SoundGate M2 Universal Car Mount

Anyone have any experience or input on this unit...

Looks to be well build and currently there is a Coupon Code bringing the unit down from $24.99 to 4.99 with 5.00 shipping for a total of 9.99.

For 9.99, I think this may be a nice solution... Only draw back I see is the low-pro disk but I think I may have a work around for this... Take a look at the video in the below link as well... Unit pivots around for the perfect position...

Any feedback would be great...

Here's the info if anyone is interested...

Thanks. Just bought three. I have three cars, so needed one for each.

I bought two last week from the link on xda. They work great. Easy instal and not bulky at all. Folds up flat when not in use. I mounted my just right of my stearing wheel. I can reach the touch screen without taking my hands off of the wheel.

Mind posting some pics...? I'd love to see a real shot with the EVO in action...! Maybe a portrait and Landscape pose...

Thanks in advance!!!

ok i will try to get pics in the a.m. only problem is my phone is my camera. I put the disk on my hard case. You cant have a secure landscape mode. The disk has a notch that locks in place. so it goes in to the sllot in landscape mode and locks in when turned up right.

so if u install the disk in a position that it slides on in upright it would lock in in landscape mode..?

Based on the video, it looks like I should be able to slide it in place head down... A quarter turn would put me in Landscape and another quarter turn would put me in Portiat...

I would think that initial quarter turn would be enought to lock in... Maybe playing with the disc placement and finding the perfect spot to make it lock in...

Thanks for the input... Hope to see the pics soon!!!

Here's some user reviews from over at XDA... As well, some pics with the EVO and video showing disc size, etc...

Beware if you live in warmer climates... It was reported extreme heat (triple digits) can cause the adhesive to wear down...

I used this mount for my zune. The video is deceptive because the front part of the mount always falls down no matter how hard you tighten it. It's probably because of the weight, but I would assume an Evo weighs about the same.
