I've already got a screen suction arm, and holder for the Wizard. These are connected together through the standard 4 prong connection method.

If I get just a Brodit active holder (http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=5839), will it connect straight onto the existing sucker via the 4 prongs, or will I need to get another screen sucker? This page (http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=5860) seems to imply yes, but looking at the Brodit on it's own, I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know which sucker you have, but the Brodit cradles come with a plastic swivel plate on the back with four holes, which are used to screw it to the mount. There are no prongs involved. Whether you could still screw the Brodit to your suction mount I couldn't say...

I've found the Brodit-specific car mounts to be excellent, and if you go to www.dsldevelopments.co.uk you'll get excellent help and advice.

The screen attachment you describe sounds like a Herbert Rickter product, the second link in your post is for an Artemis holder that is supplied with a HR screen mount. The normal Brodit powered holder you link in the first post will not connect to a HR mount, it needs a Brodit Pro clip specific to your vehicle.

I have tried coupling the Brodit holder to a HR mount and it simply doesn't work, there are addaptors for securing a HR holder to a Brodit Pro Clip but not the other way around AFAIK - Mike
