That is very helpful - thanks very much. Although these are very impressive, I am not sure that I am brave or clever enough to do any mods myself. I would rather use some non-invasive surgery and merely mount the Sat Nav in the cubby hole using the bracket that (I think) it comes with. Does anyone have any experience of doing something like that?

You can mount it in a more simple way as well:

I have the Garmin Nuvi 250W that fits nicely in the hole with its own bracket.

My garmin 250 simply jams into the cubby (as the cubby gets smaller the deeper into it you get) no need for brackets etc and its nicely shielded from the sun not very high tech I know but less is often more.

I have used the same method as Dave by sticking the metal disc to the upper side of the cubby hole and sticking the window mount to this. This I believe has advantages over fitting the system completely into the cubby hole in that as the mount protrudes slightly it can be angled to face the driver, this also allows access to the cubby to store sunglasses etc, The Garmin can also be easily taken off the mount and removed for safety and updates, plus the whole mount can be removed so as nothing is on show that says to a potential thief that a satnav might be in the car. The main downside is that the power lead has to be run to the power sockets by the gearstick, I am looking into having an extra power socket fitted at the back of the cubby hole to tidy this up. |

I have a Garmin 200W, this minimalist approach works for me too. For info this approach wont work for TomTom models. I've tried with a Go300 and the more recent 720. Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery! Company cars ... a thing of the past - May 2013. |

You should check out Garmin NUvi 5000. i just mounted mine over the weekend and now awaiting to finish off with a few minor taps (audio into aux) and awaiting the arrival of the cut-out frame.
