Good question. Here's a link to the picture for those interested: http://www.motoringfun.com/~images/2...ortablenav.jpg.

I've gone with the sucker for now, but if anyone has a keen mount solution, please share.

 

Which nuvi is it? I just purchased a Nuvi 350 from CompUSA and love it!!!!!!!!!!!
I have it on the bottom left corner of the wind shield. Fits perfect. Look in my signature, and click the cardomain link, i have a picture there of it.

This is from the Accessories section from the East Bay MINI site. $750 for the parts. How much would they charge for labour? I'm thinking the total would be around $1000. Looks good though. Doesn't say which model Garmin it is though. I'll earn some more points on my MINI VISA first and then think about adding it on in 6 months.

 

Its a 360

 

if this is the nuvi 350, which it looks like, like mine. its worth 500.

 

A 360... is that good or bad for that price? I haven't done any research on GPS systems, so I don't know what's what. Would it be better to just the store model? But, then I think they wire it up in the MINI version so no need to plug it into the cigarette lighter, right? I love the customisable car though.

 

its a 360 because it has bluetooth built in

A hair under $650 MSRP, if it's the 360. Man, I like the bluetooth phone feature. I'm seriously gonna consider this one!

An extra $100 for the customisable MINI car... depends on what they charging for labour at the Dealer, but if they'll be hiding wires and making it clean and simple for $1000, I'll save up my pennies and go for it.

 

This is from Mini..??
I thought the navi is a factory option that replaces the speedo?

 

it is, this is an after production acc.

just a gps, with mini name on it, with a special mout.

the mount that comes with the garmin works great on my mini.

 

I have the "Garmin Nüvi 360 MINI Cooper Europe" for a while now and I absolutely love it! It's just some details this Nüvi has and other Nüvi's don't have. All the MINI dealers (addresses and phone numbers), a little MINI on you're screen (that MINI you can personalize with a software programme), the special mount, and so on. It is an official MINI product.


The mount goes onto the back of the rev counter. You can work away the cable via the wheel house.


The cable you just worked away has to be connected to the wires of the MINI so that if you start you're MINI the Garmin will automatically go on. If you stop the car it will automatically go into charging.

I have it and love it!!

 

Wow, I love it! Thanks for the detailed pics. I'll probably make it a Christmas gift to myself. Or is there an earlier holiday I can use as an excuse? Independence Day. Canada Day. Abour Day. All those work. This is dealer installed, yes? How much did your dealer charge for install?

 

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350.. works great.. The 360 owners need to extract that car file so all other garmin nuvi owners can use it.. I already have the MINI Wings splash page as my opening screen when it boots up

 

How do you control it?
Would reaching behind the steering wheel a bit inconvenient?

 

The SRF files have been posted in this thread, thanks to hunter99:

I've installed them on my Nuvi 680, they look great.

 

what i dont get it is, how would you use it when its on the mount! yes i am braking the law to hit home when im on the move, i try to do it only when im at a stop, but sometimes i need to turn it off or somthing and it looks like you would need to reach to the left and around the wheel, where as mine and others that are mounted to the windshiled on the left, you have a clear hit. and with that, you barely have to divert your eyes from the road, since its still on the windshield haha

 

o yea gregw....thanks for the link...just put all the mini gear on...sweet. it even had my car, a darksilver blacktop mini, which is now my Map car. hahah

 

You get those on newegg.com for around $350
