I have Garmin Nuvi 660 mounted on the overhead console and hard wired. I will take some pictures and post tonight.

Sorry for the pic quality. Basically, it is mounted via modified vent mount to the top on the short(sunroof) overhead console and hard wired.

nice!

i like the fact that its hard-wired...

do you find it annoying to have to look up at it? closer to eye level would be good but i dont see where that would be...

i just got a Tom-Tom unit similar to that, so I can see how it'll look...

thanks for replying!

No problem. I'm sure you will find a kit for hard wiring in ebay or somewhere. It is really easy and when you sit, it is not much higher than your eye level. Nuvi 660 has the bluetooth, so I hooked up the microphone on the visor, so I can receive and make calls on the Nav system.

I've had a couple of Magellan?s and a couple of Garmin's. I love my Nuvi 680. For mounting solutions, I suggest looking here:

I considered the same location as 410225 used, but didn't want to reach up to operate. Also didn't think that the direct sun through the roof would do much for legibility. I used part of a mount from the company above and attached using am exixting allen bolton the dash. I'll try to snap some pix for you tomorrow.
