

I don't know. Mine was mounted in my boat. It replaced an older compass. Mine screwed in place using the provided. Also there was already a hole for the wire to the light.

The compass is normally attached by screwing the baseplate down. It's a little heavy but would be held just fine by some heavy-duty Velcro.

I had my boatyard install it in my boat. So I don't know how it was installed. But I really like it.

I don't know because we never could get it working correctly to mount it. If you haven't spent the money yet, I would suggest you not waste it because you will have to take it somewhere to get it properly calibrated and it will cost additional money.

can be mounted with double sided tape, however be advised compasses do not work real well in cars because of all the surrounding metal. even with the compensating adjustments

Katelyn, it mounts to the vehicle frame. Once you remove two bumper screws on either side of the bumper, you then place the bracket over the screw holes, at the same time moving the bracket through the space between the body and thw bumper. It was much easier than i thought it would be. You only have to drill one hole on either side of the frame beside the other two screw holes where the bracket attaches. I am not mechanically inclined, but this was really no problem. I have yet to drill the two holes, but that will be reasonably easy. If someone had time to do it all at once, it should take about 2-3 hours, if that. Katelyn, it mounts to the vehicle frame.

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.

I have only tried to mount it on the dashboard of my car. Everytime I use it and try to mount it on my dashboard, it won't stay there. In hindsight, I should have returned this but I threw away the box.

It has suction cups. So windshield mount is pretty much it. In my mind totally worth it though. I have had no problems with it.

Not that I know of... you could make an L-bracket and stick it on with some removable tape or something. I suppose you don't have to mount it at all. You can just let it hang as it is adequately insulated, but I did because I thought it would be nicer and it was really easy to do so. I suggest if you buy this, figure out everything you want to do before you start and make sure everything fits. I had to get adapters for the antenna (I have a 2005 Chevy Malibu) and so I had to drive around with my dashboard missing for a day or two. It is not trivial to remove the dash and install so it's nice to have everything figured out before you start.

Suction mount came with mine. I used the suction mount and put on dash of my vehicle

I used the double sided tape that came with the unit. it's been two full years and I can yank hard on the bracket with no signs of give. Just clean the surface of the vehicle where you want to install it and press it on. I did have to drill a 1/2" hole to get the wire inside the trunk. I drilled hole near the license plate illumination lights which is not visible. I applied touchup paint to the hole so there was not any exposed metal and installed the wire with the included grommet.

You would need a smooth surface like a windshield to mount/stick the suction cup before you can use it For that purpose.

I recently purchased this mount. It uses a standard micro USB cord. The package comes with a 12v adapter to go into any normal cigarette lighter/power port in your car. You could certainly use your own USB cord, but one is provided in the package.

Double side tape comes in a package. Just stick it to any empty spot under the hood. It will stay there secure enough.

It comes with screws for mounting and, I believe, velcro or double-stick tape for mounting (don't remember for sure). However, due to the need to push against the device firmly when inserting charger cords, I recommend using screws to mount it. Even then I try to "hold against" the push with my other hand. The device works well and I am happy with it.

It normally mounts with screws. To mount to a door you could try sticky 3M tape (the white foam stuff) or Velcro.

It comes with a little plate that can adhere to your dashboard. Then you can put the suction cup on the little plate. Or you can suction cup it to your windshield. The suction cup also detaches from the main mount so that you can attach the vent clips.

We managed to get the mounting in - using a power drill with a screwdriver bit. I don't think the double stick tape would last long... They do put out a bit of heat, and gravity is against you!

You shouldn't have any problems, I have used mine in my car with a suction mount and it was very secure. This frame is very sturdy.

It's best to mount this behind the Rearview mirror. Some cars have too steep of a windshield. You are better off using the 3M adhesive mount. (much shorter) There is also a 3rd party ball sock mount if you search for RCPANO2S360
