Hmmm, I do have to lean slightly forward when I change tunes while I'm driving, but don't have that problem.

Here's a picture of mine with the lever in drive, and the steering wheel turned slightly just for picture clarity.

I can reach my switch without moving more than my arm, and the shift lever doesn't block my view in drive FWIW.

Know it's an old post, but Thanks for the write-up, Chase. I just received my mount and was wondering if there was something missing to hold it in place. I see not.

Time to figure out where I want to mount it.

Some have used a sliver-thin bead of silicone adhesive to keep it securely mounted.

On a similar note, can this same mount be used ford a Hydra? I ordered a Hydra recently and didn't have the option of the USB extention or hard mount. Not quite sure how I'll mount it yet. I had the hard mount for my DP and liked it.

The Hydra is slightly different and needs to have some of the plastic housing sanded off to fit.

Well, got it done! Placed it so it would cover a couple of holes that were in the dash (probably from a mic mount, 10-4). I made a cardboard template first and traced the hole to the tape. Took more filing than I thought it would. I ran into some plastic support framing under the AC duct, so I ended up dropping it down about a quarter of an inch. Turned out pretty decent - maybe 1/32" off - definitely something I can live with, though!
