Works as expected, some minor nits March 14, 2007

First off, it does what you'd expect: it lets you mount your receiver on your windsheld. I use the 60CSx and it works perfectly.
The suction cup has a little switch which lets you flip between light suction and full suction, a big plus for when you're trying to position it vs. when you want to keep it in place.
Even with both knobs locked down, the receiver will vibrate quite a bit when driving, not enough to make it unusable, but enough to be slightly annoying.
You can rotate the receiver in the cradle radially (like the hands of a clock) but not side to side if you wanted it to face the driver or the passenger.
In order to mount the receiver, you need to screw the little thing onto the back that comes with the receiver's belt clip. That's what the ring at the top of the holder is for.
The clamp at the bottom which locks the receiver in place is very tight, but it probably should be. It does take a somewhat considerable amount of effort to remove the receiver by pulling down on the clamp and letting the receiver pop out.
One thing to note is that the cigarette lighter adapter's cable is designed in such a way that it goes down the back of the receiver, not off to the side or straight backwards towards the windsheld. Thus, the mounting bracket wing (one of the two arms that holds the receiver on either side) gets in the way of the cable. To get around this, you have to first mount the receiver in place, THEN attach the power cable. When you pull the receiver out, it will automatically push the power cable out in the process.
It's not perfect, but it does the job and certainly beats the alternative of laying the receiver down somewhere and not being able to see it easily.
 Great Product March 8, 2007
Don't settle for anything else there are cheaper products out there but for the money you can't beat this item it fits,it holds and it is very secure.

The reviews I read about this were mixed which made me unsure if I wanted to
buy it. I am glad I did buy it cause it fits my needs. I put it in my truck
and did not have any problems at all with it doing what it was designed for.
Take the plunge it is worth the money.

 Either faulty or does not work in the winter February 12, 2007

I ordered this to mount my 60CSx GPS unit to the winshield of my 2003 Taurus. I could not get it to stay for more than a few minutes with NO load - just the mount by itself. It seemed to be pretty firm at first, but within 5 minutes it would fall off.
I am sure the windshield and suction cup itself were clean, so that is not the issue.
The suction cup can be attached to the frame two ways depending on the windshield angle, but I tried both ways and neither worked, so that is not the issue.
I tried several locations on the windshield and none worked, so that is not the issue.
The temperature varied from 0 to 45 degrees F during the time period I was trying this. The temp did not seem to have an effect. If anything, it may have stayed longer at 0 degrees.
I understand there are several reviews claiming that it sticks to windshields well. I'm not doubting them, I'm just telling you my experience. Because of this, I'm suspecting my particular unit was faulty, although there were no visible nicks or scratches in the suction cup that I could see.
I have returned this to Amazon, we'll see if they give me any hassle. It is impossible to open the package without cutting it open. I plan on ordering the mount that permanently attaches to my dashboard. I travel a lot, so that may be a better option anyway.
**Update on refund** Amazon refunded it with no problems.
 Just OK -- too bulky January 23, 2007

Works OK, but it is really bulky and I have a hard time that it takes up so much real estate on my windshield.
