The noise isn't such a big problem as the egg-frying ability of the 2500.

It has been dumped in my ever increasing 'box of useless buys'

Still no reply from Seidio - so what, they've got their money!

Graham - di you buy directly from Seidio? if not you I thought you would be entitled to cover from the retailer Question

I spoke to a retailer about this mount and specifically your problem (because I want to get one) and he said that he had only had "a handful of mounts with the speaker problem - all of which had been returned and replaced" - may be you got one off the production line on Friday afternoon Exclamation if such a thing happens in this high tech world these days


I think they all suffer from this, mine does this as well. It seems to go after a while and you don't really hear it unless you are listening out for it.

I don't have the noise problem but I do have the overheating problem. This is my second 2500 as the first was returned because it disconnected the PDA when charging the bluetooth GPS. I think the running hot issue relates to all of the 2500's not just the early ones - I have only had mine 4 weeks both first and the replacement and they both overheat and cause the PDA to stop charging the battery.

I need an amplified mount as I have a deisel car (noisy) and my pda is a 4150 so the choice is very limited!!

Hi,
just received my seidio mount and 2210 which were both recommend by "spotlights guides", the background noise doesn't bother me at the moment but should I be worried about the heat problem, i must admit when I removed it from the mount today it was very hot.
Cheers mark.

This is a copy of what Seidio e-mailed me today (afetr I chased them up)

"Dear Customer,

To place the order go to www.seidio-europe.com.

We have the mentioned item in stock so we would ship in1 or 2 business days.

The background noise has been fixed. Regarding the hardwire cable, normally it is not complicated to install.

Best regadrs,

SEIDIO-EUROPE"

From this info if I had a mount that was noisey I would send it back - as they clearly state this has been fixed Idea

I will look into returning mine, but if mine is faulty the whole batch will be.

I contact Seidio about my unit and he answer:
We will replace the Seidio G2500 for a new one. The only thing is that we are out of stock of this mount now but we are going to receive it next week.
I receive answer in 2 days and I am very satisfied with Seidio.

I don't have any heat problems, iPAQ5550 and Seidio 2500. I can hear a slight background whirr, but I can only hear this when everything else in the car is turned off and the car is in a very quiet place such as the garage.
