I just ordered this from amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Lighter...FQKW8SCVECNBAJ

I figured for $13 it was worth a try. We have the lifetime traffic reports on our Garmin Nuvi so we need to plug the power cable in so that it will access the road reports and this gives us that option.

Moreover, they were the type that you could completely close, where the majority (or all) of the '11s with rectangular ones cannot be closed off at all.

I should have bought that red one; I like the round vents that you can completely close off way better than the rectangular vents.

I'd have to see pictures of this because i have been at the dealer-ship, building cars on-line and reading everything I can find and have NEVER seen anything in person, on-line or in print on an option to have the center vents round....

found a thread elsewhere on putting factory nav on a non-nav car, cant be done apparently. as for the guages, what i need to do is just get that guage that can read all sorts of stuff (i forget the name now) and sensors for AFR and boost.

So I do admit that this specific car could have been a one of a kind. But I have no proof it is just one of a kind, so please do take my word with a bit of salt.

Hi, I just bought a 2008 Mustang and am looking for a GPS mount. The one you've posted is EXACTLY what I am looking for. Can you tell me who makes this item or where to find it online?

Thanks so much!
