Vantrue N4, N2S, X4S, N1 Pro(2023), T3 Dash Cam GPS Receiver Module Type C USB Port Adhesive Mount for Windows and Mac

I had bought this specifically to replace the ineffective suction cup. I have great expectations for this since it will hold my previously unused 200 bucks Vantrue N2S dash cam. So far i am a relieved man. This adhesive doesnt even move one bit and the recordings, along with 24 hr monitoring has finally been of use to me. I hope Vantrue completely remove the suction cup if they intend to make themselves serious in the dash cam industry. Its such a pity that such a brilliant dash cam becomes dud just because of ineffective suction cup.

If you want GPS coordinates to appear with the time/date stamp for your recordings, then you must get this mount. But even if you dont, it is soooooo worth the price. The suction cup mount receives the power cable at the top, which may not be convenient, since you have to mount the camera lower. This mount receives the power cable on its right side, much better. Also, suction cup mounts tend to fall off when the cars interior reaches 90+ degrees F (which it will very quickly in the Summer, even here in New England) whereas this has 3M double sided tape, and it is a very powerful adhesive. It will not be removed easily and will put up a fight if you try to take it out. A razor blade and solvent help with that, and the mount does come with one extra adhesive pad in case you need to move the mount.

Does the job well. Adhesion is 3M which is very high quality. Only drawback I see is that the power plugin is on right side of gps device. So power cord gets a 180 degree bend.

It is a deceiving option of VanTrue. Supposedly, VanTrue can build the unit with GPS. However, it may extend the size of the unit which may prevent it to compete with other brands in terms of styling and compact ability. The one which I hate the most is it pushes the camera lower since we need the upper portion to stick this GPS module. Next issue is the port is only available on the right, while the wiring for back camera is on the left. It complicated the wiring angles. The area around the camera is now crowded with 2 USB-C Cables. Ideally, you should provide two ports for the GPS - one is on the left and one is on right. Next, you can slim down the size or at a minimum you can reduce the diameter of the adhesion area. Well, nothing is perfect. Overall, if I have to setup this camera again, I would omit this GPS module.

The suction mount kept falling down over time. I got tired of reinstalling it so bought this one. This mount works much better than the supplied suction mount. Holds strong and does not fall off over time.

This was a nice update for GPS recording, tried it out on the computer and the coordinates were bang on!

Solved my problem of suction cup falling unespectadly.

I do like this mount but should come with the camera rather than being a separate purchase. Some quirks though that I had to knock a star off for. First is it can be tricky to remove the dashcam from this mount. There is a release tab that should let it slide off but takes a lot of manipulation to get it to finally break free. Second may be related to the geometry of my vehicles windshield but the cable for the rear camera that plugs into the top of the camera is put into a stressed position due to the short distance between the camera and the glass. The cable has to make are hard 90° angle right after the plug because its come in contact with the windshield. While I like the stable mounting offered by using the adhesive strip, Id like to have a suction cup option as well. It could add just enough clearance to make up for the cable strain issue above while also making it possible to relocate the camera in those rare occasions its needed. I know thats a double edged sword since they tend to start legging go after time but having it as an extra options would be helpful.

The suction holder that came with the dash cam was not very good at staying on. So I got this with GPS. Only the dash cam stopped working after 1 week. On top of this breaking as well. Poor design.

So far have not had any issues with the adhesive pad sticking. Made sure to use alcohol to clean the window prior to sticking the mount to the window.
