I have heard alot of people asking about mounting options for GPS units. Well, I decided to go ahead & post what I had done myself.
Picture #1 & #2 shows the mounting bracket I had bought from BestBuy.. Cost me $27.99.
From there, I had removed the front center plastic & windscreen only. The reason for this is to make sure the GPS unit is not going to be in the way of the windscreen at all..
Next, find the center point of the dash mount (not to hard since the bottom windscreen mount is dead center) and aligned the mounting bracket, screwed it in, and done & over with that. Picture #3
Next, put in the mount that is provided for you in the GPS Kit for your GPS unit to the mounting bracket. It will be alittle lose to allow you to adjust it where you want it.... Tuck the windscreen back in, and put the GPS unit on the mount & adjust to your preference. Take note of this and make sure the slide is facing up. Picture #4
Next, tighten down the mount, mount it to the GPS, slide it onto the mounting bracket screwed into the dash, put the windscreen back on, tighten everything back down and voila! Picture #5
The best part is, I had done this to a stock GPS mount for a TomTom One 3rd Generation & rode around in the rain and the GPS never got wet since it was under the windscreen, but i'd still think about putting a zip-loc bag over it for precaution....
also, it does not interfere with any gauges, or warning lights.
And from there, it is pretty simple & explained by the pictures I have provided.
Also, the kit I bought has a mount for iPhone, iPod nano 4th & 5th gen, iPod Touch, Garmin Nuvi & Zumo series Street Pilot C & I series, Magellen Maestro & Roadmate 1200 -1212 -1400 - 1412 - 1430, Magellen Roadmate 1210 - 1220 - 1340 - 1440 - 1470 & N extar Q4 & ME..
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Im more then happy to answer them!!
