TTGo 520 mount/ cradle advice sought

[Badgerman26]

Nowthen,

My wife has the TT GO 520 in her mkiV golf (company car before I get grief) and she currently has the Nokia hands free attachment to the left of the stereo. She is sick of the bundled mount either falling off the windscreen or being difficult to remove!

What are our options, I like the idea of the Brodit active mount, but I wasn't sure where that could go. Also we wanted a universal enough mount that could fit my car too or if she gets another car its not a new mount.

Active is a bonus, but don't need TMC adapter.

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers

Best solutions will be from Brodit (DSL Developments are a good distributor in the UK) who do airvent or side of console mounts, or "Buybits" do a large range of alternative windscreen, airvent and disk mounts from Arkon, Herbert Richter and others.

DSL Developments

BuyBits

I'd be interested to hear of anyone's experiences with any of the vent mounts from BuyBits as well...

I have a brodit active mount from DSL and can recommend the company and also the quality of the mounts .

I believe air vent clips can damage the air vents ,.Darren is at the moment testing a new bean bag mount which looks very promising

I'm having no problems at all with the supplied mount with my 720 which, I believe is the same as the 520 mount.

But I use it dry as TT instructs in its user guide, whereas other suction mounts seem to work better if wetted/.

I'm a proud owner of a Go 520, and previously a tomtom One V2. I use a Vent mount as i find it more discrete and easier to control the tomtom. i bought my vent mount from here http://www.buybits.com/

Can you tell me which one you bought zebsogo?
BuyBits seem to sell several different types/makes of vent mount.

Hi Andy well i bought 2 versions and for me it was the budget version that works best as my car vents move ar not static, they move up and down and side to side i found that the arkon version stuck to for out and was a little to wobberly. But couldn't be more happy with the so called buget version below are 2 links for both vent mounts
