Post pics of Aftermarket GPS

[P's Titan]

Recently got a TomTom One and was wondering were everyone mounted there GPS units.

Trying to get some ideas.

Thanks

I recently bought a Garmin Nuvi 350 and mounted it right in the center where the factory GPS would go. I did not like the cord hanging down the dash so I drilled a small hole behind the unit and ran the cord behind the radio down to a additional 12v outlet I installed behind the dash. Will post pics when I get home tonight.

I have been looking and waiting for a GPS with a much bigger screen like 5.5" or 7" the 2.5" - 3.5" just wont do for this old fart ...

how did you mount it ? I can't get the mount to suction very well on the center piece.

nav should have come with a mounting pad that uses 3M adhesive to stick to the dash vs the windhield. this is how i mounted mine:

You need one of these:


to suck it to your window correctly ...

i've also seen them mounted on the windshield next to the A-pillar, left of the steering wheel.

Mine came with a winshield mount as well as a small disc that had double sided tape on it, I plced the disc in the center and then the windshield mount suctions onto the disc.

Damn I hate this 15 post thing

I need to run my cables through the center area to hide them still... Nothing special though. Garmin C550 and the bluetooth rocks on it. My 1 Gig MP3 SD card holds enough music so if I get tired of Sat I can switch to that :-)

Still need to buy a cigarette lighter adapter splitter to run both my sirius and C550 from the same outlet up front. My idea is to do the same output to a Y stereo splitter into my DVD so I can have a better sounding sat radio. It does really well for my MP3s too.

Ill try to take some pictures during the day but I got the mount and the GPS so you get the idea.
