A Damage-free Mounting Solution For Your Car
In a another article, I talked about cradles, ipod kits and Icelink Plus. Now how do you mount them? The best way is to use a damage-free mounting solution. Here, I'll talk about dashmount brackets.
Dashmount brackets are metal brackets that are designed to help you mount things in your car without damaging the surface. They are vehicle-specific. This means that every car make has dashmount brackets designed specifically for it.{You can see a full list here or here}.
Usually they go into a vent or the side of the radio or the side of the console near the bottom of the radio -- obviously depending on the model. It depends on where it connects to the actual dashboard.
Usually how it works is that you put it in the space specified in the instructions. Using a screw (usually supplied with the dashmount), you can then be sure that everything fits in place securely. .
The dashmount comes with a mounting frame that is actually designed with holes in it. Now these are designed so you can easily add a passive cradle, icelink plus or icelink FM.
These are pretty straightforward. They are just metal brackets that save you a lot of time. Add to that, they remove the necessity of drilling holes on your dashboard. That would leave a big mess with holes everywhere apart from the fact that such holes could invalidate your warranty.
Furthermore, If you ever decide to sell your car, you can remove it and no one will ever know you ever had something like that on your dashboard. This will save you money on the long run.
They are robust. However, they are designed to be stylish. So, apart from their functionality, they also look nice. They are designed to look as if they came with your car originally. That's why they are vehicle-specific. So don't worry about having a dull-looking lump of metal on your dashboard or wherever else you prefer to have your ipod while driving.
