I tried a proclip and a brodit in my focus but it just looked crap. It was too much below eye level and stuck out a lot from the dash - very unsightly really so it's on it's way back. The only fitting I've seen that looks any good in a focus is the windscreen sucker to the right of the steering wheel. So I'm going to take my chances and keep leaving my glove box open and empty. Removing the holder from the windscreen is a PITA due to the power and ext mic being plugged in.

Dont know if this is any help but I have a Honda accord and I use the surface of the central "glove box" to mount the unit. It is below the dashboard line and handy for connection to the 12v outlet just below.
This picks up a signal without ant problems, in fact the unit will pick up a signal even when locked in the left glove box!

After removing all the evidence from your car i.e. wiping the suction mark from your windscreen etc, leave a road atlas book on the passenger seat or dash when leaving your car, it just might put a would be thief off from breaking into your car for your sat nav.

So let me get this right; after removing the suction thingy, cleaning the widnscreen, leaving the glove compartments open and a map on the seat, covering the inside of the motor in "smart water" leaving the motor under a streetlight and in view of 7 cameras and locking the motor everything should be ok??

wouldnt it be easier to leave the motor in the locked garage and getting a train ?? Laughing Out Loud

heres some pics as promised,

as you can see from the camera pic the TT1 bracket is hidden by the shadow of the mirror,

and it doesnt stick out like a window bracket.
