Versatile scanner mount found

[soupster]

I found this and have my 246 installed in a 2007 GMC seirra in the cup holder. It works great! Fully adjustable for many scanners.

I saw this this evening at best buy I just wish my cup holders where in a better location in my vehicle so I could use this. I did see this there as well http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...ount&lp=12&type=product&cp=1&id=1138084373352
and wondering if this would work well with scanners like the 396t (if you attach a cb mike mount onto this mount)?

(if you attach a cb mike mount onto this mount)?

That's EXACTLY what I did with my BR330T , I mean the cb clip part , attached that to a Pedestal Mount coming right up beside my console....not exactly the top notch looking way to do it but it works fine for me and it gives me room for other things.

do you have a picture of this? I have a the cb clip but my scanner does not sit right in it on the dash. I am looking for better ways to mount my scanner in my 92 honda accord

You can get that same mount here for $7:

I just got one and its pretty decent, but probably a little springy for mobile use with a scanner. Might be OK if it did not have the battery pack in.

Look here at the 2nd to the last pic, you can see that mount holding a Pro97.

The other mount I show in that thread is more up to the task of holding a scanner since they are kind of heavy. Its a whopping $9 though...

There has been a big rise in stolen GPS units of late. The suction cup is a give away, even though you remove the suction cup, it leaves a mark on the windshield. You may not want a suction cup mount because of this, as well as they do loose their grip over time, due to variation in temperature. If you take the mount off and leave your radio in the car, it will be a target of a thief. The cup holder mounts are also not good because they don't seat properly. And the grip type mount wears out a lot faster than you want to, and you'll keep replacing them. if you find the PanaVise ClipCaddy in a store, get that instead. Mount it on an angle bracket off your dash and you won't have a worry. The belt clip fits into it nicely. And it doesn't have grip failure.

Some EXCELLENT advice , I have mounted a few like that and the customer loved it. Have a better screen view too.

The only thing I didn't like about the panavise is if you vehicle hits a big bump or something, it would pop the radio right off...I went with the good old fashioned CB Mike clip mounted to the dash...holds super-snug....will take some pics tomorrow..

ok guess it took more than a few but here's some pics as promised.

Pedestal Mounted By The Console On Passenger Side

CB / Radio Mic Bracket is mounted to a "Clam Shell" which is mounted to the Pedestal , The BR330T belt clip bracket is in turn set in the cb mic bracket.

No not the best looking rig I know but it works for me. oh I also have an external speaker mounted to the dash.

Also have a 2067 in the dash

Nice install and pics!!
I recently bought the plastic tubing to cover the wires which makes it nice and cleaner install.
Do you remember where you got the pedestal mount?
