Contrary to the advertisement the holder does not work for the TomTom 920, unless you drive your car with your head directly under the review mirror staring down on the GPS. I would not buy this for any TomTom product as I doubt the suction cap is different on the others.

The Dash Mount is the most convenient mounting accessory for your portable GPS today. Using the physics of weight distribution along with high tech anti-skid materials, it creates a solid mounting base while turning your windshield mounted GPS into a dash mounted GPS. The Dash Mat conforms to the contours of your dashboard, allowing it to work on uneven or textured surfaces while the anti-skid underside keeps the device from sliding. Designed to work with devices up to several pounds using the stock windshield suction mount sold with most popular GPS units, the Dash Mount requires no tools for installation and can easily be moved from vehicle to vehicle or put out of sight when leaving the vehicle.

My son has this mount. We used it on a trip to Florida in July and it works great. It has a weighted rubber base that sits on any shape dash with no sticky residue left behind. You can just pick it up and hide the GPS when you are out of the car. I'm getting ready to buy one for myself. I have a XL350 model which is not listed in the models this fits but the 350 also works on this mount.

Arkon TT112 - GPS receiver mounting kit for car Review

Arkon TT112 - GPS receiver mounting kit for car

I was very pleased with the quality of this dashboard mount for my TomTom GPS. I have seen some cheap one's in the stores but this beats them by a mile. I especially like the "open" front that allows the GPS to be put at about any angle. It is heavy enough with a special "gripper" bottom, that it will not slide off the dashboard. The two adjustment knobs allow me to position the GPS unit side to side and up and down at just about any angle I want. I did not want to use the windshield suction mount and this allows the GPS to be placed just about anywhere on the dash for ease of sight. A real plus for those of us that wear glasses. I highly recommend this product.

ARKON TTEP112 TomTom EasyPort Friction Dash Mount Review

ARKON TTEP112 TomTom EasyPort Friction Dash Mount
Average Reviews:

This is a friction mount that stay puts. Like all friction based (bean bag) mounts if will slide forward if you have to really slam on the breaks, but for normal driving situations, it stays in one place. It seems well constructed and is very easy to adjust.
It comes with a large weighted platform that is very grippy. The platform is stiff and will not conform to contours of the dash, like some other, floppier, mounts I've used. If you have a dash that has rounded contours, this could be an issue., You really need a flat area, the width of the base on your dash for this to work well. They also provide a safety hook, that you can attach to your dash with an adhesive backing. This hook then attaches to a small loop on the back of the mount. This is intended to keep the GPS from falling on the floor if you accelerate rapidly. This is a nice safety feature but does have a downside. It makes it a little harder to put the unit on your dash, or remove it, when you park in a public place. Nothing major, but hooking/unhooking just adds another step to this process.
This will take up some real estate on your dash. At its widest part, the mount is about 8 inches wide. Much wider that other dashboard mounts I've used. This makes it more stable, but make sure you have the room on your dash.
The GPS attaches to an adjustable jointed arm. The arm, if extended would place bottom of the GPS over 4" above your dash. I'm not sure why you'd want the GPS up that high, but they must have felt someone would. Because it is adjustable, you can make it lower than this, but then it extends outward.
I only have a couple of complaints, hence the 3 stars. First, because the arm is so long, the unit can pick up road vibrations and bounce around slightly
My big complaint is the mechanism that attaches the GPS to the arm. It is based on the standard TomTom mounting ring, but it is not as secure as the mount that TomTom supplied. I've had the GPS rotate slightly (clockwise or counterclockwise) as I drive. It is easy to straighten, and it does not happen on every trip, but it can be annoying. What is worse is that I have had the GPS actually fall off the mount when I hit a large bump (like a speed bump). To be fair I have a 4x4 ,with a stiffer suspension,and it only happened once, but still, having the GPS come off the mount when you hit a bump is not ideal (note, this was on the road, I was not "off-roading"). It also has come off when I just moved the power cord, for example to move it out of the way of the radio controls. It only takes just a slight tug on the cord, which can happening when you are moving it, and suddendly you're reaching on the floor, trying to see where the GPS landed. The mount just doesn't snap in as securely as the OEM mount. Because of this I no longer use the supplied arm. Instead I now use the mount that came with my TomTom, and stick in the ARKOM base. This actually works very well.
I've owned several GPS mounts over the years, and none is perfect. This one is worth of consideration. If it were not for the fact that the GPS can be so easily dislodged from the mount, I probably give this a much higher rating.

TomTom GPS Dashboard Mount for TomTom GPS Navigators Review

TomTom GPS Dashboard Mount for TomTom GPS Navigators
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After many hours of shopping for a GPS for my car I settled on a TomTom model XL 330 S. Being brand new to these navigation systems I didn't think I needed anything more sophisticated. I think I made a great choice and I'm very happy with the brand and model I chose. What I'm not nearly as happy with is the TomTom GPS Dashboard Mount for TomTom GPS Navigators I bought at the same time. It looks like it's made well enough, as it's heavy and substantial, but when you try to attach the GPS's suction cup to it to try to anchor the GPS to it, there is just no way! I removed the protective film that protects the surface on the mounting plate from scratching during shipment and cleaned the surface with an alcohol swab they include. I cleaned the suction cup on the back of the XL 330 and tried it again, no better result. I still am using the Dashboard Mount but now the plate which is attached to my GPS sits "under" the Mount as it is heavy enough to keep it from moving too far. A brick would serve the same purpose, but would scratch your dashboard and wouldn't look as nice. Then again the Dashboard Mount looks kind of goofy too. The Mount is not a good/wise investment. rob
