That is tought luck - but did you leave the mounting kit attached to the windshield?? If you did then it is an invitation to thieves since they assume that the device might just be in the glove compartment!!

However, go here - it's what you want and not too expensive!!

yes the mount was on my wind sheild, but i knew something will happen just not so soon, had it in for 2 days the mount...i've been looking for a air vent mount, can't find one to fit, thats why, also, i thought it would be safe as i parked outside my own home.....thanks

To be honest its hard to say as it will depened on the tolerance of the MIO.
I would think its unlikely to cause a problem. Can you find the specification anywhere of the Input voltage to the Mio?

Is it a USB connector? does the mio also connect to USB on a PC to charge?
