GPS Nuvi holder without visible wires

Does any one know a garmin nuvi gps holder that is fixed to the dashboard and which charges not only the gps but also links the nuvi to the antenna of the car (for capting the TMC channel) ? I do not want any visible wires !

The OEM garmin mount (from MINI) is a good mount that mounts over the steering column and all the wires are completely hidden. Although for your application, you can remove the OEM wire and replace it with your TMS cable.

Tap into the back of your CIG lighter and add a female CIG lighter behind the dash or tap into Fuse Box. You can buy one at radio shack with open wires for 6.99...

This will give you the ability to plug in your TMS/Garmin cable behind the dash permanently and still capture the FM signal for the TMS.

in case it applies, i don't think the oem mount will work with wide screen Nuvi's.

Kuda Mont will work too.

Gominigo.com is indevelopment of an '07+ mount as well. This would be the best solution if it will fit Widescreen Garmins. For 30 bucks, i would say it would be the best. Contact them as to when the mount will be ready

yes, the new mount will fit the widescreen Nuvi and the standard width versions as we have made it adjustable. Hope you guys will like it.

Timing, should be just a couple of weeks away as the shop is working on them now.

If you want to be one of the first ones out the door, contact us and you will be put on the interested party list.
