Great product,very useful and sturdy,solid adherence to the windshield and fully adjustable. MASSIVE surface area on the suction cup, does not budge once it is attached.

After a long wait the TomTom Rider has a car docking kit available. In the box is the dock, a suction cup attachment and a 12 volt (cigarette Lighter) cable. The Suction cup attachment works very well but read the instructions and clean the glass first! Mine came crashing down due to not listening to the instructions.

If you are considering the Rider for your bike my advice is get it. I have truely enjoyed that product.

it should have the same connection as the rider mount, it is hard to put in and take out of the mount you have to put in the mount then open door then plug in. it would be much nicer if it were like the rider mount that goes on my bike with the wire connects right to the mount so all you need to do is set it in the mount and not have to put in the mount then try to open the small trap door and connect the wire.

It works well. The price is OK. It's better than the motorcycle mounts.
The cigarette lighter power connector in the bottom is awkward though, almost very clumsy to work with.

this item was supposed to be a very difficult item to find, but low and behold i found it on amozon .com.... the kit was everything tom-tom said it would be.... i`m very happy with my overall dealings with everyone involved.... i recomend tom-tom to everyone!!!!!

The car speaker works as expected: clear voice and works well with the Rider. That makes the TomTom Rider great for cars; to bad its useless on motorcycles. No glare control makes the TomTomRider 1 star at best

This product is cheap and works. Meaning, it can attach to your windshield and let you connect your TomTom Rider and use it in a car, for those days when you don't feel like taking the Harley out.

However, it also has some serious design flaws. The major one is how it connects to power. Instead of using the Rider's external weather-proof connectors, it forces you to stick the cable through the lower hole, open the little hatch, and connect. Very awkward, particularly if you don't have a tall car with a tall windshield. The minor (yet annoying) flow is the way you are supposed to remove it from the glass: a short plastic strip that, in theory, will release the vacuum when pulled. In practice, it works rarely, forcing you to struggle with the mount until... when, until you break it.

Useful, but had they just copied the Rider's motorcycle mount instead of inventing a new, poorer design, it would have been 5 stars.

I just purcased the Tomtom Rider car kit, and it was very easy to install.
Delivery of the Tomtom was promt and efficient.
