Durrsaku Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Well i have just received the new Tom Tom Go 910 but not quite sure where to mount it on the Passat, with its standard mount i tried the bottom of the windscreen but i find it is too far away to see the map properly, I guess i might have to buy another mounting bracket or something but where to put it? Would appreciate if someone could post a picture of their set up. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonder_lander Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 No picture I'm afraid but mine is at the bottom of the screen touching the dashboard. It's right in the middle at the bottom and I find it no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meriafel Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I too have mine mounted at the bottom of the screen in the centre and it is not a problem. It doesn't require you to take your eyes off the road and neither does it create a blind spot of any consequence. Can't see there is any real alternative? Keen to see if you can find an alternative position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Well it is exactly the place where i have it at the moment but found that it was a bit far to be able to touch the screen or even see it clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Brodit (I think that's what they are called) do a range of clips that go on your air vents. Supposed to work with the 'sat well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meriafel Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 My Passat was already fitted with a airvent mounted Nokia 6310i phone clip similar to a Brodit that I originally intended to remove but having realised the practicality of this position for a phone and its surprising rigidity I instead bought a Nokia off ebay and am delighted with both. Whether a Brodit will be strong enough for the much heavier satnav remains to be seen but you will then have the problem of having to leave the Brodit in place, advertising the fact that you have a satnav possibly in your glovebox. The airvent fitting isn't an item easily removed. The windscreen suction device is very easy to remove/refit and then doesn't advertise your satnav for a possible breakin.

topgazza Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I use CoPilot 5 on a PDA. I never need to look at the screen but listen to the voice intructions. Avoids the need for any mounting bracket adverts. I use a lead to keep it charged from the power socket in the dash. Bluetooth reciever sits in the boot. People break into cars thinking the Sat nAv gear has been stored in the glove box even when it isn't but the damage is already done. Its becoming more common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I have already got a vent mount plate which came with the car, is one of those universal cradles "the Bury" so i might use that but still need something to connect to the tom tom to screw it to the vent mount.
