Summary: Perfect!
Comment: First I had bought the Auto Navigation Kit to keep my Garmin iQue 3600 on the dashboard. Any quick acceleration though and my Garmin would be on the floor, waste of money.
Then this Garmin Suction Cup Mount came out; works perfect. We just cruised 3 weeks through Italy, France and Spain in my Alfa Romeo (V6 and sport tires & suspension = good test). Did some 4,000 km of all kind of road and driving conditions, including cobblestones, curvy coastal roads and bumpy secondary and mountain roads. Not once did the suction cup mount come loose from the windshield. Also, having the car sit parked in the hot sun for hours did not do any harm to the windshield-mounted device.
The cup mount installs and is removed in seconds. Clear voice sound from the speaker with easy volume control.
Other than that, it keeps your iQue 3600 charged, which you need as the battery does not last too long.
A definite must have if you want to use your iQue 3600 for car navigation.

Summary: Computer guy
Comment: I purchased an IQue 3600 and I realized that I need a car adapter. So, I bought the Garmin suction cup car adapter. It works great. With a built in amplified speaker I can hear it loud and clear, and the convinience is that you can hang it any place on the glass in the cars.

Summary: There's a trick to getting it to stick.
Comment: I've used this mount for over a year now, and once I figured it out, I haven't a problem getting it to stick to my windshield. (Often it sticks too well.) When attaching the suction cup to the windshield, position the locking lever so that it is perpendicular to the windshield. Place the suction cup against the windshield, apply pressure with the lever still perpendicular, and while applying pressure, lock the lever. (It helps to make sure the windshield and suction cup are clean.) Using this method to apply the mount, I've have it stay on for weeks at a time and not come off until I needed to remove it. Once in a while the mount will come off in the heat, but cleaning both surfaces fixes that.

Also worth noting is the intermittent interference from my cell phone (I keep it about a foot away from the speaker and blame the cell phone for that). Otherwise this mount has worked perfectly and has been worth every penny.

Summary: Perfect Accessory
Comment: I use this for my iQue 3600. Space in my vehicle is at a premium because it is a sporty model and this fits into a small space and locks securly with its suction cup locking feature. Great little item well worth the price.

Summary: Very Impressed
Comment: I bought the iQue and this suction mount for my husband's birthday. I had a hard time deciding between the suction mount or the friction mount and am so happy I made the right choice.

I was a little concerned that the suction mount might obstruct the view out the front window but that has not been a problem at all. The mount has several joints and is very adjustable for any angle of windshield and can be placed in any position on the windshield.

I also never really trust suction cups to remain attatched and yet this one remains securely attatched on any window we have tried, including both of our own cars and in a rental. The suction cup is not just a straight lick it and smack on the window type. It has a lever thing that you fold down after pressing the suction cup to the window. The lever pulls the suction cup forming a tight seal.

The speaker is attached to jack part of charger that you plug into your cigarette lighter/outlet. Since ours is right above one of our cupholders, this slightly obscures the cup holder making it a little akward to use. It does fold some but not enough to completely clear the cupholder. Still this is a very small price to pay.

The speaker works great. It is hard to hear the iQue even at full volume over the traffic but when plugged into the charger/speaker it is plenty loud enough and we actually turn the speaker down.

Buying a car charger for the iQue makes it truely useful and choosing the suction mount turned out to be the perfect choice.
