Question Brodit PDA in car holder ??

Has anyone come accross a Brodit Holder ??

Clicky


I'm looking for a well made holder for a Toshiba PDA that fits on the centre air vent... suggestions welcome as there are so many out there it's a nightmare preferably small and compact without the enlarged holding shoulders, I must admit I like the look of this Brodit but it would be good to find someone that's got one installed for their views on it.

Cheers
Simon

That sounds good to me

Is it on the high street or purely mail order kit do you know ?

I got a brodit mount for my wifes car (Citroen C3) and it is a great bit of kit. No drilling and holds the screen in place, no vibration or movement whatsoever. I was very impressed with it.

Brodit is it

Its not even worth looking elsewhere. Car specific holders generally in a variety of options.

http://www.nemesisgb.com/ for UK distributor. I think totalpda or pocketgps supply end users.

I've had centre vent for a scoob classic & currently centre vent for my volvo xc70. All our works vehicles use Brodit holders as well.

The dogs!

Started with a windscreen suction jobbie for my PDA and it used to bounce around all over the place. Makes the screen hard to read .

Now got Brodit centre vent clip for the Scoob and a iPAQ 2210 mount fixed to it. Absolutely solid.

I've ordered one now thanks gents
I like the idea of it being quite small and compact as well as the vent mounting position... the last thing I wanted was a mount with those huge shoulders on it with the PDA sat right back in it.

Leading on to another quick question... what's the best way to wire the PDA in ? I did not want to get a live mount so I'll be needing a cable to plug in it. I'm running a Road Angel in the car and I'm planning to keep going with that it's plugged into the ciggi lighter... is it ok to get one of those multi socket plugs and run both from the ciggi socket ? I'm not sure on how much the power drain would be and if both could draw from it at the same time safely or if I should be looking to hard wire one in ?

Thanks
Simon
