The cradle only mounts to Ram Mount accessories. You need the diamond mount with ball, Ram Mount arm of your choice and Ram mount attachment of your choice.

The RAM holder is only compatible with RAM mounts. You can't use this cradle directly on a Garmin ball pedestal. The connection on the back is a diamond shaped adapter.

Hello, The RAM-B-238U attaches to the back of the cradle, it is a diamond shaped ball and then it mounts on RAM-B-201U.

That's strange. I got mine to face straight on and not upward with just the base mount. Like you, I didn't care for the long extension, it was a little obnoxious. That said, maybe check the tilt on the piece that the GPS holder mounts on?

You can stick the "black round thing" anywhere on the dash board. Then you can attach your garmin mount like attaching to windshield. Make sure you decide where you want it on the dash board (once you stick it, it is kind of stuck there for ever). Remove the thin film on the white tape (hard to remove). Once removed, it's very sticking. Before sticking it on the dash board plan ahead. Good luck!

this works great with the Nuvi. The one I have came with a "cradle" that snaps right on to the "ball" part of the mount. My GPS is older so it is small enough that the adjustable cradle that came with the Amzer mount would work fine also. I love this dash mount

This is the model that I have, and it does work, although it is somewhat unwieldy. What I did was cut a hole in the foam padding that comes with the case (There are 3 foam inserts, and I used all 3 of them) and mount the power plug into that hole. This actually works to make the GPS easy to remove and install in the holder. If you want, I can send you a picture of it mounted.

If you are asking how to secure the actual garmin device itself, when you purchase the nuvi, it comes with it's own square, hard, black, plastic clasp that attaches to the nuvi. That then inserts into the pointed mount that sticks up out of the mounting plate. Then the sticky mounting plate sticks to the top of your dashboard. If you buy just the friction mount with the case, you cannot mount your nuvi without that aforementioned square hard black plastic clasp. You MUST have that clasp in order for it to mount onto the friction mount.

It will hold the GPS. But while you are driving the car GPS will surely fall off. I will not prefer you to buy this Skidproof item. Secondly after few days all dust will cover the item and no longer that will stick to the dash board.

Your GPS should have a suction cup to mount it to the windshield. The same suction cup will stick to the plastic disk in the middle of the Dashboard Mount.

If you have the Garmin Nuvi gps then just attached the gps to the ball. If you have other brand name gps then the beanbag will not work. call the seller asking them to send you the missing clamp. hope this help.

Actually, the ball joint did not fit my garmin. The ball was too small. But I was able to remove the pin and replace the ball with the part from my old mount. I only needed the suction that way and it has worked great since then.

The ball on the stem of the mount should snap into the hole in the back of your GPS. The fit is tight but it should snap right on.

This picture is correct. This is just the holder for the Garmin. I use it in my canoe. I had to buy a mount to attach this holder onto. This holder can be attached to your dash with two screws if you can get to the back side of your dash. The screws need to come from the back and screw into the back side of this holder.

I agree with dgminer and William Costley - it took a lot of force for me to get the socket of the clip securely onto the ball of the friction mount. The GPS will still vibrate a little, especially if you pivot it up off the base. I keep mine fairly low on the base to prevent this.

I bought one for my son and it was mailed to another state. My son, a techy, is happy with it. I read the advertisement and it states it is also windshield mount. Also, from the available pictures, I can see that the phone holder is ball mount, therefore, it can be moved 360 degrees for viewing. The advertisement states it comes with 3M sticky tape for surfaces not perfectly flat - so you can put the tape on a flat surface, mount the rubber gripper, then mount the suction clip device holder. I think you would be safe with this purchase.

Thanks so much for your advice! I drove myself nuts for several days trying to figure out how to attach the nuvi to the mount and your method plus a consumer-posted photo of the friction mount on Amazon finally did the trick. Garmin should be ashamed of itself for not providing directions.

You need a RAM Mount. This consists of a handlebar clamp with a ball on it, an articulating RAM "arm" that attaches to the ball on the clamp (I have the shortest 1.75" arm) and a ball mount bolted on to the back of the GPS mount. My GPS mount is on a BMW GS, which has a Canbus electrical system, so I have the GPS connected to the battery via a Centech AP-1 fuse box.

Neither. This is just the mount for the phone with a ball in the back. You'll need to buy a separate mount. What I bought was Ram Mount Composite Short Double Socket Arm for 1-Inch Ball Bases and RAM Zinc Coated U-Bolt Mounting Base with 1 inch Ball There are other options as well. Check the RAM website.
