How does the suction cup work on the dash? Most dashboards have textured surface preventing (I would think) the mount from adhering.

My dash is textured and it sticks with no problem. The suction cup is a gel-like material.

Outstanding. I can't pull it off. Pulling too hard would break unit off of suction cup and my Explorer has fairly rough and curved dash.

I have two of these units. One for my car and one for my truck. The suction cup did not work on the dash on either vehicle. However, I like it on the left side of the steering wheel on the window. Out of the way and "stuck for life!" lol ...

It's the best One I've used so far the if your dash is really textured a probably won't stick (BMW or Benz). My Acura and Miata dash had a smooth texture and it' works great. German cars seem to be a little rougher - and it doesn't stick. I've bought 3 of them. Sticks great on windshield.

I have a Honda Accord 2007, dash is textured. From the time I placed it on the dash, I have not removed it once. So far, its sticking. My concern is if I take if off, I won't be able to place it on again. Since I purchased it when the weather was starting to cool down, I'm not sure how heat will affect it. But so far, I'm still very happy with the product. I use it daily due to my job.

It has suction cups. So windshield mount is pretty much it. In my mind totally worth it though. I have had no problems with it.

Just read you inquiry again. The sticky pad doesn't stick to the surface of you dashboard, which is great. I use on the take back and forth between 3 cars. We only have on GPS and only use is occasionally. I really like it and have had it for over 3 years.

There is an adhesive disk that you can stick to dash and then use the suction cup mount on it or just use the suction cup on the window if that is legal where you live.

This product is designed to sit on top of the dash and its sticky surface tends to not let it slide. It is not permanently attached. Works ok for me.Joe

Not really, dashboards are usually not smooth, but bumpy. A glass like surface is required for suction cups.

I know that it sticks to the dash and doesn't slid on my car. I don't know how much your dash is sloped but it does grip pretty good. You could buy an additional suction cup window mount.

It has a suction cup mount. I have a fairly smooth dash so it mounts fine. I do not know how well it would mount to a dash that is textured, though. BTW, The angle is also perfect for window mounting as well (turned upside down).

Mine came with an adhesive disc that the suction cup attached to so you could mount it to the dash, as well as a lengthy cable that snaps in place on the bracket securely. It's nice.

There is a small black circle that you stick to your dash. At the end of the arm (mounting brace itself) there is a latch that you lock into place once the suction pad at the end of the arm (underside) is placed ontop of the black circle.

Will not stick to dash. Need to mount to windshield.I've used mine with a Sony HandyCam on an old railroadgrade, with holes big enough to eat a truck!! Stayedmounted the entire trip and more.Even the cold of winter did not bother it. Had it mounted, on a couple of trips to the Denver area.Just in case something did happen.Came undone a couple of times, but only due to operator error!I didn't get the suction cup firmly attached! Great piece to have.

The mount is not supposed to "stick" to the surface. It has a tacky finish to aid in skidding or slipping around. My experience is that if the surface loses tackiness is because the surface is dirty, as in dusty. A good washing off of the pad and a good wet wipe of the dash and all is good.

The 'red pad' is covering sticky tape.. You would tape that part to your dash or whatever as a place you would suction the rest of the mount to on a regular basis.

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

You can use the disc with red "chassis paste" included to stick to a textured dashboard and then attach the suction cup to the disc. The suction cup itself needs a flat surface.

The suction cup is pretty good. So if the dashboard is smooth enough, it'll be okay. Mine is not. So i used the easy to remove 2 sided tape.I don't know how long that will hold in the summer heat.

Yes. The mount comes w/ a plastic disc that has a peel and stick adhesive underneath. Stick that disc on the dashboard then suction cup the mount to the disc and you're in business. Hoping this helps...
