Retro fit TOMTOM

Fed up cleaning out cubbyhole , and cleaning sucker marks on windscreen so decided to build in TOM TOM.
Took out cubby and stuck SATNAV in ( using 3M double sided tape) . Connected power to USB on IPod module . Done in 30mins. Can disconnect USB and connect to Macbook for updates. Might make some brackets if tape doesn't work .They use it for spoilers though.

Looks good and a snug fit!
which model TT is it?

Any problem with GPS signal?

You happy leaving it in the car with all the light fingers around or does it coe out easy?

Looks good, how do you turn it on or do you leave it switched on all the time. I have an XL fitted in cubby hole but have to switch on to use all the time.

Black sharpie marker does the trick rather neatly.
