My dad has a Garmin sorry, he is out and i dont have a pic but he runs the wire down the drivers side of the dash, under the plastic by your knees/steering wheel, then runs it under the console by the E brake and into the main console with the power outlet there is a little bit of plastic that pops off in the console... and it looks real tidy...bit of a pain in the *** and we will never take the wires out until he sells it or trades it in for a shelby....(im trying to talk him into it..my mums talking him out of it lol)

I have a Garmin Nuvi. I think I paid $150 for the brand new one out. My family has 4. one for each since half live in far away states and traveling is high. But with the cord I run it under my steering wheel like the guy above me said. Plenty of cord and then some. You shouldn't have any problem.

i have the garmin nuvi 200w - suction cup mounted in between the two center vents. its a great spot for em, keeps the windshield clear. i mostly keep it in the glove box until needed. and it has an internal battery, so you dont have to have it plugged in all the time. i can post some pics later tomorrow.

We tried mounting it on the dash but it wouldn't stick properly so our last resort was the windshield
