It WILL fall, when mine did it didn't crack the dash but the power plug is on the bottom... and that hit first knocking the connector loose from the motherboard. I'm lucky and know someone who works with micro electronics to fix it for me.
I just got it back and the first thing I did was make a mount for the mount... in the radio area. Covered the empty din below the radio with a piece of ABS black plastic and mounted the mount to that. Works great, doesn't get in my way, doesn't fall but I can remove the GPS... It will work until I get my hands on a double din gps unit... I'm drooling over those.
