GPS solution
For my GPS solution, I removed the center storage area and then used Velcro and a small block of wood. Loved the 6 inch screen on this model. It's not waterproof so when it rains I just pull it off and stick it in my pocket. Another reason not to hardwire it. The cord goes from the unit, bunched up in the left compartment, and then down to the cigarette lighter. With three screws I can remove the GPS and compartments and go without.
(New to the site so I hope the picture I posted comes through - if not, I'm talking about a 3 compartment windshield storage item.)
