    I've tried most of the tapes to secure the screen of the unit to the dash but it just won't stick, has anyone ever used anything other than tape or does anyone have any ideas ?

    Sorry, o7 sportback, the dash is kinda pimply if you know what I mean, it's more textured than smooth

    Cool. I'd be mounting the screen far away in your line of sight, up in the corner of the windscreen at the end of the "A" pillar there's a little ledge you could put it on. Otherwise you could mount it in the middle far back on the dash where the defog air vents are. Allow enough cable length to go to control pad though.

    Think you might have misunderstood me lol

    It's all installed, I just can't get the screen to stick to the dash

    I understand you.
    You have it in a silly place though :)

    You need layers of foam tape. Prep area so its completely clean and dry.
    Start with thin tape. Make sure its stuck really firmly to dash. Then stick foam tape to this take, then foam tape to underside of Bluetooth screen, then stick one to the other.

    Hope that makes sense.
