Help! Need to install Nuvi 360

Does anyone have the instructions on how to install a nuvi 360 in a 05 Carbrio MINI S....we live 5 hours from the closest dealership and I would like my local audio guy to be able to install it!
Thanks!

Get the mount from Craven; it is the best, in my opinion and experience.

I just ordered the gominigo nuvi bracket. I don't know how it'll compare to the craven, but either would be exponentially cheaper than the dealer installed kit.

I have a Nuvi as well (a 255w I think). My suggestion is to plug it into your lighter, listen to the instructions, and glance at the map only when needed. I just got back from a 400 mile trip doing that and it worked-out just fine.

Thanks for that...but this one came with a permenant mount and have made all of these new friends with the factory instructions. We do have GPS's in our other vehicles that we plug into the lighter...but I wanted just one of them to not look like the back of my desk with wires for phones, gps, and ipods! Again, Many Thanks and happy motoring!
