20lgt06 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 unlike a few on here im not intrested in flush mounting or doing any custom work, easy install without hacking your cubby. The circle plate for the suction cup was applied inside the cubby with the rubber mat removed ( and the mat fits fine with the suction cup mount removed) remove cubby remove radio ran the wires for the car charger and aux cable from the arm rest to the cubby holder. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/20wrx02/IMG00068.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/20wrx02/IMG00069-1.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/20wrx02/IMG00067.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/20wrx02/IMG00070.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/20wrx02/IMG00066.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sooberoo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Looks good, congratulations on your install. So am I correct in assuming that you no longer have a cubby? If so why not fabricate the bracket (or make a new one) that would stick the GPS out a little further and then reinstall the cubby (with a large enough hole for the connectors to thread through)? That way you could still retain the use of the cubby for storage of your GPS when not in use! I did a similar thing for a Sirius radio on my old 98 outback. Fabricated a bracket from an old equalizer mounting bracket, threaded the wires through the cubby pocket and voila! I was good to go. Lots of passengers commented on how good the install looked and it was surprisingly sturdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 that's a good idea, I figured my cubby was always full of junk, so I could do without it, others may want to go that route though [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

fishbone Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Wow, what a coincidence, I was just looking for a thread like this. Last night I pulled my cubby out, removed the door and installed my Nuvi 650. It's too large to fit inside with the door in place and if I do keep it, it sticks out too much and it looks rather awkward. What do you guys think? I'm running into a problem. Even though I removed the rubber mat, the suction cup still won't stick. I don't want to use any permanent solutions, can you guys think of anything I could use to make it stick? The only thing I don't like about this set-up is all that empty space behind the GPS especially the gap where the door would open into. Did anyone else have any trouble putting the cubby back into place? On mine, the clips wouldn't catch, it was as if I was trying to squeeze a piece too large for the hole. I fiddled with it and finally forced it in place but I'm affraid to do it all again as to not crack the plastic frame and then end up with clips with no surface to attach to. Is there a certain procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobie Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yup, trying to get a hold of one of those myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I was also going to get one of those, it's a great item and cheap. Didn't your Nuvi come with a disc? Mine came with basically a circle of plastic with double sided tape on one side. I stuck that to the bottom of the cubby and suction mounted to it. It could be removed if need be.
