Here is how I mounted my Garmin...




It's out of the way of the windshield, and placed where the factory one goes.
I don't need the MID because the Garmin shows the info because I play SD cards off of it. It's connected to my Dice so I keep it on the AUX at all times.

What model is that one?

Thanks,

Thanks again,

Where did you get it?

How do you mount your 7200 in front of the CD slot?

I purchased it at buydig.com - seemed to be reasonably priced.

There a piece of 3M velcro above the center soft keys and two long strips hanging from the CD cover. When I want to put in a CD, I just pull the top of the screen down and it stays in place.

I will post some pics of the mounting and other pics a little later

Hey all -

I used my 660 for the first time, here are my thoughts thus far:

The good:

- Incredible screen
- Simple to work with
- Full of features
- Fits perfect in between the a/c vents (an looks great!)
- Bluetooth feature is cool while talking on the phone - but then again, read about FM transmitter below under "the bad".
- It's compact in size - fits in your pocket!
- The directions appear to work well thus far - granted it's new for me.

The bad:

- The mount is ugly (I won't use it anyway)
- The FM receiver works well but you can't listen to the radio if you're using it.
- Expensive (around $750)

I'm anxious to give it another go - I'll post again after I get some use out of it.

Lance
