Arkon Universal Windshield with Dashboard and Vent Mount for Smartphones and PDAs
Product Description
SM310 is a complete universal mount bundle that includes a high quality windshield suction pedestal, adhesive dashboard / console disc mount, and a removable air vent mount. The universal side grip holder is compatible with most brands of mobile phones and is perfect for use regardless of whether you are using a protective skin or case on your phone.
I have this in a 2003 Yukon XL attached to the A/C vent. It works great, however, I now can’t turn that A/C vent toward me and my cell phone blocks most of the air from blowing on me. I’m the kind of person that uses the A/C all the time, so it’s bothersome to me.
I also have a 2000 Toyota Sienna, and it won’t work on the A/C vents. But it does work fine on the windshield. The one problem with the windshield is that in California I believe it’s technically illegal to put anything on the windshield. However, the windshield in the Toyota is so big and long that it doesn’t interfere with your view of the road.
But I do love the fact that I can now easily see my cell phone while I’m driving.

With the large screen of the Evo, I finally ditched my Garmin, and I’m using my phone as a GPS. This mount is perfect for the phone. You can adjust the bottom supports so they don’t get in the way of the charge port. Also, the side arms hold the phone securely without getting in the way of the volume rocker.
The build quality of this mount is very impressive for the price! The plastic feels solid, not flimsy, and the suction cup is stronger and larger than the one that came with my Garmin. I was concerned about this, as I didn’t want to risk my new phone in something that wouldn’t hold it right. But after trying it out, I’m very pleased with how snugly the mount grips the phone. It’s not going anywhere.
I like this mount so much that I came back to order one for my other car (only to find that they’re now back-ordered).
One thing — the vent mount doesn’t hold very tight on my car, so that I don’t feel comfortable using it. Maybe it’s my particular type of vent (it’s an old, old car), or maybe I’m not installing it right. However, the windshield mount is excellent.
I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

I use this product to hold my HTC Incredible to my vent mount while I use it as a GPS and Music Player (via FM Transmitter). Arms holds the Phone snugly so it will not move or fall out, the location of the charging cable and headphone jack are not interfered with by the mount. The vent mount swivels nicely to allow for a good viewing angle while attached to either the driver’s side or passenger’s side central vents of my cars.
I have not tried the windshield mount.
I guess my GPS vent mount is from the same company because the mounts are compatible and I now I don’t have to detach the vent piece when swapping between using my car and my wife’s car.
