love them as very clean install, looked at them, then walked away after looking at the price.. a clip system - mount + the clip for your phone or GPS is like +$70-80 out the door

 

I ended up going with an affordable mount from http://www.extremepda.com/

I just bought the Tom Tom car kit for iPhone for my Fusion - it gives you a dock, charging, an audio output jack and an external GPS antenna. It works with any GPS software.

 

I also bought a Pro-fit mount to go with it. It attaches to the screws holding the radio. I had one previously on my Aviator and it worked great.

I'll use the suction cup on the pro-fit mount normally and if I want to use the GPS navigation I'll move it to the windshield temporarily if necessary to get a better GPS signal.

after buying the cigarette lighter mount from extreme PDA - which comes with a ProClip Droid mount using the dual T-Notch system - I did a little snooping around and I found an eBay seller selling the Panavise plate - EXACTLY like more costly the ProFit plate that fits into the dash all nice and clean - for ver cheap. I just got the Panavise plate (#751371307 fits the 07-10 Edge) for about $19 shipped (versus $32 retail + ship) and already have the ProClip MI-500bg T-Notch mount for my Droid so just bought a vent mount system off eBay of $7 shipped that has the matching swivel neck using dual T-Notch. $26 OTD for a stealth plate system.

 

SO.. that means, out the door, I will have 2 complete mounts (2 different vehicles) for about the same or a little less than 1 complete retail ProClip - one stealth plate dash mount (the Panavise plate) with a swivel & T-Notch quick release system AND I will be able to take that same ProClip droid mount piece off that and attach it to the Extreme PDA cigarette lighter mount and leave that in my truck as both will use the dual t-notch quick release.

 

The Panavise mount for the Edge

 

The Pro.Fit Droid mount that has dual T-notch back: Pro.Fit MI-500bg

 

the T-Notch capable Swivel mount I will butcher to mount to the above Panavise mount

 

will post photos of the final install when I get it all dialed in and installed. installation looks like a total piece of cake (pdf file)

Here you go... finished product

 

As I said above, I bought the cheap eBay vent mount and butchered the T-Notch mount off of it as that was cheaper than buying a stand alone T-Notch mount for the Droid Phone mount. So, I dremmeled that off - tossed the rest in the garbage - and then drilled new holes in it, added some small washer spacers and mounted it to the Pro.Fit swivel mount. I then mounted all of that to the Panavise dash mount. Here is what you get.

 

The Panavise took 5 minutes to install. Biggest issues are (1) where along the dash you want it mounted (vertically) and (2) drill and screwing in the screws to hold the Panavise mount as the Navi unit gets in the way to make the perfect angle with a drill and screwdriver.
