By any chance will the phone fit in the cradle if it has a case/cover on it?

Mine got delivered today and the dock part fits fine with my Droid 1 mounting arm. I just might keep the old mount because it's more adjustable than the new one.

Yes....no issues with using another holder. In fact I hate this over designed bracket.....good luck :)

I could not remember for sure which model I had so I went out to look. All I could find was Tom Tom XL. That being said I would absolutely not recommend this product. I should have waited longer to give my review. It worked like a champ for a couple of weeks and then the suction cup gave out and it would not stay on the windshield at all. It was a complete waste of money. I ended up jerry rigging the thing with industrial strength velcro to mount it on my dash. At least it stays there now. I hope this helps.

It does not fit my XL335 SE. The back of the GPS does not fit in the circle on the mount unless forced and will not rotate. It keeps popping out, so I am looking for a new one that will fit my model.

So far, I cannot find a way to remove the arm. There is little to no documentation that comes with the unit, and not a whole lot about it online. I basically have mine (3 of them) VESA mounted but with the rear arm attached and the round stand attached.

Q: Do you have to use the dashboard mounting disk? A: No. However, most dashboard surfaces have some kind of texture and the cell phone car mount needs a completely smooth surface in order to function properly. Q: Is it just a sticky pad? A: The dashboard mounting accessory is a flat plastic disc with a strong adhesive double-sided tape that can be attached to your dashboard. (You'll need to make sure that the surface you attach it to is clean and dry.) Q: Can it be removed from my dash easily without leaving any marks? Can the disk be transferred to another car easily? A: Yes. It can be removed, however it is meant to be more of a permanent fixture and once it is removed, you'll need to replace the double stick tape (which can be purchased at almost any hardware store) before mounting it to another vehicle's dashboard. Please take care when removing the mounting disc as it can damage your vehicle's interior if done improperly. Best to use a glue solvent (like Goo Gone) to loosen the adhesive and twist the mounting disc gently off the dashboard. Use the solvent to clean the remaining residue from the double stick tape. I hope this helps. We are looking into stocking/selling the mounting discs separately (and maybe selling packs of 5 or including 2 with the initial purchase) if we get enough requests. We have found most people buy additional mounts for each vehicle.

From what I can tell, the Milestone A853 and the Motorola Droid I installed it in are identical. It worked great for my droid.

Yes. It looks to use the same mount in all models. I would however, go for one of the newer suction cup models. They REALLY work.

The mount is not permanent. It utilizes the same suction-cup design as many other mounts. It does come with a "puck" that you can (semi-permanently) attach to your dash via a sticky pad. This then provides the needed, flat, glossy surface for the suction cup.

I don't know what that guy is talking about when he says you have to remove a section of the dash and drill holes. It's a sticky pad for the base and the adapter slides into it. From what I can see your model is a flat screen and like the first person said, if your mount assembly has the ball style attachment then it will absolutely work. I mounted mine right to my dash with the sticky pad and I love it. It's way better than the friction mounts.

The sticky mount attaches to the foot pad making it impossible to use it on the windshield. BUT if you attach the sticky mount to a flat disk and attach that to the dashboard you can mount the car phone holder to either the dashboard or the windshield.

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.

My Tom Tom charges from the bottom and I am able to use this dashboard mount with no problem. My Tom Tom has a snap on type adjustable suction cup mount and the charging cord connects below this mount. My only problem is with the Tom Tom Sunction cup! The suction cup bracket would never stick to the windshield or to the plastic mounting disc. I have always used self stick Velcro to mount it to my vehicle even when it was brand new. I currently have a Ford Edge and I purchased this portable dashboard mount because I couldn't find a suitable place for the Velcro. This universal mount works fine for me plus I can remove it easily and tuck it in the seat pocket when not in use.

If you are using the extension you probably want to remove it. Also, since your unit came with two suction cups, you might want to have them in line with the direction of travel. You could also place the mount on the windshield rather than the hood. Since that is a long piece of flat metal, it may actually be flexing. Just some thoughts.

The car mount/cradle that I have for my Zumo550 mounts to the windshield by suction cup. That cradle is entirely incompatible with the motorcycle mount. The motorcycle mount is much more robust and designed to withstand the elements. Both types of mounts were accessories with my Zumo550. The motorcycle cradle works very well with the mount pictured here to the left.

It's a snap. The phone holder is mounted to the arm (that extends from the suction cup) via a joy-stick (pivot) connection, so the holder can be rotated to any landscape or portrait position or anywhere in between, including any angle. I positioned mine just to the right of the steering wheel and angled to face me straight. My suction cup is mounted to the windshield with the arm resting on my dashboard.
