Pro.Fit International Universal Vehicle Mount for iPod Classic Review
I am always a bit skeptical when it comes to adhesive based mounts for my iPod. My main fears are that the adhesive won't hold under stress, or that it will wear out over time. I am also worried that it would damage my car. I am happy to say that this doesn't present any of those issues.
With the adhesive backing made by 3M I decided to take a chance. The installation is incredibly easy, though the base is larger than I anticipated. You clean the area as instructed with the provided wipes and dry it off, then immediately apply the base (which detachs from the rest of the mount making installation that much easier). The only problem I had here was finding a suitable place to attach it because of the large base (but then again, I'm extremely picky about things being in the way of the stereo). The base flexes, so when you install it the surface can be slightly curved and it will attacth perfectly. Once the adhesive is set (instructions say 72 hours) you can attach the arm to the base and use it. The arm is adjustable using a ball-and-socket type of joint and locks in place with a lever making it very flexible as to what position you put it in. The adhesive is very strong, I have put it through some rigorous motions already adjusting my iPod for use and it hasn't even showed signs of letting go.
The iPod mount portion of this is designed very well. There is plenty of room for your charger in the bottom, and the top is completely open. There are several access points on the sides which didnt affect me, but might be useful newer iPods. The arm holds the iPod by sliding the iPod into the cradle from the top, an it holds tight enough that I feel completely comfortable that it won't fall out but it's still easy enough to remove. The mount is specifically designed for larger iPods (no nanos or iPhones, sorry) so make sure your iPod is listed in teh compatiblity list.
Overall, excellent quality, excellent design, and a must have for those with iPod's hooked up to their cars.

I've gone through many mounts, as I replace my cars every 12 to 18 months. Each has a unique need since every car is different and placement can be a pain.
Of all the ones I've tried, this one is by far the best. Solid construction, it holds tightly in the position I place the player in, and was very easy to install. The tape that holds it to the car is very solid. I've had no indication that it will come loose in the few weeks I've been using it now, in a Wisconsin winter.
I drive a car that lets me fully control the Ipod with the steering wheel controls, so I have a special cable to use to plug the Ipod into my system. That plug is slightly larger in size than the standard charging plug, so it didn't fit when I opened the box. However, a sharp knife and a little whittling the opening larger, and it works perfectly.
Another nice thing is that if I don't want the player there, one little phillips head screw removed and the ball joint and holder all come off within seconds, leaving just the base behind, for times when i won't need music but want the space freed up for something.
