Product Description

ARKON offers the most extensive selection of weighted "friction style" dash mounts. These are also sometimes called "Bean Bag Mounts" In states (California and Minnesota) where the use of windshield suction pedestals is prohibitied, the Friction Dash Mount is just one of the many alternative mounts offered by ARKON.

The design of ARKON's Weighted Friction Dash Mount focuses on safety. Sewn into the backside of the Weighted Dash Mount is a Safety Loop. ARKON's Friction dash mount also includes a plastic hook that can be adhered to your dash. Though not required, once adhered to the dash, users connect the loop to the hook at any time to insure the stability of the weighted friction dash mount.

Package Contents:


(1) Weighted “friction style” dash mount

(1) Travelmount mini windshield mount

(1) Universal mobile phone cradle / holder

(1) Optional adhesive safety hook (recommended but not required)

(1) Alcohol cleaning pad


Do not place mount in or near an air bag deployment zone or
where it will obstruct view of the road.

StarStarStarStarStar Perfect!
User: Cecilia Rodriguez, Aug 1, 2010

Pros:  You dont have to mount *anything* *anywhere*
Cons:  none that I can see

I love this style mount. I have a similar bean bag mount for my GPS..however, since getting the HTC Incredible I dont think Ill be using my Garmin since the Incredible has a truly great navigation tool that I like far better.

StarStarStarStarStar Power cord doesnt fit
User: Bob Williamson, Jul 29, 2010

Pros:  Easy to attach and works anywhere
Cons:  The side grips interfere with the power cord

This is fairly simple to set up. And its nice that its actually a suction cup mount to a weighted bed. This way you can mount to the windshiele if you feel like it.

The only disappointment was that I had to turn the mount upside donw for my HTC Droid Incredible if I attache the power cord to the phone. I am very likely to do this with the mount as I would ony use the mount for directions and would want to be sure I dont run out of power before I reach my destination.

StarStarStarStarStar Works but not without mod
User: Jason Swartz, Aug 27, 2010

Pros:  Very much like a normal GPS mount.
Cons:  Charger side of phone needs to be trimmed

This mount looks very much like the mount used for my nuvi gps, so it was my first choice. It works ok, but not without slieght modification. The phone cannot be plugged in if its in the mount. The arm will need trimming to accomidate. It also bounces the phone around.

StarStarStarStarStar Not great for the Pre
User: Tom Collins, Aug 16, 2010

Pros:  doesnt slip. clip solves the issue well.
Cons:  cant plug in as the sides are too close to the Pres plug input. Suction cup wears out after 2 months.

This isnt good for the Palm Pre. The arms on the side are in the wrong place to be able to charge your Palm Pre. You have to angle the phone in it to charge. Also the suction cup loses its functionality after a couple of months.

StarStarStarStarStar what am i missing here?
User: mike johnson, Aug 21, 2010
I ordered one for my Evo, but seems to me the negative comments are by incredible owners. Wtf are they buying something for a phone twice the size of theirs for?
