Um, how would that mount work with the OR/CO? The OR/CO don’t have a ball interface like that. Is there an adaptor?

You would have to purchase the Auto Nav kit as well. The Auto Nav kit has CO/OR rail mount to ball adapter. In the Auto Nav kit the ball attaches to a suction window mount but it pops off easily. I’ve successfully used it with my old style beanbag mount. The only thing I’m not sure about with this new dash mount is whether the ball is high enough so that the bottom of the unit (or the USB cable in case of the OR) hits the dash.
