Show your aftermarket navigation setup

[Matsweeper]

Hey guys, if you op'd out for navigation package and currently use an aftermarket navigation system like tom-tom or garmin, post pics of your set up. Where it's located (vent, docked on the window, next to the iMid, etc.) This will give many ideas of what navi brand, size and setup to consider when buying an aftermarket navigation system.

TomTom XXL540s WTE mounted on TT beanbag mount laying in tray in front of shifter of our '12Si. It's out of the way and works great.

I've been working on a semi-permanent solution to install a Garmin 3490LMT to my 2013 Si sedan dash. The 3490 is a high resolution screen and I grew to love it when it was mounted in a BMW 128i that I had before I bought the Si. I had installed a BMW OEM bracket that placed the Garmin on the right side of the binnacle (speedometer-tachometer compartment). That put it at the correct height so I could see and touch the Garmin without blocking the line of sight of the windshield. This made me want to put the Garmin in approximately the same place in the Si. I bought an aluminum bar at Home Depot and fabricated a simple angled bracket that approximates the curve of the dash on the top right side of the lower tier. I put down velcro on the dash and bottom of the bracket to attach the bracket to the dash. I cut a garmin ball adapter to keep the profile low, the attached the ball using nuts and bolts. I will be routing the power cable into a very small concealed hole once the weather improves as it is very cold here in upstate NY right now.

I will post a picture or two of the customized bracket on the dash shortly. I haven't painted the bracket yet it, but am considering painting it black.

So here we go. This is what I've done so far. I'm not sure that I really wanted the Honda Navigation system.



I'm still working on this but this is the first test fit. The power cable you see is not the one that will be used permanently. That is my cell phone power cable. The Garmin's power cable has the HD traffic and will be plugged into the dock and not directly into the 3490LMT.

I'm still considering if I will paint the bracket black. I'll probably re-position the bracket a little further back on the velcro. I think it is perfectly positioned vertically so I can keep looking at the road while using it.

I also have a couple of 3590LMT units (five inch screens) that I have in other cars. I'm gonna test fit them as well.
