How well would this hold a radar detector when its charger cord is tugging on it?

It's sticky for the first month or two. Even at its stickiest, I don't think it could handle a device much heavier than an iPhone with a cord tugging at it unless it had a lot if surface area making contact. After a couple months, thus thing loses it's stickiness. I even tried to clean it, but it doesn't spear to be as good as it was new.

From top down, you just "pop" it in. Its a very sticky/grippy rubber. So far, it's worked on every skinny to mesium electronic charging cord I've given it.

The charger hangs on a bracket. It looks like you could turn the tabs around on the back of the unit. why not get a longer cord that goes into the charger.

I have not received mine yet, but based on the pictures, I would think that a good cut resistant steel cable looped through a vehicle bumper or something similar (two cinder blocks is 80 lbs) with a strong pad-lock would at least deter a would-be thief somewhat. If a thief wants something bad enough they will find a way to get it. (Make sure that your system is listed on your homeowners insurance.) I plan on having a motion activated light & alarm aimed right at my charger as well.

Unless your dashboard is receptive to the suction cup on the bottom of the device (my car has a vinyl dash)my initial response would be no. The window mount partially obstructs the front of the radar detector ( mine is a Cobra) and I found that this interferes with it's performance as it calls for a clear view of the road from the windshield. Good Luck.

No I don't, but I use a lot of bungie cords, different sizes from 3/16, 3/8, & 7/16, and all of them are strong, never broke any! I'm assuming 1/2 inch would pull a car if you needed to? I'm sure it will meet your need. I used 3/8 & 7/16 to hold a tarp down on the top of a 10 X 20 building and they lasted over 6 months. Ken Hockin Alvin, Texas

There is a soft netting compartment inside where I put my charger and cord. It's a tight fit, but it works.

No experience with that charger, but it should do the job. One note to radio operators; you cannot run the charger when receiving as it creates much QRN.

I don't think that would be feasible. I believe they would definitely fall out. Gravity holds the controllers against the charger contacts and that would only work with it lying flat.

I have a hoyt charger. 30" axel to axel. Plenty of room. Great rugged case. Heavy duty. Only down side is weight but that's because it's tough.

Yes....you are going to love the functionality of this item. It's like a clamp and holds your device in place and the cord hangs loosely next to it. It stays on the dashboard and does not slip.......I am so happy i found this item and highly recommend it.

Limited space. Will accommodate GPS unit and a cord or two but not much else. May need to keep suction mount on windshield or purchase the bean bag type mount that will stow away inside the vehicle. I keep my 255 and a power cord in case and I purchased an additional case for my radar detector.

Linda, I'm uncertain if you can use this for a radar detector. What I do know is if your radar detector comes with a suction cup base then I would certainly think it would work. The round bases are made of very hard plastic or Bakelite and is made for a suction type of attachment that ultimately holds articles that you place upon it. Mine worked great for a GPS. Hope this explanation helps you.

i did'nt hardwire my radar detector in. i plug mine into the cigarette lighter foreasy plug in and removal in case i get pulled over it won't be seen easily.

I see that as a very appropriate use of this particular detector. It could save a life. The only possible problem I can see is if the tractor's ignition system is very noisy, and the detector sees that noise as possible lightning. If so, the detector will tell you it does not like the environment it is being used in, and will ask to be repositioned. But at the bottom line, I would buy one and try it out. I expect you will like it. I know I would never go hiking in lightning season without carrying one of these little detectors.

Lift straight up on the charging end of the battery, it should lift out without any problem. Don't force the plastic tab it is only there to stop the battery from falling off of the charging unit.
