I've heard that you have to rest the mount on a dashboard to use it. Is there a way to keep the mount arm up?

No, it is made to rest on the dash. But, it hasn't been a problem for my husband. It sits on the dash of his H2 and doesn't mark it up. Sitting on the dash keeps it steady.

Try this: take a child's small hollow rubber or solid foam play ball. Cut and "X" on two sides and pass the mounting arm through. After attaching the mount to the windshield slide the ball along the arm to the point of contact with the dash. This will keep the arm up. By varying the size of the ball, or the placement of the cuts, you should be able to achieve some adjustment in the height of the device.

when I use mine with my 10inch Galaxy Tab 2 I rest it on the dashboard because of the tablet's weight and also to avoid the shakings... no such needs with my HTC Flyer... keeping the arm up might not be problematic, we have bumpy roads in my country so it's a different story for me

Depends on what you are holding I was using a ipad...and the clings would not hold onto the window...

I don't think so. I put a small piece of foam between it and the dash for support. Works well for me.

Mount it on the up-risers or sides of bars. The way you have it, you could never get enough grip from the mounts to fight the wind pressure.

Best way to attach & remove later would be stick on 3M fel-cro. It can be stuck on both the included mount & the dash.

Just used it in the backrest...not sure how it would hook up to dashboard, unless you have a special rod to secure it to up front

You can apply some pressure as you mount the unit to the windscreen. Cleaning the silicone surface from time to time does help. Or there may be some temperature differences as when you mount the unit and it then gets exposed to sunlight, where the air inside the mount expands. Anyway, even with a secure mounting, it won't stick forever (over a course of several days), so you might have to remount occasionally. I usually detach the unit whenever I have to park the car in the middle of sunlight for extended number of hours. I didn't do so with my previous unit and it bluetooth appeared to stop functioning as I assumed the electronics should have been worn due to excessive heat.

Hi Eddie. I used it to recorded some videos at a recent track day. Links to videos at https://www.facebook.com/Jmediaphotography?ref=hl I'm looking at getting longer arms, you'll notice in one of the videos you can see the suction part of the mount still.

Well the mount has a sticky suction so is reusable and has a latch to compress the air to keep the suction to dashboard together

no, no, no. It's amazingly perfect. I used a CD slot mount and it is completely off the dashboard.

Its OK. But the lower part of the mount needs to rest on dash due to the weight of the tablet

The gel pad would stick to the dashboard (be sure to clean & dry the area before sticking the gel pad). You then attach & lock the mount itself on the pad plate. If you want to use the mount on your windshield simply detach the mount from the gel plate and attach the mount to the windshield (leave the gel pad on your dash).

Just fix and tight the mount untill you can move the phone with some pressure, then just move the phone to the right or left. The car mount release system is different from the bike/running release system. Hope it help, works great for me!

Get some velcro and strap it around the head rest or stick it to the fuzzy stuff on your back panel. That'll keep it upright for sure, small modification for less hassel ;-)

I am sorry, I never had any issue with mine.. Did you make use of the black disc they had provided to stick to the dashboard, because that is very strong and provides greater suction.

The little thing that sticks out underneath the clips needs to be secure against your dashboard. I know this is kinda vague but I hope it helps and fixes your problem.

Yes, in most cars, you'll be able to attach the sticky suction base to the top of the dashboard. In some cars that have a heavily textured dashboard, you may need to use the circular adhesive disk included. If you bring it out towards the front lip or edge of the dash, you'll be able to adjust the arm downward into a position that's convenient for you (very similar to where it would be if you were using an air vent). This is exactly how I use this mount. Love it!

I did not suggest the mount can go to the dash I said the windshield, I have not tried the dash because my Radar detector needs to be up high so I can get 360 degree coverage. But it may work because it haled on by socks ion
