Very good design. Suction cup is very strong and easy to suction. Long enough for angled windshields (I have a Honda Fit which has a really angled windshield). Clips right in with no problems. Only issue is the wires from the module extend up to wherever the device is mounted (to be expected when you mount to your windshield) so I didn't take off any stars for that.

This mount is works exactly as it should. All the parts you would expect are included and it arrived FAST! I am very pleased with this purchase.

Overall I'm pleased with the product, but would probably go with something different if I had it to do over again.

Shipping: Pedestal shipped promptly and arrived safely.
Use: I used it for my XM radio in my Honda Civic, stuck right above the center consol.

Pros: It was simple and quick to install. The suction cup is strong and connects securely to the windshield. It also came with a small disc, with adhesive on one side, which adheres to the window. You can then suction to the other side of the disc.

Cons: Because of the length of the arm the XM radio thrashes around you drive.

I ordered this pedestal for my XM radio. I love it. Before the radio sat in a cubby hole in the dash. If we wanted to see who was singing or change the station we pulled it out of its little space. This could be hazardous while driving. But now it hangs up and we are able to view it from driver side or passenger side. I have hung it high and adjusted it so it is not obstructing the driver. I also ordered the remote for the radio, so we are set. Of note: it was a little difficult to twist into the position I wanted, but with a little time and patience it should work.

great holder for my xm radio, can get a little bouncy, but absolutely better than the vent clips provided by xm
