Simple and effective
(5 out of 5) by Eric M. Wilson on Feb 13, 2008 (Portland, OR USA)I was worried how this would work in the car. But it works perfectly. And you don't even have to stick anything permanent on the dash, or wherever.
The main holder uses a strong suction cup for attaching directly to the window glass if you want. This is what I do, so it's easy to move between cars without having to buy 2 of them.
The Colorado slips right on (I don't even push it hard enough to 'click') and is a snap to just grab-n-go. I usually don't even bother with the power-adapter since I use rechargeable batteries in the Colorado.

Take Your Cool New Colorado in Your Vehicle
(5 out of 5) by hdtravel on Apr 1, 2008 (USA)This kit works really well.
You can mount your Colorado using the suction cup mount on your vehicle windshield or using the adhesive disk. ( the disk is good for states that do not allow windshield mounts )
The mount is sturdy and my Colorado fits in it easily and holds in well.
It is great to be able to conveniently and safely use my unit in the car while driving.
The Colorado is a great companion in the car and the screen looks gorgeous and bright. When running the Colorado on the lighter adapter the backlight on the screen runs in a much brighter mode than batteries permit and the screen is very bright and the map shading and detail are beautiful.

Must Have Garmin Colorado Accessory
(5 out of 5) by Horatio Hornblower on May 30, 2008 (North Carolina)Just received the Garmin Colorado Auto Nav Kit today and it is better than I hoped for.
Very simple mount to windshield or the dashboard if required or preferred.
It is extremely secure, unlike some adjustable,multi-purpose mounts.
When using rechargeable batteries and plugged into power adapter, the screen is very bright and legible. I would say brighter than most Auto GPS devices I have seen.
Very,Very Pleased.

Caution, Not for the Oregon
(3 out of 5) by S. Downs on Oct 19, 2008 (Austin, TX USA)I just got a Garmin Oregon GPS and looked for a auto kit for it. Somehow I came up with this one as the one to get. Well, the adapter-end that goes into the unit is facing the wrong direction. It is bent at a 90 degree angle and must be plugged in from under the front of the unit. The problem is that with the 90 degree angle, and the case, there is only about 1/8 inch that is available to actually go into the USB connection. The result? The power cord does not hold a connection and the unit goes into and out of power mode... I ended up filing down part of the connector (where it meets the case) and used a velcro strap to hold the connector in place. Not what I thought I was getting into...

Careful - doesn't fit a Garmin Oregon
(4 out of 5) by Ron on Jan 19, 2009 (Forest, VA)I got this for my Garmin Oregon 400t GPS due to recommendations on the purchase sit for the Oregon. Said it fit both the Colorado and Oregon series. The mounting clip DOES fit the Oregon, but the charging cable connection to the Oregon is obstructed by the the bend direction of the the connection (bends 180 degrees in the wrong direction to fit properly!). My understanding is that there is a cable that is specifically made for the Oregon (and I would guess that THAT cable would not fit the Colorado!). The mounting system itself works as advertised however, and I will be using that for road trips. I ordered a new Oregon specific cable to replace that part of the vehicle mounting system.
