I BOUGHT THIS ITEM TO USE IN MY MIATA. SINCE IT IS MANUAL STICK SHIFF, I COULDN'T INSTALL THIS ON THE CONSOLE SO I TRIED TO USE IT ON THE DASH BOARD. BUT IT WOULDN'T STAY IN PLACE. IT WOULD FALL OFF THE DASHBOARD PRACTICALLY EVERY TIME I TOUCHED THE BRAKE. SO IT HAD MAJOR STABILITY AND SAFETY ISSUES. I ENDED UP USING THE SUCTION CUP HOLDER THAT CAME WITH MY GARMIN.
