Hee heee,

Almost the same thing what I did to mine. Instead of placing a monitor screen, I remove the display screen and create a dummy box. Place a garmin Nuvi 200w inside. Fit perfectly. At least now, the directions are in english!!!:biggrin:

$650 is the price of the garmin, how about the installation fee? or u guys talking about DIY?
 
The Garmin NavSat does not need much installation. It is a simple DIY job becoz it runs on its own power source or u can just plug into yr ciggi lighter socket.
U just need to secure the cradle that holds the unit at a position that provides a good view to the driver.
The unit can also be use as a portable unit when u are overseas.
 
hope the attached picture can explain .... :)

this is what i've done to my stock navigation ...
 
IMHO..I think the garmin nuvi shld be left "free and easy" coz since it is portable, u can carry it with u or transfer to another car when the need arises.
If you want a permanently fix unit, u might as well buy this...

And u just connect it to your audio/video entertainment system and the map will be transfer to yr dvd player screen. But it does cost more than the Nuvi unit though...:biggrin:

Well, my nuvi is still "free and easy" and portable with this mod.

I just need to press one button and take it out, it's not fixed to the car for life thingy. When you need it again just put it back. Plug and play, just a 10 seconds job.

The best part is, you don't have to pack up all the mess on your dashboard everytime after you use, ( the cigarette lighter charger, windscreen suction cup) . Just one button.

wanted to know, which model of the garmin nuvi you are using for this? and how to connect for the power? since you said you are not using the cigarette lighter charger..
