Here's one I just made. Less than $3 from Home Depot odds and ends. Slides into gaps at just the right places. Doesn't budge while driving or being poked at. A little double sticky tape holds pieces in place. Works great in my 2005 Baja. No fit guarantees for other vehicles. JVC has a remote so I don't need to access controls.

See...This would make me paranoid... Knowing my luck, I'd be smoking a cig, and go to use my signal, accidentally hit the N7, and right out the window it goes.

Default Car On-dash doesn't stick

I just bought the Xenomix 2X SHG-NX2000 Car On-Dash, but is doesn't really sticks to my dash. After removing the transparant filter, it does a bit, but no luck, after one bump in the road it let's go. Any suggestions?

go with CD mount version...it is holding up better than any suction/sticky versions have for me by a huge margin

Here is a picture to keep you subscribed to this thread, I need more time to write the review.

^ Is your dash relatively flat for the mount to stick on? Mine is stuck on the dash for a good 8 months now, no bulge!

Lexi250, first of all thanks for the post and info. I saw your post on clublexus also and I had to track this one down. You've said that yours is still staying, I have the same model car but I'm in Florida. It can get pretty hot here as you can imagine and I have a very nice sunshade that helps....but do you think the Florida sun would cause this to fall? I'm not so much worried about the tablet tumbling a foot, but cracking my shifter area I'm sure would be pricey.
Thanks again for your post! Oh, anyone find a reseller in the states? I hate waiting weeks for things to ship :P

Hmmm, I don't know that I can trust that suction cup to stay on my dash. Are they really good enough to hold on?

I have a semi flat dash on my VW Bora (Jetta to you U.S. guys), but I can't see it taking the weight of the Nexus when going over speed bumps and the generally sh!tty conditioned roads we have in Buckinghamshire.

There is however a nice little storage hole above the stereo I could probably wedge it in but I won't be able to get to the CD player, or use the cup holders.

Maybe I'll take a punt and see how it works out.
