Question On Custom Install For GPS

[01MaroIL]

My question is what would be involved to put a GPS system into the air vents in the center of the car. The ones above the stereo.

I have a GPS system that, at firtst glance no measurements, would fit like a glove.

Now what would have to be done to hook it up to the car battery through the heating duct?

How much would a place charge for an install like that?

Thanks guys.

no to much work, I had my XM mounted there for a while, then got tired of not having enough air coming through....so you might wanna rethink it, but if you still wanna go through with it, try using the bracket it came with, take the bezel off, pop out one of the vents, (just push from the back) and basically look for your options, if that gps has a mounting bracket that sits flush against the unit with some mounting holes in it or something, I would get a small peice of angle iron, and screw it down to the bezel, just run the power back through that vent and down to your radio...I wanna say its the yellow wire that comes on with ignition and RAP, check it with a test light and you got your mount. Or theres a place that makes custom mounts that would make it sit right off to the side of your main bezel...basically accepts any kind of unit XM radio, GPS, etc. I have one in the hoe' that my magellan is sitting on. Sorry I dont have a website for you but check into it.
