What kind of cars are owners of this device using it in? I've tried different ones and none have mounted securely in my 2010 Camaro.

I have mine mounted in a 2012 Mustang. Getting the clip to attach to the vent required a little pressure, but not much. Are your vents rectangular? I know my last car had circular vents, which I don't think would have been compatible with this mount.

I bought a Onyx Plus and installed the supplied mounting plate on the car cradle only to discover that it blocked access to the power jack. On closer inspection I realized that the radio's car cradle already had a slot for the windshield mount. I then removed the supplied mounting plate and connected the mount directly to the radio's cradle and it worked perfectly.

Not for the 1998 Camry I had one before. There is no security system build in this model.

It depends on where you mount the device. I mounted on the face of the dashboard and it works great. The whole idea with the sticky pad is so it gives you versatility mounting positions.

The plastic mount bracket has a flat back with 2 mount holes. It will best mount without modification to a flat surface. The front plastic release unclips to release or secure the device. Do not use this for racing, this is not a professional racing approved device. This is commercial household grade.

I first thought of a dash mount, but the camera is designed to use a windshield mount, and too much retrofit to change it. Once I tried the windshield mount provided and mounted it just in front of the rear view mirror, I've been satisfied. Give it a try. If it's not what you want or like, you can return it for something else.

I borrowed one an have used with success on my 1999 Lexus RX300. I could not get the torque free app to work though, and ended up using Piston app on android tablet, works well with that one.

Hey Pete! I did a center mount on my c6. It's got plenty of slack in the wires, so that's not a problem. I would have to say though, make sure you mount it tight underneath to the top, mine is already smashed, I pulled too close to a parking spot curb block, so the mechanics on my device are broken. Good luck!

I have a Toyota RAV4 SUV and when I attached it to the visor in the car it just kept flopping down. It most definitely did not work in my car. It was pretty funny as I had to drive holding the visor up with one hand.

I use the suction mount that it came with, I bought a heavy glass ashtray & silicone glued the suction flat to it. makes it more stable & does not tip over. Sits on the dashboard so both of us can see it.

I couldn't get if to stick to my Chevy dashboard either. I mounted it on my side window (door window) where it hasn't moved since i mounted it.

I agree with Space Godzilla... I've mounted this both ways (two different cars needing opposite orientation). There's a slotted knob which you can loosen/tighten on the back of the pivot. When loose, you can rotate the holder 360 deg, and adjust the angle up/down/left/right. Get it in the right position then tighten (you'll have to remove the whole device from the CD slot to get access).

I don't know. I never heard of anybody having a problem. Try camaro 5 forum. All the answers to your questions are found there.

Jeremy you are right. It needs some way to lock it closed when wrestling it into and out of your car. Mine flops open and hangs up every time. I'm going to try a cinch strap and I'm sure I will find something at the auto parts store but the manufacturer definitely dropped the ball here. Wake up NOVA!

I don't use the provided mount. I have placed Velcro on the dash and unit - it is much more secure, has a lower profile from potential police and/or theft. Having it mounted this way it does not get into one's visual field and it works as it should.

Watch a YouTube video first, or Google a photo of it installed in your type of car.it worked in my car,and I have what you would describe as "side movement style"locks
