TomTom L131812 Sat Nav Dashboard Mount for All Sat Nav Models, Black, 5.0 cm*26.0 cm*17.0 cm

This item is a heavy weight base covered in fabric and with a rubberised base. There's a centre section which is made of high-gloss, hard plastic. The best fixing is obtained if you lick (or lick your finger and wipe) the rigid plastic surface and the suction cup on your sat nav so they're both wet, then start with the suction cup on your sat nav set to "unlocked", bring the two items together and turn the suction cup to "locked". Provides am excellent fixing strength in my opinion and you can even be quite rough with the angle adjustment of your sat nav and it still stays stuck. I'm using it with a 5" sat nav but I'd say the fixing strength will more than cope with 6" and 7" sat navs too. My car has has a flat dash board section next to the instrument cluster, so this item sits there perfectly flat. It doesn't move about thanks to its weight and the rubberised underside. Another plus point is that if you're not sticking the sat nav to your screen then you're not obscuring your view of the road (the police can and do stop and prosecute you if you have the item stuck to your windscreen in such a way that you've created a blind spot). I.e. it prevents accidents. In addition, you're not leaving suction-cup marks on your windscreen (or the plastic screen in front of your instrument binnacle, which I've seem some people use to fix the sat nav) so no-one knows you've got a sat nav (potentially left in the glove box) if they come sniffing round your car when you're away from it. The only downside I'd say is that eventually, the rubberised base starts to show significant marks and small chips in the rubberised coating as if it is starting to perish, but honestly I can say it takes several years for this to be significant and it never gets to the point where it becomes a problem or the product isn't useable. I'd say if your dashboard has a large rolled top, or the rake angle of your windscreen is very shallow, then this may not be the right item for you as it'll end up just being balanced/perched and may not be as stable as it can be, particularly if your windscreen angle is shallow and you can't push the item far back towards the windscreen so it stays put and doesn't fall forward. I think most people will be able to make use of this product though. I have seen this base used in new (2017+) cars with rolled/soft moulded dash boards and it still seems to fit well enough. My favourite fixing method, so I'm giving it 5 stars for everything as it does everything really well with no drawbacks.

I bought this 6 months ago and can honestly say it is one of the best gadget decisions I have ever made! I have, since the inception of satnav, tried just about every kind of holding device you can get and they all have their own set of problems. Whether fitting to an obscure air vent or in your view line on the windscreen! From sticky gel (worst mistake!) to various suction pad devices. I was a little anxious about buying this one as I could, in my minds eye, see it bouncing about - and off the dashboard. I am delighted to report that after thoroughly testing this for 5 months it has never even shown the remotest signs of wanting to leave the dashboard and I have tried! Some of my family claim, unjustifiably, that I am a jerky driver but nothing has moved the beanbag. An additional couple of benefits apart from its basic stability are a, you can easily move it around if you have a problem with sunlight affecting your view and b, if you need to make an adjustment you don't have to stretch you can just pick it up. I love it!

Provides a stable platform for large or small units, large surface area to attach suction mounts to, has plenty of weight and friction to resist all but violent driving movements, can slide a little when taking large roundabouts quickly but never fallen off the dashboard yet. The friction surface on the underside will hold the bag on the downslope at the front of my dashboard which has a matt finish and a leather grain effect. I say not perfect because my old beanbag was the Garmin version with 4 flexible wings which required a DIY modification to the mounting surface to take the Tomtom and therefore fiddly to set up but that done the Garmin bag is rock solid and will stay put at some really challenging dashboard angles. This comes about because the Garmin beanbag is fairly free to conform to the curvature of the dashboard whereas the base of the Tomtom is quite rigid and therefore has less surface area in contact with a curved surface. All in all the Tomtom is better than cheaper versions I have tried but you would need to put the supplied self adhesive hook in place on a steeply sloping dashboard, this is worth tolerating in my opinion to avoid the tell tale rings on the windscreen.

As I use the larger screen Tom Tom Sat Navs (previously an XXL 5 inch and now a Start 60 6 inch model), I had explored different means of attaching the devices, but with varying levels of success. The windscreen sticking method depended very much on the atmospheric conditions of the vehicle and as a consequence was not always reliable. The air vent attachment alternative could be fiddly and tended to limit the placement of the sat nav. Having read reviews of the Dashboard Mount (both positive and negative), the general impression seemed to be that its success is largely dependent upon the appropriateness of a vehicle's dashboard. Bearing this in mind, I found that it suits my recent model Kia Sportage perfectly, so I would therefore recommend it to anyone with a similar vehicle. The sheer bulk of the mount ( the term "beanbag" is somewhat misleading) holds it in place, without any requirement to utilize the hook and there is some versatility in terms of where to position the sat nav (on this particular vehicle anyway). To facilitate the speedy setting up of the sat nav, I chose to purchase a small camera case rather than one that is designed specifically for the Tom Tom Start 60. This has enabled me to store the sat nav permanently attached to the mount. In conclusion, this is a great sat nav mount, which I would especially recommend for users of the larger sat navs, but only if it suits the dashboard of your particular vehicle.

Fantastic Product, was contemplating buying one of these for a while but put off by the design as all the cars ive owned have curved dashboards. Its so quick and easy to use, the hook you get with it is rubbish, but completely unneccessary. I placed mine on the dash without the hook, drove round country roads, speed bumps, you name it and hasn't moved at all! Tried it with the sat nav on it, thinking it might tip, but no it was perfect! Once finished, I just lift it off and put it in the door card pocket and there is no sign of having a sat nav in the vehicle. Would definately recommend to anyone. One of the most useful things ive ever bought.

I read all the reviews that state it does not slide about and to some extent that is true, but it does move with vibration and that is why I suspect it is supplied with a stick on hook. It has quite a firm base that does not mould to the shape/angle of the dash like my old bean bag did - hence I would suggest that it will work a lot better on a completely flat area. Quality wise, very good as you would expect from Tomtom. I will cure my problem with some anti slip mat as I like the product, in particular the smaller flat sided shape which takes up less space than the full circle and allows you to position it closer to the screen if required.

I was sick of trying to stick the suction cap of my satnav to the windscreen. Its very awkward to position it right and it leaves ring marks on the windscreen. This has a stiff beanbag base that sits on the flat dashboard. It has a little hook that fixes with adhesive onto the dash but the base itself does not stick down. It doesn't need to because the weight of it keeps it in position. You just wet your suction cup from the satnav and press it onto the centre of this gadget. It stays in position and keeps the satnav steady and it stays where you've put it. Mine is a TomTom Start 60 and it fits this fine. Very pleased.

Excellent - doesn't move at all on Saab 9-3 and no need to use supplementary fixing hook . Thought of buying last year but with mixed reviews and couldn't see the beanbag any where other than on-line decided to buy the TomTom adhesive dashboard disks instead. When we changed the car didn't want to stick a disk on a new dashboard so bought the beanbag. Cut out a cardboard template to make sure it would fit and that there was a sufficiently flat surface for it to rest on as it has a firm rather than malleable base that doesn't mould to the curves on the dashboard. Not only has the beabbag not moved but at no time has the TomTom bracket fallen off the beanbag base - which I had happen when attaching to the windscreen and very occasionally with the adhesive disk. Only one regret - that I didn't buy it last year instead of the adhesive disks.

Bien reçu et très satisfaite de mon achat je recommande vivement très facile à utiliser et très Bon pour gps

Support de GPS efficace ,tient bien en place

Ho una Fiat Multipla ed il prodotto si adatta perfettamente su tutte le parti del cruscotto, sopratutto su quella centrale dietro il contachilometri, mantenendosi letteralmente "incollato" durante ogni tipologia di guida. Vi ho alloggiato un tom tom GO 6100 ed il supporto, con mia grande meraviglia, non si è mai mosso, mantenendosi stabile anche nelle condizioni più difficili e senza nemmeno l'utilizzo del piccolo gancio di sicurezza, incluso nella confezione. Il prodotto, essendo un po' rigido, non aderisce in maniera perfetta sulle superfici non completamente piane o con scalanature sulle quali però svolge egualmente in maniera egregia la propria funzione essendo la base costruita con un ottima gomma antiscivolo. Prodotto veramente valido, lo consiglio a tutti.

dla mnie super, jest bardzo dobrym towarem dopracowany
