Does the camera mount has to be on the windshield only or can I glue it to the dashboard?

I don't think you'd get much usable video if the cam was on the dash. I have mine mounted high up on the windshield and it seems to be the best spot for it.

It is recommended you mount the camera top center if possible to get the best picture. There is also a rear view mirror mount that you can use if you don't want to stick it to the window.

You can mount it anywhere you want, You will need a path to run the wiring from the monitor to the camera. Power needs to be provided under the dash or under the hood. The power is provided to camera through the cabling coming from the monitor.

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.

The mount remains stuck to your windshield via an adhesive, but the camera itself slips out of the mount easily (just as easily as rotating it in place to face forward/backward).

I am not sure to what you are referring as the "adhesive mount disk.". If you mean an extra disk to be applied to the dashboard, it's about the same size as th TomTom disk. The Arkon mount works so well with the windshield, you won't need it. I can put it low on the windshield on the left side. The TomTom is easy to see there.

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

This is the piece that fixes to your dashboard if you want to dash mount as opposed to windscreen mount. Note that once fixed to the dash, the plate is not removeable. The manufacturer is great about answering questions.

There is an adhesive disk that you can stick to dash and then use the suction cup mount on it or just use the suction cup on the window if that is legal where you live.

It uses double sided tape to fix the mount base to the windshield. No suction cup is included.

It doesn't necessarily stick to the glass. Once you place it on the dashboard it has a small space that attaches to the rear view mirror. Once its in place you can adjust it to your liking. You can also use the straps for more support. I was skeptical about getting it but I'm happy I did.

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.

It mounts magnetically without the suction cup, if you have metal where you need to mount the camera. My vehicle did not have metal available in the area where I wanted to mount the camera; therefore I was forced to also purchase the over-priced suction cup mount.

You can stick the "black round thing" anywhere on the dash board. Then you can attach your garmin mount like attaching to windshield. Make sure you decide where you want it on the dash board (once you stick it, it is kind of stuck there for ever). Remove the thin film on the white tape (hard to remove). Once removed, it's very sticking. Before sticking it on the dash board plan ahead. Good luck!

You can use the disc with red "chassis paste" included to stick to a textured dashboard and then attach the suction cup to the disc. The suction cup itself needs a flat surface.

Yes, you can unscrew the camera from the mount for quick removal without detaching the entire windshield assembly.

Once mounted on dashboard / windshield for Iphone 4, has anyone used it to take pictures / video? I want to know whether it is able to bend (at an angle?) to have clear view and the mount point doesn't obstruct the view.
