Default Pics of Edge Evolution CS mounted?

I had the Evolution in my '05 F150, and now that I'm in a '13, I'd like to get the Evolution CS. I can't find any pictures of the dash mount for the new body style trucks, so if anyone has one and would like to snap a pic, I'd appreciate it!

I'm not talking about the thing that sticks it to the window, I mean the custom pods that fit the curvature of the dash.

I've got a CTS with window suction mount and the dash pod in my 2010. I still haven't got the damn pod to stick on the dash so I've been using the window mount. I can put it on and snap a pic if you want tho. There are 3 mount points on the bottom of the pod that take double sided tape and/or Velcro. I ripped the Velcro squares off and tried double sided tape with no luck and a different kind of Velcro with no luck either. It's been collecting dust for about a year now lol.

You may have better luck than me bro. I got the unit slightly used (2 months old) from a friend of a friend. I didn't ask if it came with the Velcro squares and if he used it or the window mount. I swear I've rubbed alcohol and cleaned the dash till I thought the finish was going to come off. I used 3m tape rated to hold ~15lbs so it should hold. It could be the wire itself that plugs in causing problems it kinda puts pressure forward on the unit, but I've found no other way to wire it besides through the corner of the dash up behind that top kick panel that has the vent hole in it.

Don't let the mounting problems of a used unit deter you. The product is solid...well I assume the CS is better than the regular Evolution I used to have (OP here). Edge makes a great unit, and in my old truck I used the provided velcro tabs and it held great...honestly, it held by itself but the velcro made it snug.

I'm just looking to see how it looks in the cab of a 09-11 truck.


EDIT: just realized you already have the CTS unit... I'd say go for the mount, assuming you like the pictures someone hopefully posts here, the provided velcro works fine!

That'd be great! Even if you just put the pod on there without the CTS or little adapter (because the CS is smaller and fits the whole)...I'm just trying to get an idea of what it looks like.

I have a cs on my 2011. Mounting pod won't really mount. Nothing sticks. Looks good when it stays though.
