Do they make a powered gooseneck lighter mount?
I'm looking for a POWERED mount for my X30 that hooks into my lighter that is the bendable gooseneck style. I've been looking for mounts for like 3 weeks now and everything I can find on the market has one feature I don't like.

The Seidio only attaches to the window or the vent. I don't any part of my windshield blocked - it just looks tacky to me. My vents are tiny 2002 Dodge Stratus vents and I don't want it mounted that high anyways.

The closest thing I've found is the Gomadic, but it's not a gooseneck - it only has one pivot point and I think my shifter would be in the way.

I know I'm probably being obsessive-compulsive, but there has to be some mount out there that is a (1) POWERED (2) LIGHTER MOUNT with (3)A FLEXIBLE "GOOSENECK".

Any help will be infinitely appreciated! Thanks!

Good luck finding all three. I have not seen any that do this. Arkon makes a mount that meets #2 and #3, but is NOT powered.

I actually bought and returned that Arkon mount. It rattles too much when I drive, which leads me to believe that the same thing would happen with any powered gooseneck mount I would get.

So I've given up on powered - I just want something that does NOT attach to the windshield. My vents are tiny circle vents (2002 Dodge Stratus Coupe). If Proclip made a mount for my car I would be the happiest man alive, as I don;t really want something blocking my vents anyways. A cupholder mount wont work because I have only one cupholder and like to drink (sodas) and drive. And I'm not good enough with my hands to make something myself.

I am totally out of luck. WOE IS ME!!!!

Still no luck
It's beet two months and two returned purchases later. There is no mounting solution I can find for my 2002 Dodge Stratus coupe. Proclip would be the best option. A powered lighter mount would be next (I can't believe nobody makes these).

WHY oh WHY does my car have to have those stupid retro circular vents.

I agree w/you on several points. I don't want a windshield or vent mount. The gooseneck lighter mount would be fine. I already have a tomtom mount so I'm going to mod my car somewhat and make my own mount. I've been thinking about various approaches for 3 weeks. I'm almost ready to begin.

What about a dashboard mount? Suction cup to the dash, with short shaft up to pda mount?

Would thies work for you?
