Construction: The Pioneer SDA-SC510 is designed for use in your vehicle. It is made with automotive-grade materials that can withstand temperature extremes from -14°F to +140°F.

Mounting Options: The charging cradle can be mounted in your car in various ways. The package includes a suction cup mount which can be mounted to your dash or windshield. To place the suction cup on textured dashboards, you can add the included adhesive-backed dash pad for a more secure attachment. The mount arm can be adjusted 180° and extended up to 2″ (from 4-3/8″ to 6-3/8″) so you can find the ideal height and position. You can also install the cradle using the included vent mount which has spring-loaded tabs that hold the mount to your vehicle’s air vent slats. Both mounts attach to the charging cradle via a ball-and-socket fastener. Once attached to the mount, you can rotate and swivel the cradle 360° for best visibility, and for vertical or horizontal screen viewing. A safety strap is included for preventing the mounted cradle from falling.

Note: Some localities prohibit or restrict the placement of objects on the dashboard or windshield. Please comply with your location’s applicable rules and regulations.

The back and side panel feature a silicone pad that protects your phone from scratches, while holding it firmly to the cradle. The panels open to 3-5/8″ to accept the phone. The lock sensor detects when your phone is in place and automatically close the panels to the sides of your phone (down to 2-3/8″).
