Via 1435TM mounting options

Just purchased a Via 1435tm for our second car (we have been trying to share a Go 730 until now). Does the 1435 have to be mounted to a windshield? Do they make mounts for this model for dashboard mounting? I don't want to have to completely take the mount down each time I get out of the car.

I have the Go 730 is mounted on the dash (via a bean bag mount to save my dash). The mount and wire stay there all the time, I simply slide the unit off the mount and hide it each time I get out of the car.

Not sure I want the Via 1435 if it has to be windshield mounted and the only way to take it down is to completely remove the mount each time.

I quite agree with you... I hate these new models with the "Easyport" mount.

Obviously they are designed to have the mount permanently attached, but it *is* possible to remove it and (at extra cost!) replace it with a different type.

(Do double check whether I've flagged the right ones for your exact model)

Do note Andy's link for Removal Instructions, though.........

I have mine mounted on the recessed dash of the instrument panal (2011 Santa Fe) ..Home Depot sells circular velco strips which i just mount to the suction cup..Makes for easy removal if u are in a ? area of town...
