(More customer reviews)I got this item through Amazon while I was leaving on a Denver - Seattle drive (1300 miles) in about a week and 2 days. I ordered this with the so called expedited shipping option because I needed it quickly. It literally took more than a full week to receive this item! It arrived on the day I was leaving... I paid $29 to get it shipped, for an item that cost $57 dollars, and it took over a week to get it! In the meantime I also ordered a GPS antenna from another online vendor and I paid them $18 to fedex it overnight, and it showed up at my house the next morning. Bad, bad Amazon!!!
So when I realized that I might not get the Garmin Auto Kit before I had to leave on my trip, I just went to Radioshack and got one of those adjustable cell phone holders that you adjust to fit the width of your mobile device and then attach it to one of the air vents in the center console. I also got a universal power adapter they looked up for the iQue. The Radioshack setup worked perfectly and was half the cost.
Once I got the Garmin Auto Navigation Kit on the day of my departure I realized that in my vehicle (Nissan Pathfinder) the dashboard is raised on the driver side so the distance between the dash and the windshield was too narrow to fit the Garmin auto kit with the iQue inserted, it simply did not fit on the dashboard. In order to use the Garmin Auto Kit It would need to sit on the center console down by the shifter or on the passenger side of the dash which is completely out of sight and distracting, not to mention dangerous to look at while driving.
So in other words it cost me almost 90 bucks to learn that this item is not the right setup for my car... I should have ordered the Garmin suction cup kit instead. However I am now getting around with my $30 Radioshack workaround just great! So do your research before ordering this item.
