Hello!
Today i took some of my time and measure this:





Red and yellow - size of the screen
Light and dark blue - install without cuts
Light and dark green - need to cut some plastic.

Do you think that these measures are correct?

I think that i could cut a litle bit more plastic, mayby 2 or 3 mm.

Hello!
I did not measure from the ventilation air outlet to the other one. If so, i thin you can get a few more mm, maybe 3 each side. Note that the dark green line is not leaning on the plastic ventilation.

Something that i think that is important, is to centre the gps in the space.
On the left (right on image) and on the top, without cutting, you have less space than on the right (left on image) and on the bottom, respectively.

The Archos tablet i used was 188mm and i shaved some of the plastic away to get it to fit 192 will not fit.

You will need to either alter the power supply as per a previous thread re a freelander tablet or drill a hole into air vent for lead to connect , I chose the latter , it is hardly noticeable. I bought a spare vent of Ebay if needed to return to stock.

OK, forget the Nexus then! Thanks for the information. I'll stick with the current Garmin satnav for the moment.

I used a few blobs of body filler to secure the SatNav behind the surround.

I chose the Garmin Nuvi 2699 LMT-D because;

It has Bluetooth for hands-free telephone.
You can connect a wireless reversing camera to it
My wife was used to using a Garmin SatNav

I hard wired it, I bought a piggy-back fuse holder (similar to eBay eBay Item No. 151973106702) fitted it to F10 under the glove box, picked up an earth from behind the panel at the side of the foot well.

Then because the Garmin will only charge from the cigar lighter adapter they comes with the satnav, I soldered the live and earth to that, then wrapped that with self amalgamating tape.

Be careful to get the piggy-back fuse holder the right way round, I didn't first time and blew an engine management fuse which caused all sorts of problems.
