Mounting an after market Sat Nav

Seagull · 1 Jan 2006

Santa brought me the new Becker Traffic Assist and I need help with mounting it :?
- no smart answers here, please.

At the moment, I have pushed it through the cup holder but it doesn't stay properly in place when cornering and I don't want to stick the cup thingy to the dashboard because it will look
cr@p
.

How have you peeps mounted your after market sat navs?

The previous owner to my 996 had one on the dash and had left round black disc still attatched which i was v.nervous about taking off but it did without a mark.

I have seen few sucker attatchments for windows but not sure wether it block your line of sight.

Loads on Ebay

Just had a good look on Ebay and there's a few diffrent types, did search for 'sat nav mount' and then just 'mount' brought up loads of stuff.

The black disc just peeled off and the glue seemed to be quite rubbery so no marks.

Probably more luck than judgement, it might not have been on for a long time so nobody shouting about the hole they've now got in the dash please.lol

The mounting bracket is like a slimmer version of a Tomtom one but to mount it on the windscreen would either put it out of reach or in the sightline.
