TomTom XXL Navi Adapter / Bracket for Behind the Tachometer - Any Suggestions?

Hi Guys,

I own a TomTom XXL Navi. I was wondering if anyone could lead me on the right direction to purchasing the correct bracket or arm that will attach behind my Tachometer? Im hoping to have someone hard wire the unit in so I can still utilize my power element. Any Suggestions of various adapters that will work for the countryman?

Thanks !!

I found this to be really good.

Go to www.gominigo.com

This is a really sturdy bracket that goes on so easy a "Caveman " can do it.



It puts the GPS to the left of the Tach and works great.

Yes, but will it fit his new Countryman? The dash on those cars is completely different, tho the tach may be the same...

That's why I suggested he contact Craven Speed, they'll know.

Gominigo might know also, if you call them....

I didn't think the Countryman had any room behind the tach. Thought it was recessed?

I have the Craven Speed scissor mount for r56. I purchased it when I had my 08 Cooper and it fits on my Countryman. The tach is recessed but has a little room for the wheel adjustment and the mounts have an arm that is only about 2/8th of an inch thick.

Any chance you can post some pics??? I ordered the short arm and the long arm to be on the safe side...
