The driver can now easily read the LCD on the XM SkyFi receiver. This fits great in the teeny cup holders in our '95 Camry. The cupholder was not a big loss because anything you can wedge in them that's bigger than a 12-ounce soda can gets knocked by the gear shift.And I'm happy because I'm no longer hitting the SkyFi velcroed on the glove box to the floor everytime I get into the car with my purse.
Decent price, have seen them cheaper in the past but still worth it to have less clutter hanging off of your dash. Holds securely, tightens into the cupholder and is the correct height for my vehicle. Great way to mount your XM radio, iPod or other product if you have the spare cupholder. I have used one of these for a GPS years before and bought this one for use with an XM receiver. Shaft allows me to wrap extra cables around it and make for a cleaner look in the car as well.
I use this holder with my GPS which keeps it out of sight and thus reduces the temptation for anyone to break into my car. With a little modification it works peerfectly.
Then again, it was pretty cheap, so I can't complain too much. But the cup holder is made entirely of plastic and just snaps together, so it feels a bit flimsy to me. Please note that the center 'stalk' of this mount is about 6 inches tall - so depending on how the cup holder is shaped in your car and the thickness of your radio, the top face of your satellite radio might end up 7-8 inches above the face of your cup holder. This cup holder satellite radio mount works as advertised. With an adjusting screw to expand/contract the base of the unit it even fits well in a the strangely-shaped cup holder of the center console of my 1999 Ford Taurus. Much easier than installing a permanent satellite radio mount in my dashboard for my Sirius radio.
Very sturdy and easy to install and use.I'm glad I found this. We wanted something we can move from truck to car and back and this fits the bill perfectly.
