Mounting Garmin i5
Does anyone have pics of where they mounted theirs ? and is there any sites that sell diferent mounts maybe a cig adapter holder for them ?. Or would it not get a good signal that low in the car ?
i dont have a pic, but i just used the suction cup in the middle of the windshield. The ford i ran straight through the dash to the plug next to the shifter. dont use the stupid disk it comes with to mount it on the dash, it wont stay
My Garmin Nuvi gets signal just fine in that area. It is almost the perfect size so that I can just wedge it in there. The antenna is actually folds out 90 degrees to the unit, so I keep it in that small area, as well. It always takes a couple minutes to find sats if I haven't used it in a couple days, but then it works very reliably.
I find the suction cup mount to be very unreliable, and have already had it fall 3 times, even after cleaning the windshield + cup with alcohol and letting it dry. If it works for you, however, then good luck.

In Cali and Minnesota, it's illegal to put them on your windshield, just an FYI.
I'd never have cared until I got a lame-___ ticket for tint...
I have a Nüvi 660 and use the black puck on the dash and it doesn't ruin the look, IMO.
