Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's not so bad that I'll send it back, but I wouldn't buy another one. There were three items in this package, so I'll discuss them separately:
First, the charger. It won't work in all vehicles. I discovered that there is a slight difference in the shape of a true cigarette lighter socket and the 12 volt round sockets most cars come with now. This charger works in the cigarette lighter of my GM pickup truck but not the 12 volt socket on the same vehicle. It won't work in either of the 12 volt power outlets in my Subaru. In constrast, the orginal charger for my GPS, the charger for my cell phone, and the charger for my mp3 player all work in the Subaru. The cord is shorter than the original cord which came with my device. Also, the cord plugs straight in instead of coming out at a right angle, as the original device cord did. The straight plug means I'd have to mount the suction cup an inch or so higher on the windshield. That, combined with the shorter cord, means that the cord was stretched across the controls to my in-dash CD player. Very annoying.
Next, the windshield mount. It's ok, but I don't love it. The clip attaching the gooseneck to the GPS kind of works with my Tomtom Go 630, but it's a Mickey Mouse arrangement of one not quite right adapter slid into another not quite right adapter. The swivel joint attaching the adapter to the gooseneck tightens and loosens with a screw. The plus side of this is that the joint isn't going to move once you tighten it down. The minus is that you can't adjust it one handed. The joint also doesn't have quite the amount of flexibility I'd like. The suction cup holding the gooseneck to the window awesome. It attaches with a flip lever- easy to attach and very secure. The gooseneck wasn't all that great. It's very stiff, which makes it hard to position. The joint attaching the gooseneck to the suction cup is easily strained, and the device will vibrate forever after once you've loosened it up.
Finally, the Micro SD reader. I haven't had cause to use it yet, so I've no idea if it actually works. The whole thing is barely larger than someone's thumbnail; It looks like someone chopped the end off a standard USB cable and turned it into a keychain.
