Can it be stored in the console or glove box and used when needed, or would that make it not stick as well?

It comes with a clear plastic cover for the sticky pad. if you put that back on after use I think it would not lose effectiveness if stored (but it is easy to lose). I travel with it and noticed without the cover the sticky pad takes on a lot of lint etc... But even with the lint it still sticks fine to the window.

No, it would not stick as well if at all. It has a sticky gel ring around the suction cup base. If the ring looses it's tackiness then you can wash it using water and a mild detergent to make it sick like new again. In my case, since my dashboard has a pebbled texture, the sticky gel ring does all of the work. While in theory one could keep it in the glove box, the practicality of pulling it out, washing it, and waiting for it to air dry before being able to use it nullifies the ability.

I bought it as a Christmas present and haven't used it yet. I have something similar with a GPS stand and it works fine, like a suction cup.

I don't see why not. As long as the gel is clean I think you can use when needed. I have moved mine several times and washed the gel, waited for it to completey dry and put in a different spot. If you are only storing it and using it when needed I think it will be fine. Just make sure gel is clean.

It says that in order for you to reuse it you would need to rinse the gel off with water. I'm not confident that the stickiness would be enough for multiple use.

Well, the problem is you need to wash it and let it dry before you use it again. if you do that, it sticks great.

Mine didn't stick the first time I used it. It was summertime and hot. Put it on the front of the dashboard and it fell off within a few hours out in the sun.

You probably need screws; strong velcro would work too. I actually keep mine in the glove box.

Mine wouldn't stick for anything either... After I left it in the car for a couple of weeks, it stuck just fine. Maybe the glue started to cure or something because now it's stuck good. Won't budge. Also, make sure your dash isn't freshly cleaned - if it's too clean, it won't stick.

I have mine sitting on a large console/armrest between my back two seats and it stays in place.

You can take it off the windshield when you want, if you use the adhesive mount on the dash, you can remove the mount but not the adhesive "puck" without making it useless.

Hi Jen, Thanks for the question. If the console is inside the cabin, I do not see an issue at all. If it is outside, I think it could be fine as long as it is not getting wet as it does need to be plugged in. Otherwise, should sound great! We will bring sunscreen! Contact AV-Express for more information.

There is a USB cable that you can plug into that comes from the back of the unit. You can route the cable into your glovebox if you want it hidden or have it come out of some part of the dash.

Mine doesn't stick on the dashboard either but it serves like an "armrest", I'm assuming. It balances the weight so the whole apparatus doesn't fall off from the windshield because it could get heavy with the arm being long too. Hope this helps.

This is perfect for rental cars because it is not a permanent mount. Simply remove it. It would be best to keep the heavy plastic liner that it is shipped with to place the sticky rubber back on while it is being stored.

I keep mine in the car and have not picked it up. It may fold into itself if I did that.

Sorry, I do not know. When I am not using mine, it is in the house. It's a good question, I do not know how it would do in a car out in a hot parking lot. I hope someone knows, as it is too expensive to get stuck together.

I think it's to be placed on the car's surface so no sticky residue stays behind if removed

Hi Anthony,There is a handle on the under side at the top end of the machine where the console is. If you pick it up it will engage onto the wheels and you can roll it wherever you need to put it. :)

you can put it anywhere you want, in a car or under a car if you get the magnetic steel box that has the two magnets on it. stick anywhere on vehicle you want under car, top of wheel well , aniywhere it will stick out of sight

You can put it anywhere in the car. I have not damaged it from the sun with it sitting on my dashboard, I wouldn't worry about it. I have had it for a few years already...

I believe that as long as you store this unit without tipping it on its sides, the movement while driving itself won't affect your ability to use it. Leave it on its feet when you store it in your RV.
