Product Description
This is a unique mounting kit. Use it on your dash or on the windshield.
Excellent for those not wanting to stick anything on the dash. This mount combines the best of a suction based base and a non skid heavyweight dash. Weighing almost 3 pounds, this mount doesn't use glue and isn't going to move once you have it in place. The heavy dash base features a smooth surface so that the suction mount can adhere directly just like on the windshield.
Wanna travel and not lug the heavy mount? No problem, the suction based mount can be removed to use on the windshield of your rental vehicle or just use on a second car.

Beanbag Mount does its job! September 5, 2010
Raymond Pengelly
Simple but effective. Easy to use and remove. Does not slide around on my Acura dash. I always take it off the dash in hot conditions. Nicely made and good value.

I wanted a dash-level mount so as not to attach my Beltronics radar detector on the windshield and also increase its effectiveness. The bag stays put on my dash and the velcro works to keep the detector on the mount. It's a little large and bulky but it needs to be in order to stay stable. I have no complaints.

I purchased this about a month ago for my Passport radar detector that i have in my Toyota Tacoma. So far i have mixed feelings
The Pros:
1) Does a surprisingly good job of not sliding side-to-side on the dashboard, even when i take a sharp corner relatively fast.
2) The suction cup that attaches the mounting attachment to the beanbag seems very high quality and so far has not released.
3) Dont have to deal with my detector falling off the windshield while driving or after sitting in the sun all day.
The Cons:
1) My Tacoma has a relatively shallow dashboard (and slightly slanted) and if i drive on too bumpy of a road the mount will eventually move towards the windshield and the radar detector will vibrate against it. I have found myself having to pull the mount back towards me several times a trip if the road is rough. Highway driving is no problem and if your dashboard is deep or level you probably wouldnt have this issue.
2) I chose to attach my detector to the mounting attachment using the provided velcro. I live in Arizona and have found that the desert sun melts the sticky side of the velcro during the day. I am going to try the other provided tape and if that doesnt work will probably have to wrap a rubberband or something else around the unit to keep it in place.
3) I'm worried that if i leave the beanbag on the dash all the time that you might see a circle as the dash fades from the sun. I try to either put up my window shade or set the unit on the floor if its going to be in the sun all day.
Like i said, overall if have mixed feelings. If i can come up with something to stop the beanbag from vibrating towards the windshield i think i will be happy with it. I'll post and update if i come up with something
Fantastic product August 9, 2010

I recently purchased this Heavyweight Beanbag dash mount,to be used with my Escort Passport 9500ix Radar/Laser Detector. At first I was skeptical that this mount would stay in place on the dash and wouldn't slide around. After using this product now for over four months, I can say that I am very happy with my purchase. I know that the beanbag mount sold my Escort has an adhesive on the mount where you place your detector.Unfoutunaely this means that you can't remove the detector once you secure it to the adhesive mount.This mount has a smooth surface. They stated to use velcro to hold the detector on it,but I think the velcro may block the rear laser on the detector.I have found that by wrapping a large rubberband around the detector and the plate on the beanbag,that it holds it securely and allows you to remove the detector easily.This comes in handy if you want to secure the detector in the glove box while your car is parked in public.It also allows you to use it in another vehicle easily.This beanbag mount has not so much as moved on my dash,and it does the job perfectly.Like California,my state outlaws placing your detector on your windshied,so this works perfect for that reason too. I highly recommend this product for securing your radar detector to it on your dash.I haven't used it with a GPS unit,so I can't comment on that application. I couldn't be happier with this product.

 Big and bulky August 3, 2010

It's big and bulky. To me it is an eye sore. Having a detector on your dash board is ugly enough but to have this big bag along with the detector makes it even worse. It also leaves impressions or marks on any leather dash board. Returned the product.
