view recommended products

Kinds of PDA Car Mounts include the following:

Windshield mounts

• Windshield mounts have suction cups that attach to the windshield.
• The cradle is attached to a flexible neck that can be swiveled to face different directions.
• They can easily be moved from one car to another, making them ideal for frequent travelers.

Lighter Socket mounts

• Lighter Socket mounts plug into the Lighter Socket on the dash, with the cradle held up on a hinged arm.
• Some models come with 12-volt lighter sockets to replace the fixed one used for mounting.
• They also allow easy transfer and require no tools to install.

Vent car mounts

• Vent car mounts attach between the vents on a car’s air conditioning or exhaust system.
• Some models use a ratchet mount that can be installed at various angles.
• They require complex installation and are designed for semi-permanent use.

Cup Holder mounts

• Cup Holder mounts are mounted onto fixed, standard-sized cup holders.
• The cradle is held from a vertical post extending from the mount’s base.
• They cannot be installed on oversized or adjustable cup holders.

Multi-angle mounts

• Multi-angle mounts have swiveling ratchet mounts that hold the cradle from the back.
• They usually mount on the car’s dash or console.
• They are difficult to install and are usually semi-permanent.

Gooseneck mounts

• Gooseneck mounts have long, flexible arms extending from the rail bolt.
• They can also be mounted on the floor or console.
• They involve complex installation and are designed for permanent use.

Stability: Choose a PDA car mount that attaches securely to the car and does not wobble or tilt. Look for one with a snap lock or front straps to keep your device from bumping against the rails. Goosenecks and long arms can be unstable, so avoid them if you drive fast or drive on bumpy roads.

Adjustable angles: Choose a PDA car mount with a swiveling base to make the PDA screen visible from your seat. Make sure the ratchet mount can lock at specific angles to keep it steady while on the road.
