User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Useful, but very poorly engineered
This product is cheap and works. Meaning, it can attach to your windshield and let you connect your TomTom Rider and use it in a car, for those days when you don’t feel like taking the Harley out.
However, it also has some serious design flaws. The major one is how it connects to power. Instead of using the Rider’s external weather-proof connectors, it forces you to stick the cable through the lower hole, open the little hatch, and connect. Very awkward, particularly if you don’t have a tall car with a tall windshield. The minor (yet annoying) flow is the way you are supposed to remove it from the glass: a short plastic strip that, in theory, will release the vacuum when pulled. In practice, it works rarely, forcing you to struggle with the mount until… when, until you break it.
Useful, but had they just copied the Rider’s motorcycle mount instead of inventing a new, poorer design, it would have been 5 stars.

I just purcased the Tomtom Rider car kit, and it was very easy to install.
Delivery of the Tomtom was promt and efficient.
5 Stars TomTom Rider Car Kit
Great product,very useful and sturdy,solid adherence to the windshield and fully adjustable. MASSIVE surface area on the suction cup, does not budge once it is attached.
2 Stars tom tom auto mount
it should have the same connection as the rider mount, it is hard to put in and take out of the mount you have to put in the mount then open door then plug in. it would be much nicer if it were like the rider mount that goes on my bike with the wire connects right to the mount so all you need to do is set it in the mount and not have to put in the mount then try to open the small trap door and connect the wire.
4 Stars Tom Tom Rider Auto Mount
It works well. The price is OK. It’s better than the motorcycle mounts.
The cigarette lighter power connector in the bottom is awkward though, almost very clumsy to work with.
