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

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.

What a life saver for me this product is for my TomTom SatNav. My TomTom would not stick to my window screen and I rely on my TomTom for long journeys so I thought I'd buy this and boy was I glsd I did. It is a little rigid but it needs to be to allow the TomTom suction to work. It is placed on my dashboard which is closer to me which enables me to press the keyboard more safely than having it on my window screen. The TomTom beanbag is weighted enough so it does not move or slide about. I am very pleased with the delivery and of course the item. I would recommend it to anyone, in my opinion it is much safer.

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.

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!

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.

Bought this product after all the positive reviews on Amazon. Took it out for the first time today. Like a lot of the other reviewers say, I didn't use the anchor hook. Having this stuck to the dashboard is a sure sign there is a TomTom in the vehicle somewhere. A lot said it would work without. I tried it without on the flattest piece of my new Ford KA's dashboard. (Bought the car in 2011.) The part above the stereo it came straight off, as did the part on the passenger side. I tried to the right of the driver's console. It didn't move, but that was probably more due to the fact the TomTom was jammed between the dashboard using it's mount on the beanbag and it's own body against the windscreen. Also being a small car, in this position, it does obscure my driving view. If you want to try one of these out for your car, I suggest buying it from Amazon. It is a very heavy accessory, and Amazon allowed me to return it free of cost. Sellers may not, as it won't be technically defective, so you may end up footing a large postage return cost due to its weight to a seller. In conclusion, if you own a Ford KA, I would say, save your money and use the mount stuck to the windscreen. The new mounts on my new TomTom Go 6000 fixes really easily and securely on the windscreen (without the need to wet it first so doesn't leave many rings behind.) The telltale ring that is left behind I can easily remove with the microfiber duster I keep in my door pocket. So save your money and go find a cheap duster instead!

A substantial item that sits on the dashboard and does not move at all thanks to the grippy material on the base. I leave the TomTom on the base all the time meaning it's easy to get out of the glove box, just flip up the TomTom and go. There is less drop off than on the windscreen with the weight of the TomTom acting into the sucker rather than pulling away from it. Also my TomTom is now in easier reach (my Honda Civic windscreen was a long way from the drivers seat) and I can click through to the traffic updates more easily and safely. A really useful product and I do wonder how I survived without it.

To be honest we don't use the sat nav very often so when they stopped updating the old one we bought a cheaper model but it had a rubbish holder. The car has a sat nav, but I still think TomTom are better and get updated more regularly. Anyway the holder was rubbish so we went for this and I can say it is perfect. Once it is screwed on it does not move, even when you angle the screen about, it does not shift either when on the dashboard and we have never bothered to use the hook provided. When you park, easy to pick up the whole lot and put in the boot and no marks on the windscreen like the old one. It feels quick chunky and heavy, which is useful for keeping it in place and we even leave it on to update via pc.

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

Un produit très satisfaisant et efficace. Le système de ventouse TomTom tient formidablement bien sur la surface lisse. Le support ne bouge absolument pas (et je n'ai pas jugé nécessaire d'installer la patte de fixation supplémentaire) ni sur route en mauvais état, ni dans les virages (quelque soit leur angle et/ou leur rayon et la vitesse à laquelle on les prend) A conseiller à tous ceux qui ne veulent plus d'empreintes sur le pare brise et qui veulent rapprocher le TomTom d'eux. De plus ce support permet une installation et un rangement rapide (sans démontage/remontage du GPS)

Dieser Halter eignet sich für alle die keine nervigen Abdrücke an der Scheibe haben wollen oder die das Navi schnell verstauen wollen. Vor dem Kauf sollte man prüfen ob man entsprechend Platz auf dem Armaturenbrett hat die Oberfläche sollte möglichst eben sein da der Halter sehr Steif ist. So die Pro's + Dank der Glasscheibe oder Hartplastik wer weiß, hält eigentlich jedes Navi oder Handyhalter mit einem Saugnapf + Auf ensprechend möglichst flacher Oberfläche hält der Halter samt Navi bombenfest auch bei Starkem Bremsen oder etwas schnellerem Fahren engerer Kurven bleibt alles an seinem Platz + Eine gute Verarbeitung + schnelles Verstauen samt Navi im Handschuhfach(wenn es reinpasst^^) Kontra - könnte vlt. ein klein wenig mehr biegsam sein, damit es sich an evtl. leicht gebogene Armaturenbretter besser anpasst. Mit 1 oder 2 "Knickstellen" Könnte hier möglicherweise Abhilfe geschaffen werden, aber es hält auch so gut. Fazit Bei meinem Mazda 6 (2007er) hält es samt Navi sicher auf dem Armaturenbrett. Lässt sich aber auch schnell im Handschuhfach verstauen. Da man es für alles was einen Saugnapf hat benutzen kann kann ich es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen, vorrausgesetzt man hab die entsprechende Flache(es geht auch eine leicht gebogene) Fläche auf dem Armaturenbrett 19x19cm sollten ausreichen. Würde ich mir auf jeden Fall wiederkaufen.
