5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!, June 28, 2004

This review is from: Garmin Suction Cup Mount including speaker w/12V cable (iQue 3600 not included) (Office Product)

First I had bought the Auto Navigation Kit to keep my Garmin iQue 3600 on the dashboard. Any quick acceleration though and my Garmin would be on the floor, waste of money.
Then this Garmin Suction Cup Mount came out; works perfect. We just cruised 3 weeks through Italy, France and Spain in my Alfa Romeo (V6 and sport tires & suspension = good test). Did some 4,000 km of all kind of road and driving conditions, including cobblestones, curvy coastal roads and bumpy secondary and mountain roads. Not once did the suction cup mount come loose from the windshield. Also, having the car sit parked in the hot sun for hours did not do any harm to the windshield-mounted device.
The cup mount installs and is removed in seconds. Clear voice sound from the speaker with easy volume control.
Other than that, it keeps your iQue 3600 charged, which you need as the battery does not last too long.
A definite must have if you want to use your iQue 3600 for car navigation.

I purchased an IQue 3600 and I realized that I need a car adapter. So, I bought the Garmin suction cup car adapter. It works great. With a built in amplified speaker I can hear it loud and clear, and the convinience is that you can hang it any place on the glass in the cars.

This mount works very well.

The iQue 3600 clips into the cradle and is held very securely (it won't release until you press the release button on the side of the cradle.) Look at the back of your iQue and you'll see two small rectangular holes--the cradle has tabs that fit into these holes which securely lock the PDA into place. Simply place the PDA onto the cradle and rotate backwards until you feel it "click" into place. I've never had my iQue fall out.

Power is supplied to the iQue via integrated power connector on the base of the cradle (the power and speaker connect automatically when you place the PDA into the cradle.) The cradle is connected to the vehicle's power via a cigarette lighter plug. This plug, in addition to power, utilizes an integrated speaker (with volume control) which routes all sounds (and voice prompts) through it. This is very nice, although the external speaker sounds just as "tinny" as the PDA's built-in speaker.

The suction cup mount works very well. Others here have complained that their suction cup won't stick to the windshield, or that it falls off easily. I too had the same problem until I moistened the surface of the cup with a wet finger. Once moistened, the suction cup stays put! Actually, now I have a difficult time getting the suction cup to release from the windshield!

I only have two complaints about this mount:

1. It seems a bit flimsy. It's made entirely out of plastic and I can see the plastic tab for the suction cup breaking if not used carefully.

2. If you're using an external antenna, it must be connected manually to the top of the PDA. Garmin should have included some type of integrated antenna connector in the base of the PDA (and mount) so that an external antenna would connect automatically by placing the unit in the cradle.
