mikesae Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Cool. Do you have a part number for the longer mounting arm? My 930 only came with the shorty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
change_agent Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I mounted a Garmin 265WT using the mentioned Arkon GN115 mount. My parents are giving me the same Garmin for Christmas...and will order mine after Christmas...so I am checking the orginal Garmin mount that comes with the Garmin 265WT won't work and you would recommend the getting the Arkon at the same time?

desertfoxaz Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Has anybody else had problems getting this to fit in their cubby? The two holes that the rear pins fit into on my car are spaced about 1mm each further apart than the tabs on the cubby mount are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Nope, mine fit like a glove right in. I will double-check for you just to make sure. Sounds like a manufacturer defect on behalf of the mount. It should be covered under warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 surley they didnt change the holes for 08s? I just ordered one. I'm quite exicted to get rid of my annoying vent mounted holder.

desertfoxaz Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The guy that makes them said that he based it on a 2008 Outback. I have a 2008 Legacy so you would think they're the same. I guess my car is a little out of spec for the cubby holes. The rubber mat that the car came with didn't fit too good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryobi1 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 My guess is a defect in the holes as the 05-09 are the exactly the same. I am going to make him a custom cut one that will fit his holes. This is the first time I have run into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 sounds logical. Poke them out with a screw driver maybe? Or order a replacement cubby pocket assembly..

Jerboa113 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I just bought a suction cup mount off ebay for $10.

fishbone Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 For what? iPhone/Touch? I'd be interested as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 iphone. I'll post pics if it works out. I bought one like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260301887783 hard to tell from the pic, but it may be long enough.

fishbone Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Looks nice but I have a slim case Don't think it'll fit, not sure how "elastic" it is. Do let us know how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryobi1 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 If you want to mount an iphone, this mount will work http://www.arkon.com/iPhone_Car_Mount.php Here are some pictures http://www.subarucubbymount.com/customer-pictures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
change_agent Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Ryobi I will be ordering mine on Friday...I want to make sure I am back east for when it arrives...also Canada Post in my part of Canada is a hit and miss affair. For the Canadians who want to order the Arkon mount for the Garmin 265wt that Ryboi1's site links you to...they have a Canadian mirror site to order the mount from http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16858989007 Those in Canada who are thinking of this unit...buy the one without the traffic..it is cheaper...and the free traffic service Garmin uses only has coverage area in the GTA :confused:and the USA. The rest of Canada you are out of luck unless you can buy an optional Garmin Receiver for MSN direct at 119$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have to tell you the item that I bought as mentioned in post 63 is junk. DO NOT BUY THAT ITEM!

fishbone Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 ryobi1, how flexible are the holding tabs on the iPhone mount you are using? I have a slim silicone case which adds a bit to the width of my device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryobi1 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I'm not sure as I do not have the mount myself. I will try to pm the person that sent me the picture to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryobi1 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 This is what I found out about the iPhone mount. "I just ordered a Vroom vulcanized rubber case for my iPhone but it has not yet come in.... My intuition is that the Vroom case will add too much bulk as the mount is form fitting. As for the silicone I'm betting it will fit but will beat up the case over time." Hope that helps __________________________________________________ http://www.cubbymounts.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 for now i'm riding on the air vent mount that I got at best buy. Spent enough money trying ot make this work. The mount I linked to above broke before I put it in the car and from the looks of things is much too tall for the cubby mount. I will probably just buy the mount kit mentioned by ryobi but not right now.

bitz Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi guys, Can someone please explain how to take off the cubby door? My tomtom doesn't seem to fit without taking the door off. Are there just a couple screws I seem to be missing? Thanks for helping out a noob. -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think you have to take the entire cubby pod assembly out of the dash. The cubby pocket itself screws in where the air vents connect to the dash trim on the top and I believe does similar on the bottom. Once you have the cubby pocket assembly out you can then try to take the door off. I believe it actually just clips onto the pocket.

Th3Franz Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Would an Arkon GN-115 mount work well with a Garmin 260W? The plastic ball clicks directly to the backplate of the unit. I received my plate today from ryobi. fast shipping thanks. Now I just need to get a compatible mount since the suction cup one my Garmin came with won't work. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID=13381 -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 There are no screws that keep the cubby in place, the whole assembly which includes the cubby space and the two vents basically pops out. Just pry it gently towards you by keeping an equal amount of pressure/pull on both sides and up/down. What I mean is don't yank just on one side, you risk bending/breaking tabs and generally just making it harder to come out. Pull it straight towards you and you'll be able to figure out what screws you need to undo to take the door off. Not hard at all, I had some trouble snapping the darned thing back into place.
