[bit OT] Solid ipaq car mount for 7

[MartinS]

Hi all,

 

I'm currently using an ipaq (4150) to run Tomtom on, and the current car mounting kit I have is utter rubbish. It's the type that has a suction cup on the end of a long wire and a holder, and with the vibrations and movement in the 7 the thing wobbles all over the place!

 

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience of a good solid ipaq cradel that doesn't wobble so much? I'm happy with the suction cup bit as I'd also like to use the ipaq in the tintop every so often.

 

Cheers!

I've heard very good things about RAM mounts. No personal experience, but www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk do them with a return period.

heavy duty velcro and attach it straight to the dash... works for me and cheap!

I have a ram mount fitted in the 7, and it is good. I use this to locate my Origin B2 just in front of the gearstick.

There are lots of different types to chose from, and finding somewhere to put it can be a bit of a challenge!

You could mount it to the dash, possibly with a magnetic mount, bonded to the inside of the dash.

Thanks very much for the help guys, I'm going to start looking for a Ram mount (where is the nearest field? )
