hmm.. well not a vent mount.. but this is what i have for my 850



i got a panavise in dash mount that goes between where the radio is and the trim piece.. it turns at a right angle then i got a garmin ball mount that mounts to the 4 holes in the universal mounts to mount to the panavise piece

looks like a cool setup......But I really want to take avoid taking dash apart.......I know there are simple vent mounts out there........But will they work on XB? really don't use GPS that much........I use a beanbag now............But that 260Wide kinda blocks everything........Don't want on top of dash

taking the trim off the radio is easy.. literally takes less than 5 seconds.. you just grab and pull until it pops loose.. and if you have the factory radio in the mount is really easy to put on the side of it

there's a vent mount.. and less than $10 if you want to try it.. but i don't know if it will work with our vents

Even tho some people on here think the site is worthless, here's an excellent write-up from NewscionxB.com on getting most of the front interior panels off. With pictures!
