BAC5.2 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have a few questions: 1) Can the cubby close with the mount still in place (sans GPS)? 2) Is there any GPS that will fit inside the cubby and allow the door to fully close?

ryobi1 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 With the mount in place, the door will not shut. I pull the mount and suction cup out and slide it under my seat. As for the size of the GPS, the one I have seen are to big to fit with the door in place. Hope that helps. www.subarucubbymount.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hmm, bummer. I was hoping for a portable unit that I wouldn't have to remove in order to "hide".

erikras Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm planning to purchase a Garmin 265WT. Should I get the old style mount or the new one? If I'm using the Arkon mount, do I need the extra space sticking out with the 265WT? EDIT: Scratch that! Just found a great deal on a 755T so I ordered that and a new style mount from ryobi1.

justyfid Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I first have to say that Ryobi's mount is excellent...im still using the older one with the Arkon mount. My suction cup hangs over the edge slightly, so I will probably look to get a new one sometime soon. I also included pics of my audio setup in which I used an amplirider to multiply and power extra 3.5 inputs. This is a relatively simple and excellent ipod/GPS solution many out there might be looking for. If anyone has questions about my install or wants to know more, just let me know.

Longitude Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'm liking my new model mount w/Arkon mount. Need to find time to disassemble teh console and hardwire teh gps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryobi1 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 I am have been playing around with other options then just the GPS. I picked up a few new mounts through Arkon and thought I would show them. Here is my cubby mount with the Arkon GN115 and the Arkon SM020 Universal Cell Phone Cradle. It works really well for holding my Sirius controller and can be used for iPhones, etc. http://www.subarucubbymount.com http://www.subarucubbymount.com/uploads/1/0/2/7/1027811/6178822_orig.jpg http://www.subarucubbymount.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindspin311 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 So, just to clarify, a Garmin 255W will not work with either mount using the standard supplied suction cup mount. You need to use the Arkon mount that is suggested on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justyfid Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 You would definitely want the Arkon mount however, you might be able to make it work with the original mount. I was able to angle the original mount towards upper back part of the cubby with the supplied suction cup mount. It worked well and looks fine, but the Arkon mount with the new mount would be well worth the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindspin311 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Just bought the new style mount with the Arkon. Hopefully Ill have it in time for my trip up to Boston next Thursday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryobi1 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 I have added additional mounts for TomTom and iPhone to my site. If there is a model that you are interested in mounting, let me know. I will post some pictures when I get them. www.subarucubbymount.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyNW Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 So what exactly is the difference between the new and old mount you made? I have an 05 Outback XT and want whichever one will fit best for me. I found there was a rubber mat in the cubby that was fit to the space already. I took that out and the Garmin suction mount seems to stick to the plastic cubby by itself. anybody else tried this? I want to buy Ryobi's part, but if it works without I probably could save the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Got my mount a couple days ago to use with my iPhone. Works great and is sturdy! Just need to get a jazzy hook-up for it & I'll be set. Thanks for a nice product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryobi1 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 The suction mount will stick on the bottom of the cubby, but only for a short period of time. The surface of my mounts are very smooth allowing the mount to stay in place. As for the difference between the new and the old, the new one was designed to allow for more adjust ability. That is the biggest difference. http://www.subarucubbymount.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryobi1 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 That looks like a good idea as well. My concern would be the velcro. I have a lot of problems with the velcro on my radar detector when the weather gets hot. With my mount I have yet to have my GPS fall for any reason. Now if I could come up with a better mount for my detector??? I have added mounts for TomTom and Magellan now. If there is anyone in my area (Portland, Oregon) with either of these models, I would love to get some pictures in exchange for a mount. http://www.subarucubbymount.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackleford Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 My concern would be the velcro. Maybe someday someone will make velcro where the glue is stronger than the loop/hook fasteners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 the problem is not the velcro, the problem is the adhesive on the velcro. velcro is the best invention since air.

mdudley Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 My cubby has a light as well, it has a deep yellow, almost orange-ish glow to it. I have hesitated in purchasing ryobi1's product because, not being electrically savvy, I knew the light would annoy me and I wouldn't be able to disable it. Can anyone relate? Has anyone attempted a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Wtf. My 09 doesn't have a light... I wonder if the light is a plug-and-play swap to the newer cars. Not that I'll have a cubby much longer anyway, but it would be nice.
