Default Brodit Passive Holder and Windshield Mount for the USA?

I'm looking for the Brodit passive holder for the JasJar and a compatible windshield mount with an adjustable goose-neck, I'm in the US. www.proclipusa.com doesn't appear to carry either, although I understand they are the US distributor.

Anyone, any ideas where I can get these?

I am looking for one in the USA as well. Proclip USA claims that they will have the Passive holder soon, but haven't gotten a definitive answer from them. None of the UK shops appear to be able to ship outside of the US, so I guess we are stuck waiting for Proclip USA to get them. Because the Jasjar is not really a USA device, I'm sure they are not in any hurry to get them in.

So how does this clip function.

Do you slide the Universal in, or do you kind of clip it in.

Is the power cord attached to the clip and you just slide it down in to the usb port, or is the wire just dangling all over the place when it's not connected.

I hate multi action holders and dont want something where i have to use both hands and a foot to get it in place.

I go in and out of my car many times a day, so it should be easy and without hassle.

I can live with the fact that i have to use a BT GPS, even though i love my BA holder having the GPS integrated, ooohh and what other choises are there out there.....none :?

Like you, bosjo, I've become accustomed to having my bluetooth GPS receiver powered via a wired link to my old M2000 active cradle. Having juice supplied to both M2000 and BT GPS meant I could never get lost.

I'm hoping in due course these Brodit M5000 cradles will also allow power to be supplied to BT GPS otherwise it's going to be a mess of wires in my car!
