Product Detail
Manufacturer: National Products, Inc Category: All Purpose Mounts Type:
Model: RAP-B-369AU SKU: RAPB369A UPC: 793442926303
Announced: October 28, 2009 First Shipped: March 24, 2010 Weight: 0.104 lbs.


Description
The RAP-B-369AU Plastic Mirror-Mate Vehicle Mount Base has a 1.0 inch diameter Rubber Ball connected at right angles to a mirror adapter plate for Ford, Chrysler and Toyota vehicles. The base connects to the plate that connects your rearview mirror to your window. From there you can mount your RAM mount system.

Important Note:


The RAM Mirror-Mate will not work with vehicles that have an OnStar system or rain sensor installed.

Manufacturer's Description:
The ideal mounting point for light weight electronics has been hiding in plain sight all this time. RAM now offers a mirror adaptor with ball that not only looks amazing, but performs beyond expectation. Simply remove your factory mirror, slide the RAM adaptor over the factory windscreen button, and tighten in place. This great little product replicates the factory button on the cab facing side so you can easily re-attach your factory mirror. The form and function of the RAM mirror adaptor is ideally suited for the mounting of GPS devices, rear view camera displays, radar detectors, cell phones, and so much more. Adaptors are available for attaching to the OEM buttons found on GM vehicles, Ford vehicles, Toyota vehicles, Chrysler vehicles, and the Dodge Sprinter. There is no such thing as a mounting problem, only RAM solutions.

 		 INSTALLATION ON A 2007 FORD F150

Purchased this unit to mount my Garmin Nuvi 265WT in my 2007 Ford F150 Supercrew Lariat. Here's a few comments on the install and use of the mount. (For the record, I have used several different versions of the RAM mounts in all my vehicles for several years - I'm familiar with the RAM line. This is the write-up I did for the Mirror Mate base/arm/ball package from GPS City)

First the "Bad"

No instructions on how to remove the Ford factory mirror from the windshield to install the new Mirror Mate mount. After an extensive search on the internet, I finally found an article with pictures and instructions. Removal requires insertion of a 1/8" blade screwdriver to depress a clip in the factory mirror while moving the assembly back and forth. Not very intuitive. Took me about 10 minutes to remove - being carful not to damage the windshield. Why can't RAM include mirror removal directions (and a picture or two) with the product? It is NOT very straightforward without info/pics/etc. It is a great product....give us some help...

Now for some "Good"..

Once I was able to remove the mirror from the factory location, the Mirror Mate fit very nicely onto the factory tab on the windshield. Tighten it down with the supplied set screw and it's rock solid.

My Ford factory mirror has the small box attached to the mirror that houses the compass box. The Mirror Mate mount does NOT contact the compass box, however, it does somewhat limit the ability to rotate the arm fully forward. My Garmin 265WT sits in a good location under the mirror.

It does NOT appear that the compass box is affected by the installation of the GPS unit directly under the box, nor does the GPS unit seem to be affected by the compass box. The compass reads "true" with the GPS on.

Installation of the factory Ford mirror is pretty straightforward - it slides onto the "new" tab on top of the Mirror Mate. Now another gripe - I'm not sure this one is directed towards RAM/Mirror Mate, but more towards the engineers at Ford who designed the factory mirror clip. Once I got everything installed, took it for a test drive. The image in the Ford mirror is shaking around like a 10 year old after drinking 3 Red Bulls....Unacceptable. There is no provision to "tighten" up the Ford factory mirror on the Mirror Mate mount (again, any support/instructions/guidance from RAM???) After spending another hour tinkering around (remove/reinstall mirror...), I was able to find two small strips of plastic that I placed between the the Ford factory mirror base and the Mirror Mate mount to get the "shakes" out of the mirror image while driving.

Operation of the GPS unit while attached to the mount/arm assembly is solid. It holds the GPS firmly - you can use the "touch" screen on the GPS without the unit moving around.

Overall, I'm happy with the product - it provides a solid mount for the GPS in a "permanent" location. RAM makes good stuff. However, it would be nice to have some instructions on diasssembly/reassembly/troubleshooting of the mount. I find it hard to believe that my issues with the shaky mirror image are isolated based on the design of the Ford mirror retaining clip.

Pros: good solid "permanent" mounting point
Cons: no removal/installation instructions
Recommend: YES

 		 GREAT MOUINT

Installed this on my 2005 Dodge Ram. Super easy to install. Took me longer to find my allen wrenches then it did to install this! For a dodge, here's the install instructions: Loosen allen screw on factory mirror, remove mirror, slide on RAM mount, tighten ram mount allen screw, slide on mirror, tighten mirror allen screw, enjoy!

Pros: easy to install, hidden mount.
Recommend: YES
