i have. will be posting the pics. but i have to put it at the side vent where i can regulate the airflow since too much cold air will cause moisture on the unit and may damage it.

is there a stealthier way of hiding the powercord going to the lighter plug?

this is one of my latest dillemas. i hate dangling wires.

That's very subjective -- it depends on where you place the unit and your car's center console design, among others.

Since I have my Nuvi at the upper part and passenger side of the windshield, I solved the problem by hiding the cable in the channel between the windshield and the headliner, down the passenger-side A-pillar and into the glove box. There's a 12V cig. lighter extender coming from the car's receptacle to the glove box. I have just 2 inches of wire showing (from the car's receptacle going into an access hole behind it).

This is an outdated pic. Currently, I've only one wire (used black plug and wire, instead of the white eyesore in the pic) coming from the 12V receptacle going into an access hole behind the ScanGauge and into the glove box from behind.

Hi, guys.

Just the other day, I saw 3 types of car mount models for our Nuvis or CPs @ CD-R King.

They have two suction-types and one dashboard mount type.

I want to ask those who already have the suction-type models. Is the quality good? The Garmin suction that comes with the package is so good and keeps our nuvi secure.

Also any of you who tried the dashboard mount type? If yes, please give us your feedback. The item looks very bulky.

I am using the windshield mounted type. Build quality is good. It securely sticks to the windshield. Even if I pass through rough roads, the mount never falls off. Check out my picture (2nd to the last picture, the one with the HTC).
