Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Belkin Tunedock achieves exactly what it sets out to do - provide a solid, flexible mounting solution for your XM Radio, iPod or iPod Mini (there are multiple versions of the 'dock). The color of the iPod mount is off-white - closer to grey really. The XM mount is black.
The unit comes with a series of mounting cups that provide the base that fits into your cupholder. A stem then screws into the base. The mounting platform is attached to the top of the stem. The screw-in nature of the stem allows you to provide some degree of height adjustment and the mounting platform itself pivots to whatever angle works best for your mounting position. The mounting platform provides the little notch that is on the mounts for the SkyFi, Roady or MyFi - so it can hold any XM Radio.
I was seeking a simple solution for mounting my XM Radio and iPod and did not want to take apart my dash or drill into something in order to achieve it. My cupholders are located in the dash, just above the radio in my 2001 VW Jetta. For me, the location is perfect and the 'docks hold their units firmly and stiffly enough that you can push a button or turn a wheel without having to steady the mount. The "cable management" clips on the backsides of the mounts are fair, but it would be better if you could clip them closed (they are open at one end).
If you are looking for an "elegant" solution, this is probably not the mount for you. The black matches my interior, but really, I have radios sticking out of the front of my dash in the cupholders - this is not about looks.
Another commentator of the iPod mount criticized this mount because it got in the way of his shifting. I suppose he could just as well write a bad review about his car for the same reason. Before you buy these, you should also really think about where your cupholders are located. If the location is marginal, or hard to reach, or requires you to run wires where you don't want to run wires then find something else. The unit does exactly what it sets out to do - allows you to mount your XM Radio from your cupholder.
