I have an older GPS that doesn't have its own bracket to hold it on the dashboard. I got this magnetic mount to see if it would solve my problem. It did! Beautifully too.
First I installed the metal plate on the back of the GPS.
I cleaned the dashboard with plain rubbing alcohol in the areas I thought I might want to install the mount.
While that was drying I played around with the base of the mount on the dashboard of my wheel estate until I got it in the perfect place that suits me.
Now I used the 3M included tape on the base of the mount to stick it to the dashboard.
Next I stuck the GPS on the magnet of the mount.
Then I adjusted the round knob in back that allows me to angle the GPS at the perfect viewing level.
The kit came with both a rectangle metal mount and a round metal mount.
The round mount included 3M tape already attached, just peel and stick.
The rectangle did not, but I had some double-sided Scotch outdoor mounting tape on hand, so I used that to attach the rectangle to my GPS. I wanted to use the rectangle in case while driving I needed to adjust the GPS for better viewing. I probably could have used the round mount just fine.
My kit arrived in a box labeled Magnetic Air Vent Mount, but it was for the dashboard, so open the box first before you assume you got the wrong product. Inside, mine was the correct product.
