Anyone using the ProClip Center Mount?

I am using it. It's a fine product with a few issues.
It won't scratch or scuff if you follow the installation instructions. No separation of the dashboard seem.

I had to replace sticky tape they include with the mount after about a year with a heavy duty 3m mounting tape in order for the mount to stay put.
Also DO NOT loos any parts (ie washer that goes into the tilt swivel mount). Also do not over-tighten the tilt-swivel screw.

Other then that all is fine. Works beautifully.

 

I love mine.
I have a ProClip on the drivers side of the MFD which has a plate allowing my TomTom GPS and my phone hands free cradle to mount to it. I have everything at my fingertips and easily seen.
The mount is a piece of cake to fit, but it does use double sided tape, not just clips. You need a bit of muscle to stretch it over the silver vent surround. I suspect with just a GPS or phone mounted to it the double sided tape wouldn't be needed, you can leave the backing paper on it.

Where I live the summer (now) temperatures go well over 100f without a problem.
I ran my power wires etc for the GPS and phone cradles along side the top of the mount into the dash and it looks great.

You can buy it with confidence, it is all ProClip make and they do it well.
I might note mine has Click-On branding on it but it came from Pro-Clip.

I think I got mine before they were available through PriusChat, I can't remember, I have quite a few accessories on my 04 Prius.

This was before I mounted the phone cradle. Please reverse the image for left hand drive.

I am using 2, 1 for an iphone and another for a escort radar detector. I didn't expose the tape when installed. The first time it took a while to install. The second took less than a minute. They seem secure, with a good build and look good. I would recommend one.

 

Another option is the Garmin beanbag mount. It is terrific. Allows you to place your gps on any resonably horizontal surface. It is rock steady and will not move. About $25 from Amazon. you won't regret it.

 

I have the Proclip attached to the vent on the left of the MFD. I love it - but have one issue that bugged me for a long time until I figured it out. I usually mount the suction disc to the disc on the Proclip when I want to use it, leaving the small ball inside the socket on the back of the Garmin all the time. Every so often, usually on lengthy trips, the unit would lose suction and fall off while driving. So she would be talking to me from the floor until I could stop and put it back . Well, one day light dawned on marble head and I realized that it was cold when I hooked it up, and the heat from the vent would blow on it for a while, expanding the air in the vacuum until it lost suction and fell off. SO, now I turn off that vent when I am using the Garmin and so far it had not happened again. But I love the placement since it allows full range of vision because it is just about level with the dash, and is within reach in case I want to check whether my next turn is a right or left before it is visible on the map or close enough to be announced. I won't mention how many four-letter words I used while installing it though. The first time I had to walk away from it before I did something I might regret. The second time it took every bit of strength I had to get it into the correct space. In the end it is worth every bit of effort it took though. You will like it.

 

Looks good Pete.

 

Looks just like mine.

Side note: how did you mount your scangauge? That's exactly where I'd like to put one.

 

Doesn't the GPS block your access to the Climate and Audio buttons?

 

Mine doesn't.

 

Are those buttons on the right or left side of the MFD in yours?

 

I have the proclip mount next to my MFD for my satelite radio (Serius Sportster)

While it does hide the radio and climate control buttons next to the MFD, you know where they are and you can reach around with no trouble.

 

I like it!!
I was just looking for something like this for my 2008 Prius I just bought!!
Thank you so much for the pictures Green Hokie. Now I know what I'm gonna get!!
