Kensington Dash Car Mount for iPhone and iPod Review

Kensington Dash Car Mount for iPhone and iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Wow, finally we have found something to work to dock the Ipod in the minivan. We had a Belkin dock for a couple years...the one that plugs into the A/C and has the arm that extends out and moves where you want it. We just always had so much trouble with it staying put. We have an Ipod Classic 160GB, and it is the heaviest model, and the dock would always slip because we could never get it to be tight enough in the A/C plug. It was SO FRUSTRATING! This product is great. It is not a power supply and it does not have an FM transmitter. We use a tape deck to play the Ipod through, so that we get the best sound, so we don't need the FM transmitter. And, we have an A/C plug for the Ipod so we just leave it plugged in while we drive so the Ipod doesn't run down the battery. ANYWAY, this Kensington "arm" dock is so great. It turns every which way so that you can mount it anywhere. We have a van that has a console that sticks out so we actually mounted it on the side of the console, so that the Ipod now sits right next to the radio and the cords can all reach. I really recommend this for anyone who does not need the FM transmitter or A/C connector dock. VERY STURDY, VERY EASY TO INSTALL, VERY FLEXIBLE FOR USE, GREAT DESIGN!!
June 2009 update:
We still love this but wanted to update and say that in the summer, the adhesive just doesn't stick so well...so about every time we get in the van we have to re-stick it. It doesn't ever fall when we are in the car, after we re-stick it and we have the AC going...but just when not in use. So at least it is not putting our Ipod in danger of falling. We still love it and would recommend it.

Griffin WindowSeat AUX Windshield/Dashboard Mount for iPhone and Smartphone Review

Griffin WindowSeat AUX Windshield/Dashboard Mount for iPhone and Smartphone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Wow. this thing is the worst product ever from Griffin. I own the original Windowseat and love it. It is very sturdy and rugged. The only problem with the original version is that it is not compatible with the iPhone 4. On Griffin's website, it says that they have no intention of creating an adaptor for the iPhone 4, so I had to bite the bullet and buy a new version that is compatible. I thought I was buying into the Griffin reputation and the original versions durability. Boy was I wrong. This thing is so flimsy that it wags side to side 2 whole inches if you use the included extension arm. On most cars, if you want to attach it to the windshield, you will need to use the extension arm. The ball socket actually broke on me while I was assembling it. All I have to say is that if you plan to buy it, set it and forget it. Because if you need to move it, it will break eventually. The box it came in is worth more than this joke of a product.
On the other hand, the ball joint is the exact same size as the original WindowSeat, so I have trashed the rest of it and will go back to the original mount and use the new appliance holder... until it breaks.
Come on Griffin!!! Make an adaptor or make something that works. This product is a joke! So I guess the joke is on me.

Griffin WindowSeat Windshield car mount for iPhone 3G with iPod touch 1G Adapter and Auxiliary Audio Cable Review

Griffin WindowSeat Windshield car mount for iPhone 3G with iPod touch 1G Adapter and Auxiliary Audio Cable
Average Reviews:

This product works exactly as advertised. In fact, based on what I had read in the other reviews I would actually say that it works better than advertised. The suction cup works so well that the only thing I can figure is that the person that had problems with it did not understand how it worked. It is not the standard type of suction cup where you simply press it against the windshield and hope it holds. This suction cup works by placing it against the windshield and then turning the knob counterclockwise in order to pull the center portion away from the windshield. As it does this it creates a vacuum seal that so tight that you are more likely to dislodge the windshield than you are to remove this device from it.
The iPhone fits perfectly into the holder and the aux cable is nice and thin. I actually used the phone in this setup when I wanted to have a conference call and the other person's voice coming out of the car stereo worked great for that purpose.
The only caveat I would list is that if your car has a long sloping windshield you may find the extension not quite long enough to bring the phone within reach. You may be able to compensate for this by mounting it up higher. I drive a Jeep Wrangler and it has a pretty vertical windshield so I don't have this problem.

I had a previous one very similar and gave it to my son. This one works fine too, with very little to none interference.I enjoy the music with my iphone4 through the car stereo system The remote control is essentially useless as it need to be pointed directly to the top where the digital display is (something you don't want to be doing while driving).

Before I got this because I got the iPhone 4, I had an FM transmitter that had a long cord and a separate window car mount. I had to get this because the old mount wouldn't fit my new iPhone. I like this all in one solution and plus it includes a USB 5V charger so if you're on a trip you could potentially charge, let's say your cellphone or your digital camera.
Some problems I can forsee are that the FM channel switch is on the side of the device. So if you're on the go and the music goes to static or tunes into a different station, there would be no real easy way of changing it on the fly. Though I guess doing that is pretty dangerous while driving anyway.
Also not a problem for me but like one of the other guys said. His cigarette lighter is on the bottom which makes it impractical for him to use this comfortably and it makes it quite dangerous because he would need to look down. My lighter is located near my console so this is perfect for me. So take that into serious consideration.

Satechi CR -3600 car holder mount for iPhone 4, 3G & 3Gs, BlackBerry Torch, HTC EVO, DROID, Samsung EPIC on Windshield and Dashboard Review

A few weeks ago I was looking for a mounting solution for my iPhone in my Dodge truck, and was intrigued by the description and reviews I saw of this one. A few days later, it arrived & I began experimenting with different ways to mount it. The more ways I tried, the more I realized how versatile of a mount this is. My mounting location of choice was the overhanging lip of the dashboard, above and to the right of the steering wheel. However, the dash is composed of sort of rippled, patterned plastic, and I seriously doubted that I could get any kind of suction cup mount to work.
Amazingly, the "Smart Pad" that comes with this mount solves this problem perfectly, although it is not very well described in the enclosed instructions. The Smart Pad is simply a tacky, very soft rubber-like disc, which is placed between a non-uniform mounting surface, and the suction cup mount. Somehow, by applying suction against it from the suction cup mount side, the soft surface against the non-uniform mounting surface conforms to that surface and maintains suction against it. Once I figured this out, I successfully managed to mount my iPhone just above and to the right of steering wheel. I set it up so that it was easily visible while driving, got good GPS reception through the windshield, and was easily touched from my right hand, even while holding on to the steering wheel.
But, how well would it hang on to the overhanging lip, and how long would it stay? The true test came right away: a drive from from Arizona to Alaska via the Alaska Highway - four days of normal road vibration, followed by about two days of rough roads with potholes, and frostheaves. The result: it didn't come off even once. I had to worry about mosquitoes, shifting trailer loads, and high gas prices. But never about my iPhone coming loose.
A couple of weeks later, it continues to hang on tightly. No longer do I have to fumble around with my iPhone to change songs, or try to wrestle it out from in between the seats, where it's slid into on a corner.
Overall, a convenient mounting option for the iPhone that is versatile, well-made, and easy to use.
