2007 Toyota Yaris

Hello,

Recently bought a new car, a Toyota Yaris. Needless to say, there is next to NO options for a mobile mounting setup. I could try a side console mount for my 2096, but this would require the passenger seat to be pushed back all the way, and though I don't have a lot of passengers I am not liking this option. I'm thinking I'll need to go with some form of handheld mount for either a 246T or a 96. I want something strong and sturdy. I have found this one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Car-Floor-Scanne...QQcmdZViewItem

Does anyone know of some other places I can find mounts like this? Does anyone have personal experience with this type of setup, and can you provide some feedback and possibly some pictures? Lastly, and pardon my ignorance, but is it safe to simply loosen a seatbolt and attatch this kind of mount? Is there any sensor that would tie into the airbag if the seatbolt is tampered with? Loosening a screw and mounting this seems easy, but with today's vehicles I'm very leery of trying something like this without knowing of possible consequences. Thanks for any help.

Mark,

Look up Pro Fit on the web. They have very substantial
suction cup mounts that go on the windshield and will
hold an HT, HH scanner, control head, speaker, etc. I use
two of them in my Outback. Send me your email address
and I'll send you photos. It's pretty slick, and cheap, too.

Regards,
