This Kit Will Eliminate Your GPS Suction Cup Mount and Improve Your Driving Experience
| |
|
This FlexPod kit comes with everything you need to safely mount a variety of GPS devices in any model of MINI (including the 2011 Refresh and Countryman models).
We include a vehicle specific FlexPod mounting bracket that attaches to the back of the tachometer, making use of the existing threaded holes on the tach. An included, device specific,
module bolts right to the bracket.
The module and bracket can be arranged in a variety of positions, and the device location can be adjusted easily. You might like the GPS just outside the wheel while programming it, but you can still slide it in tight against the tach to view inside the wheel while you drive. |

FlexPod Facts
The entire FlexPod GPS module is made from sturdy, lightweight 6061 aluminum. It features an indestructible anodized ball that easily snaps into the cradle that comes
with your GPS device, which means it can also be removed in a snap. This allows you to retain the functions you like about the suction cup mount, only with improved looks, usability,
and reduced chance of theft.
If you are still using suction cups to hold the navigational devices in your vehicle you are dealing with unnecessary risks. Your devices could be held more securely eliminating damage to the device from falling as well as the distraction of a GPS falling on you while driving. You could also have a better view of both the road and the device than you do when you succumb to the limitations of windshield mounts, minimizing hazardous situations behind the wheel. Vehicle GPS theft can also be mitigated; even when you remove the suction cup and hide everything when the car is parked you are still leaving the telltale circle marks on the window telling everyone that you have a GPS hidden in the car. Putting the GPS back onto the FlexPod is much quicker, more consistent and easier than re-affixing the suction mount all the time | |

New, Included Wiring Option Allows You to Eliminate Power Cord Clutter
| |
|
Each kit now comes with an adapter that gives you a new wiring option when you install your GPS. With the new plug and wire taps you can quickly wire your GPS
permanently to your MINI so that there is less visible wire and your lighter socket plug is free to be used for anything else. The complete install including wiring is a sinch compared
to in-dash nav systems, plus it costs less and allows your GPS to remain portable.

What's the difference between this and The FlexPod Fixie Garmin GPS Mount? The main difference between The MINI GPS Mounting Kit and the The FlexPod Fixie Garmin GPS Mount is that The MINI GPS Mounting Kit allows you to adjust the position of your GPS, and The FlexPod Fixie
Garmin GPS Mount does not. The FlexPod Fixie Garmin GPS Mount is only available for Garmins, while The MINI GPS Mounting Kit is available for both Garmins and TomToms. Also, The FlexPod
Fixie Garmin GPS Mount is only available for second generation MINIs, while the MINI GPS Mounting Kit is available for either first or second generation MINIs.

I think this is very expensive for 2 peices of machined aluminium and a couple of screws, however it is exactly what I needed and does it well. I would buy again. I had the kudu mount before this one, but didn't like how the kudu mount was making indentions on my dash.

Solidly built and easy to install in minutes but the extension arm is shorter than expected so the GPS lower left area is hidden behind the steering wheel

This mount was really not that tough to put on. I expected to spend at least an hour installing it the first time but it barely took me 20 minutes. I like the location, easy to reach.

this kit really makes for a clean looking dash. No more wires hanging all over and the GPS is located in the ideal position. Took maybe 15 minutes to look over the instructions and mount the unit.
alos would like to say this product was shipped extremely fast- ordered on a Friday and got it the following Monday. Great job!!!

This product really gives a GPS a professional and OEM look. The price seems a little high, but the product is outstanding. Installation of the arm was a breeze. I also installed the hidden 12V outlet which completely hides the power cord.

Definitely the most elegant solution for Mini GPS mount. Love the way that the bracket attaches to the back of the tach using existing screws -- no drilling, looks stock, and super easy to install. Even better is the extra +12V pigtail socket that's included -- still very easy to install plus socket and that huge end of the all GPS power cords are concealed under your center console; snake the cable under the other panels to pop out behind the tach and the whole installation looks completely custom or OEM.
Also I wanted to add that the pictures don't do the installation complete justice. I realize that they were taken that way for a reason, but I was somewhat afraid the GPS would be hovering out in open space and obstructing the view somewhat. Maybe it would if you were an 8-year-old driving, but even though I have mine installed with the GPS in the 1 o'clock position relative to the steering wheel as shown in some of the pictures, it obstructs none of the windshield view outside; I only see more dash behind my GPS.
I did a lot of searching and looking at different offerings for a Mini GPS mount (ProClip has theirs mount above the left side of the glove compartment. Really? That's not dangerous at all...) and this is clearly the best solution in design and execution.

This mounting kit is by far the best and most expensive way to attach your aftermarket GPS to your dash. I tried the sand bag and rubber mats for the dash, and in California the windshield suction cups are illegal (and leave circles on the glass that are annoying). The kit has everything you'll need for installation. It takes about an hour to and hour and a half for complete install, and requires simple tools. You'll need to have moderate patience, skill, and personal flexibility when installing the power cable under the dash, but is worth the effort and money.

Received the MINI GPS mounting kit CRMC-1000-R51 I ordered in two days and installed it in about an hour with no problems at all. Looks like it’s factory installed, works great and best of all it made my wife very happy.
Thanks So Much!

Look no further, this is the ultimate way to mount your (Garmin) GPS in your MINI. Solid, easy to install, (no drilling) and an excellent viewing position.
I have tried suction cups & vent clips but I was not impressed with either - I will not use a beanbag!
I guess some may argue that this unit is a bit pricey, but that is the only negative. Combine this with an 'aux input' option for your radio and you will have an almost factory solution.
Highly recommended!
