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.

Thanks,

Now I can use it in my other cars as well, it's a perfect gift for me (the person that's always lost!).

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 :thumbup:

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.
