Frequently Asked Questions - C-HDM-205 Havis

What tools are required to install the Havis C-HDM-205?

You will need a large metric socket set (1/2" drive), small metric and US standard set (1/4" drive), 7/8", 1/2", and 7/16" wrenches, US standard Allen wrench set, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

How does the mount attach to the vehicle?

The HDM Base mounts using the existing seat bolts. You remove the plastic caps, remove the OEM seat bolts and nuts, then align the base and secure with the original bolts. Some variations mount under or over the seat bracket.

Can I adjust the height of the pole?

Yes, the shaft collar on the inner pole can be loosened and moved up or down to achieve the desired height, then fully tightened. This adjustment is done in step 12 of the installation.

Is the mount compatible with any docking station?

The kit includes an Adaptor Plate and Swing Arm designed to fit Havis docking stations. For third-party docking stations, you may need additional adapters. The manual shows attaching a Docking Station to the mounting bracket.

What is the purpose of the optional ChargeGuard?

The ChargeGuard Power Management System manages power distribution and protects your devices. It connects to the fused 12V battery and provides regulated power to the docking station or laptop.

How do I ensure safety during installation?

Always read all instructions before installing. Check for obstructions such as wires, brake lines, or fuel tanks. Use only the hardware provided with the install kit to avoid damage or failure.

Can the mount be used in other vehicles besides the 2010 Ford Focus?

Yes, the instructions use the 2010 Ford Focus as an example, but the mount is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles. Check the seat bolt pattern and clearance before installation.

What is the weight capacity of this mount?

While not explicitly stated, typical heavy-duty mounts from Havis support up to 15-20 lbs (7-9 kg). For heavier equipment, consider consulting Havis support.

How do I clean and maintain the mount?

Periodically inspect all bolts and tighten if necessary. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the coating.

Optional items include the C-HMD-409 Offset Plate for centering, ChargeGuard Power Management System, two-piece support collar with side arm, and L bracket for additional dash support.
