California law and mounting a GPS on the inside of my windshield

However, heat will cost you battery life, especially if the phone is
charging at the same time (since this pushes the battery hotter, while
hot air blowing on it reduces the device's ability to dissipate heat.

How significant the effect is will depend on the battery's specific
chemistry.

Hello DevilsPGD,

Do what I do; Close down the vent that the device is attached to. Not
a 100% fix, as there's a small amount of leakage from the vent still,
but it does reduce the airflow in that area greatly.

Of course, this is only necessary if the heater is actually on. In
summer when the aircon is on, I open the vent.

Whether you can do this or not depends on the design of your vent and
the phone clip you're using, some attach to the vent in such a way that
you can't close it.

Hello DevilsPGD,

There's always something, isn't there? :-(

I've never had problems, but then, my GPS only gets mounted in two or
three vehicles, and I've never checked out others for feasibility.

Still, if the possibility exists.....

Incorrect.

 

My grandson broke some of the fins on the air vent of my 1988 Eldorado
just re-aiming it. The plastic elements are becoming brittle, the cloth
of the headliner is no longer attached to the substrate, and I wouldn't
dream of trying to attach anything to the vents.

I inherited the car so it has great sentimental value. Otherwise it's a
POS.

I regard the GPS as a passenger-only device.

 

Then you are a fool.
