The navigation is where I find myself in a little bind as I could not find a model with Nav that was exactly what I wanted. So what I would like to do is buy a new high end GPS and mount it to the window to the left of the steering wheel with the suction cup that has a USB receiver in it. It will look very clean and be out of the way. My issue is I want to hard wire a USB charger or USB cable that charges into my vehicle so I don't have cables going back across the seat and into the cig lighter. Does anyone know how I could do this or do you know of an article that explains how to hard wire a USB cable? I am thinking I can wire it into the fuse panel but what do you guys think?
Thanks! |
Check out a thread by Sna77 (may be in bimmerfest). He did a great mod where he installed a Garmin into the dash. Simply put, there is an OEM part that replaces the in-dash compartment that can mount a Garmin GPS and then hard-wire it into a fuse by using a tap. It's tiled something like BMW Navigation Portable Pro Anyone See it? I'm eventually getting around to doing the mod myself.
Hope you don't mind the shout out Sna77?
