i'll give another big thumbs up to buygpsnow, they shipped my holux gpslim quickly, with a good price. and threw in the arkon vent mount and a external antenna for the holux.
OT
the vent mount works as well as expected for such a universal mount. It has to fit any vent with any phone.
A couple issues I have with it:
because it is universal the fit is not very tight, as in it moves around quite a bit with the phone in it. Side to side and bouncing a lot up and down over bumps. I plan on fixing the problem with some foam. It might fit your car perfectly but the fit on mine is not the greatest.
because of the loose fit it scuffed up my dash a bit from sliding back and forth. I now have a piece of electrical tape where it rubs on the dash.
The clips that go onto the vent slits have "streatched" out over time and don't clip on as well. Still secure but definitely not as tight.
It also has messed up my vent a bit, I had taken the clip off and the vent no longer closes properly where the clip was attached.
So I am not thrilled with it but it was free and does its job. I still use it for gps navigation.
I just wish my dash had not gotten scuffed and the vent had not gotten damaged, not a huge deal but the car is an 05 and sucks to have any damage.
