I had it mounted on my dash very close to the assembly seam closest to the frontal dash face that the HVAC and other electronic controls reside . heavy duty double stick tape secures the unit I had it hard wired beneath the base and between the assembly seam. No drilling for either. The vehicled is a 4 wheel drive Lexus 470 that is driven offroad 10% of the time on fairly rough terrain . The device is stable enough to maintain continuous directional accuracy even with the offroad dynamics. Very clean assembly with the hard wiring that is alway prepared to illuminate once the ignition is fired . I hope that my description will fit your application . I was a bit fortunate that my preferred location from the drivers seat dove tailed at a point on the dash that prevented me from drilling any holes. Good luck from Texas.

Not sure what you mean in your question but I put some blue painters tape on the trunk and set the wing on the trunk where I thought it would be best to mount. I marked on the tape where I needed to drill the holes and checked several times to make sure it was right. Inside the trunk are places/holes where the factory would bolt the wing up to the trunk, make sure you line up with these. Set the wing on the trunk and eyeball it so it looks right from the back and the side of the car. Believe me you don't want to drill in the wrong place.

There is a suction disc (the circular piece of plastic shown in the top right hand corner of the picture) that is furnished with this kit. The suction disc has an adhesive backing on it. To use this mount attached to your dashboard, you adhere the disc to the dashboard and then the suction cup mount will stick to it.

There is a disc that adheres to the dash with 2-sided tape then you suction cup the mount to the disc.

It comes with double sided sticky tape. It is fairly thin, so pretty unnoticeable (doesn't create lift to the mounting plate). So you can pull off the mount plate later, and scrub off the double sided sticky tape off your dash.

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 comes with a sticky tape circular mount that might stick to the dash and the holder will suction to that. If you've got a good flat area on the dash it may work good.

It comes with a power cord for your car and a windshield mount (which is pretty cheap). I just wedge it between my dashboard and the windshield. Works pretty well. The unit itself is excellent. I've only had it a couple of months and it's saved by butt several times already.

There are no holes on the back for mounting - you could use two sided tape.

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

You would need to drill holes in order to mount it. We opted for a license plate bracket that mounts under the car so you can slide the plate up when driving and slide down when showing

Comes with a mount but not for under the dash, if your tech savy you can get a cheep peice of metal and make a bracket. The mount is durable though so you might be Able to fit it some how.

Yes, you can use double sided tape or screw it in. Hopefully you have room to mount it on a flat surface as that would be better. Hope that helps.

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.

This unit comes with a windshield mount and suction cups. You may need to bend the bracket slightly so that the unit is level depending on the angular rake of your windshield. Don't attempt to bend the bracket with the unit in place. Remove it from the bracket with the quick release button. This device only operates when plugged into your lighter socket. This cord comes with the unit. Everything you need to "plug and play" is included. Recommend turning the "POP" mode off when setting up first time. Too many annoying false alarms. My unit seems to work very well. I hope this helps and good luck! This unit comes with a windshield mount and suction cups.

It has been a while since I mounted mine but yes, there are actually two ways to mount. There is an included flange, plate or whatever you want to call it, that can be inset into a dash, or some other type of surface. In my case, I did not use that and mounted it directly to the swivel-base. I want to say it had a 1/4"-20 screw fitting (like a camera) and there was a screw in the base that fit it just fine. So I was able to mount it to the base.Hope that helps
