I thought of using a "swinging trap" door (press a button and the GPA swings up out of the dash) to mount my Garmin in the ashtray area. I'm not sure if there is enough room below the dash for the GPS to sit for storage. In that way, the GPS can be ready for use, but still "somewhat" secure from being pilfered.
My other thought would be to relocate the heater controls down to the radio area in the yoke, and to place a swing out/up DVD Player/GPS in the middle of the dash, as with this unit on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/JENSEN-VM9414-7-IN-DASH-POP-UP-NAVIGATION-DVD-RECEIVER-/ 350372042590?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0#ht_5091wt_1137 or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1-DIN-7-Touch-Screen-Car-DVD-Player-Built-in- GPS-MAP-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ270619002127QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo#ht_7482 wt_1165 I'm still working out the rear and top clearances for such an installation in my Spit Six project before I make a commitment. Any thoughts?
