It's a pain to get it just right.
Make sure dash is really clean and dry before applying.
You can go to home Depot and get some much stronger velcro for a few bucks.

Get 91% Isopropyl Alcohol in the first aid section at Wal Mart and clean the dash with cotton ***** using it. It'll lift oil residues and give you better adhesion.

Edge dash pod... Failed install

Thanks guys! The included Velcro didn't have any tack to the side that was supposed to adhere to the dash... Alcohol cleaned and wouldn't stick... Put my finger on the pads.. Not the slightest bit of tack to it... Lol. U would think edge would provide a bit better Velcro product with this for what the darn cts and pod kit costs! Will have to try Home Depot and see what they have... Mane a piece of double sided tape so as to use the edge Velcro pads possibly....
