Rather than mount this unit to the windshield with the supplied adhesive pad, is it possible to stick it onto a suction pad mount?

I would think so. You would probably need to gorilla glue the suction cups to the mounting thing it comes with.

I never tried a suction cup. I felt comfortable with the adhesive mount especially when the interior temperature of the car gets very hot the adhesive tape holds the camera still.

In my opinion, that would work as long as you have a way to secure/join the suction pad to the base. The base is the black oval part of the dash cam unit.

It comes with a little plate that can adhere to your dashboard. Then you can put the suction cup on the little plate. Or you can suction cup it to your windshield. The suction cup also detaches from the main mount so that you can attach the vent clips.

Yes, it came with windshield suction cups and Velcro for dash mount. You may want to get the cord to wire it directly, this keeps that spiral cord out of your sight.

It's suction mount. You won't need any adhesives for the mat or the GPS stand. My entire unit is adhesive-free.

Definitely yes. I now wish I had purchased two of them, one for my other car. I never use the suction cup thing that attaches to the windshield since the pad works like a charm.

If a suction cup will hold, this will have no problem. Just use an alcohol pad to clean well before mounting.

This does not come with what you would need to mount it to a Garmin suction mount. http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResults/PartDetails/tabid/63/partid/082065077045072079076045071065053055085/Default.aspx

The suction pad is made of silicone. It should work well with the dashboard if you apply it properly. Clean the dashboard and then put the mount on the surface with power, pull down the lock button to exhaust extra air and stabilize the mount.

Yes. If your Dashboard is flat enough to hold the suction. You might get a lot of shaky video by mounting it on the dash though.

You can. But I would worry that the suction cup would be right in front of the radar.

It has to be mounted on the window - I tried the dash - but the suction didn't take due to the rough pattern of the dash.

It comes with a suction cup mount that is designed to be attached to the windshield. However, other mounts are available for purchase at Amazon.com: type in "Garmin GPS mounts."

I use the window suction cup mount as I knew the adhesive would not hold. I suggest going to a hardware store and buying a more adhesive tape and cut to size.

I would suggest trying a craft store. I don't use the ones that come with the unit - big pain in the butt. I just bought the new suction cup mount listed on Amazon but haven't received it yet!

There is a disc that adheres to the dash with 2-sided tape then you suction cup the mount to the disc.

My GPS (Tom Tom) came with a suction pad mount that attaches to the windshield of the car. On the dashboard mount there is a circular smooth pad that the suction pad adheres to. It holds very well.

Well, mine came with a sticky substance in conjunction with the suction cup, so I would say no. I haven't tried to remove it from my dash but I believe it would be difficult. Maybe there is a way to remove the sticky stuff? Not sure.
