Default GPS mounting for WT Fiesta

Hi guys, anyone got any nifty ideas, methods or know of any decent universal air vent/dash mounts that actually work for a Navman ?
Bought the OEM extended windscreen suct.mount but the Fiesta driver is not happy with location & cable running down to console etc.. thanks !

The wife is happy with the Clicon system for her WS Fiesta. She's using a Garmin, but Clicon fits most GPS systems. I got her the Clicon simply because at the time she was taking a lot of long trips for her work

It is not cheap. But nor will it allow the GPS to fly off and smash into your face.

I use this for my phone, though all it gives you is a angled plastic piece to score stuff into. The 'hard' plastic is fairly soft and any self tapping screw will go in with basic hand tools.
You should be able to McGuyver up a mounting bracket from there fairly easily.

Thanks Caydus !

Have been looking at these after SPINNER77 put me onto their Oz supplier > HoldMyPhone/ClicOn in his earlier reply.
Perfect for the Fiesta & they also have another GPS mount suitable for my FG XR6 !

Cheers guys..

Not sure, the install is for a reversing camera screen rather than a GPS. I thought the a GPS unit might be around the same size.
