Ummm why would you want to attach it to your rear view mirror. Wouldn't that be completely dangerous?

In what way?
I'm using a HR banana suction arm combined with the passive Brodit holder, placed very near under the rear view mirror. That brings my Kaiser nearer to my eyes (see better) and closer under the roof (almost never in sunshine). So wanting to have it close to the rear view mirror seems to be quite "natural", it's a direction where we all (should) be very familiar to look in while driving, too...

Lets see exactly what you want !!
do you actualy want to fix it too the mirror? or next to it?
Unless your mirror has a Lock to it to stop it moving there is no way in hell it will take the weight of the phone and cradle. it will fall off and never stay in the correct position.
Also its not the safest place. you try to drive and look up at the mirror for more than 2 seconds.

Maybe you didn't understand. He want's to attach it to the rear view mirror. Taking up valuable space that is NEEDED. I would think that putting anything on it would greatly inhibit your viewing spectrum...thus making it dangerous. Under the rear view mirror is completely different. That would be the windshield, where a lot of people put GPS devices which is completely safe.

Didn't thought of it that way, well, of course, that's not a good thing...

Well, that really depends on his situation. In Australia, all vehicles have to be fitted with a rear view mirror. This includes vans and trucks that have the back window covered (eg: refridgerated trucks, furniture vans etc). Having the back window totally covered renders the rear view mirror absolutely useless..... yet it is a legal requirement to have one.

If the vehicle in question has no rear window or if it is covered up, I dont see how mounting the device on the mirror itself is dangerous. :cool:

I wouldnt do it though.... I'll stick with the windscreen mount!
