Garmin Nuvi 760T cubby installation

[Kirpeknots]

I just got my '07 Legacy 2.0R an got inspired by the 660 cubby topic. I am using a Garmin Nuvi 760T. This model of garming has Bluetooth, FM transmitter, all European maps.

I'm from The Netherlands (West Europe) so I guess my car has a different spec than most of the people on this forum.

Picture of my Legacy with my former car (Rover 45 2005) next to it.

 

I asked my dealer what an extra cubby/ventsurround would cost me. He grabbed in a box and gave me one for free.

 

First I dismounted the cubby from the ventsurround.

 

I decided to use MDF for the navigation pannel. I'm using a cover from a winecrate for the sides.

I hacked the MDF and the winecrate wood and glued it together.

After I finished that I modified the clock print so It'l give me the - and switched +. I mounted an cigarette lighter connector to the -/switched+ from the clock.

I glued two extra blocks of MDF on the rear side to keep the Nuvi centered.

 

Drilled a hole for the bluetooth hands-free mic too.

I just gave it the first black layer of paint.

 

I would like to change the Garmin boot logo for a Subaru logo. Help on that one would be appreciated.
