I need something to keep all my notebooks organized in my F150. Could I mount a few of these on the dash for convenience??

The notebooks would go flying all over. why not get accordian files (like attorneys use) and put it in the seat.

Yes. You have to clip or glue it somewhere on the dash. It's small, but not invisible.

You can attach this unit to the dashboard as long as you can find the flat surface for the suction cup. This product desires a 5star rating because the build quality is good

Get the 'bean bag' dash mount that Amazon sells - worth every penny! http://tinyurl.com/nzzcrvx

It can be mounted in the dash, but I bought an optional adjustable bracket to mount on top of the console.

Sure you could. I believe it will serve the same purpose if you need extra clearance or something. I took a couple pics but can't attach them.

That's what it is - you can mount to window or dash. It clips off the suction cup so that the cup stays in place and you can take the device with you.

Well, there should be a little plastic thingy somehow attached to your GPS, and that sticks to the glassy area of the dashboard mount, the same way your GPS gets attached to your rear windshield.

I'm not sure what you mean by dash mat, but I'd think a beanbag mount should still work. I've also found that placing the GPS just under the rearview mirror works well for me -- allows me to glance at the unit while checking the rearview mirror and doesn't block much area (but Cal and Minn don't allow it, and since I live in Cal I ended up with a beanbag mount). The vent mount (very inexpensive) has received some good reviews (I haven't used it), but it's priced at a point where you could try it to see if you like it (you won't be out much money, plus you can return it if it doesn't work). Of course you could go whole-hog and get a custom mount from ProClip or a couple of other gps mount manufacturers, but you're looking at 50 or 60 bucks or more).

Yes.... it comes with two different styles of dash mounts. Just read the directions carefully.

It's a fairly heavy, sand bag style holder with a matted base. The 'wings' are flexible so can you squash it down between convolutions created by the instrument lights as on the Altima. I placed it on the passenger side which is a fairly steep contour and it remained firmly in place. I would agree that it will sit comfortably on any dash without slippage. I agree with florence, a big plus is you can simply lift it off the dash and tuck it into the console....I have complaints

I don't think so, it's done with a suction cup. My dashboard is a plasticy material as well, but I actually stick it to my windshield. It's adjustable enough to be able to position it from either dash or windshield.

I don't think that would work too well. It is flat on the back and requires two screws to mount it. It wouldn't be very secure with mounting tape.

Probably. I paid to have it installed and did not know that a suction device came with it. I probably would have had them do that. Mine was mounted on my dash but the dash is curved so only the two top screws were used and the bottom two are not secured thus making the screen kinda' wobbly. And in that it was installed on my ashtray, it hangs down too low and is hard for me to see easily. Heck!!!! I'd try the suction device first and if that does not work for you, then you can always put it on the dash. Good luck!!

You'd have to keep it really clean. It sticks really well, unless you get oil/dust/dirt on it. Good for posters and other decor where it is covered, might not work as well for your dash as phones tend to collect oil from our hands/faces and car dashes tend to collect dust.

Probably. I had instaaled mine in a Ford truck and not only had to buy a dash kit but had to buy an atenna adapter. However, it was well worth it. I really enjoy the unit.

Keep in mind that you probably won't need a disk to mount this item properly to your dash. The suction cup has a tacky, reusable adhesive that allows it to stick to the majority of dash surfaces. I have it mounted to the FRONT of my dash so that the arm is parallel to the floor and it stays in place without any problems. Buy a mounting disk if you want but I think you'll find that you can do without it.
