Since the charger connects to the mount, does that mean you can't have a friction mount on the dash?

You should be able to use any friction mount that will accept the Garmin ball mount. It would probably be best to buy the mount specifically made for the Garmin to avoid problems. It is more expensive generally but you would be very happy with it.

You have to use the ball socket type bracket that snaps around the screen. Then you can snap the screen bracket to a suction cup or friction ball mount available through Garmin.

The charger actually stands out of the way so does not cause any friction in operating. It's a good buy.

The charger connects to the unit. I have my unit sitting on the dashboard via a friction mount. Works fine.

I thought I'd read that CA amended that rule in 2009 and drivers could use mounts as long as they were clearly on the left half of the windshield? Might want to look into that. Regardless, the best friction mount I've tried (and I've tried 4 now) is the Gilsson found here: http://www.amazon.com/Gilsson-UBM-Portable-Non-Skid-Dashboard/dp/B000ZSUQ9M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1271436738&sr=8-4 It's a bit ugly, but it's very flexible and heavy where most of the others are inflexible and too light to really do the job.

You can attach this unit to the dashboard as long as you can find the flat surface for the suction cup. This product desires a 5star rating because the build quality is good

yes, I'm not sure if you can get a wall mount or not- the charger just sets on the floor

Some of the older Nuvi's have charging connectors that are part of the cradle that the unit sits in. If you have one of this type that has the cradle that pushes on to the "ball" you will need to use that cradle with this mount. The newer ones you connect as usual before attaching to the holder that snaps on to the ball.

Yes, I have a usb port in my car so I always have it connected to the charger while in use. It works great while it's charging or not.

The 'red pad' is covering sticky tape.. You would tape that part to your dash or whatever as a place you would suction the rest of the mount to on a regular basis.

No. Would require adaptor and some different footing so would stay on the dash ... it is quite nice on the desktop.

There is an open place in the bottom piece the phone rests on. I am able to connect my car charger. My headphone jack is on top of the phone, so can't comment on connecting that specifically. We really like this mount, using it with note 3.

No you woukd need an adapter. I like this just for my car because I have a bad habit of removing the chargers and not having one when I need it the most.

The charging mechanism connects to the GPS system. The mount itself has nothing to do with it. A bracket fits on the GPS system which allows it to be connected to the mount.

Interesting question: I am going to try mounting it in my new car and see what happens. I can velcro tape it to the dash. Never thought of it but this may be another application for the same equipment.

I dont have to take off when i use my car charger. Not sure wht the other person is talking about.

I believe it's a flat charger, so no it won't slide. If you have it angled, yes it will.

Not a friction fit - there are snap mounts that hold it in place. My has held solidly ever since I installed it, btw.

My charger did not come with a wall mount piece. I'm using it as free standing.
