Product Description
Innovative and highly practical, this mount uses your existing cradle. A lot of our customers worry about security. The vent is a great location for your GPS. It keeps it within arm's reach and out of site from the bad guys. The mount uses your existing Nuvi cradle. Like the factory mount, we use the round hole in the back of the cradle to attach to our vent mount. The power port can be fully accessed.

 Simple and easy September 11, 2008
I just got my car vent mount for my Nuvi 650 and installed it in my Highlander in about 30 seconds - I love it!!! So much better than the suction cup that came with the unit and I didn't like the "bean bag" look. Highly recommend!
 Design flaw May 16, 2008
I got this product because some states (like California) have made it illegal to use the windshield mounts. It does snap into the cradle alright, but not with the car charger cord installed. I consider this a design flaw, so be advised if you're going on a long trip where you'd need to charge the unit with the car charger.
Highly recommended April 14, 2008

I was excited to receive my mount just 3 days after ordering it (the fastest I'd ever received anything off of Amazon doing standard shipping!) As soon as I ripped open that little box, it wasn't but just a couple of minutes that I had the vent mount assembled and ready to go - I really didn't even need to read the directions, but made sure to double check them before I attached the mount to my vent (I have an '06 Corolla, which luckily comes with horizontal slats on the vents).
I only bought a GPS (Nuvi 660) for an upcoming vacation to a different state. After buying such an expensive piece of equipment, I was rather unimpressed with the suction cup mount that it came with. I checked into the beanbag mount at local retailers, but found they were $30+ to purchase. I didn't like how they looked and thought they might fall off just as easy, plus it seems like a huge attraction to thieves that my GPS is just sitting up there for all to see. So, you can imagine my surprise when I jumped online and found something that attaches to my vent and for only $10! Even if it didn't work, it didn't seem like such a big waste of money & time.
The vent mount turned out to be worth my money. It was easy to clip on, pop on my GPS, and go! They say the stabilzing bar is optional to use, but I definitely had to use it to keep the vent from moving downward because of the weight. It was easy to remove the GPS off the mount and just as easy to detach the mount off the vent. I don't have much advice to offer if you have vertical slats on your vents, but when looking at the mount, it doesn't seem like it would be hard to adjust with a little bit of creative maneuvering.
All in all, I highly recommend this product for the price it sells at. I couldn't be any happier with my purchase!
 New design is totally useless, friction won't hold 650 model up December 23, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bougth one of these about two years ago and was pleased with it. In Dec. 2007 I purchased two more. The new ones have a different design that is totally useless. It is a sawtooth friction that will not allow you to adjust the friction and it will not support the weight of the Garmin 650. It just falls all the way forward. When I rotated it 90 degrees so that it would only have to support rotating it horizonally I had similar problems.
Major Flaw in Design December 19, 2007

This mount has a major flaw in its design, you have to use the Nuvi cradle that came with your GPS, but the problem is the cradle does not fit correctly into the mount with the power cable attached to the back of the cradle. My work around is to make sure the Nuvi is fully charged when I need it and use the side USB connector when the battery gets low. The side USB connector works if you're navigating to a destination, but otherwise, the Nuvi thinks you're trying to connect to a computer. Also, this vent mount easily moves from center to left or right when you turn the car, it's too loose and there's no way to tighten to minimize this swivel action. The two stars for me is the mount fits well in either center vents of a 2008 BMW 328i.
