Thanks for the feedback Jim! I just ordered the GPS!

 

I just did this mod as well. I used the phone plug to power the GPS so it turns on and off with the car.

The only problem I have is cutting the custom trip that goes below the GPS. What are the best tools to cut that ABS sheet? I thought it'd be much easier than it is. I've been using a dremel without much success...

 

a dremel should work, and then stick the trim direct on the BAT WING- the plug for the GPS goes in a bit so its perfect, the trim peace will be flush

 

look great to me, i love my bose system too i wish they had a gps like that that could take my ipod.

Where is the phone plug that you mentioned that you used to power the gps?

 

How well does it work down there...Isnt the antenna built into the unit? I would think the signal down there would be terrible.

 

Mine appears to work fine located there. I have not had a problem with losing the signal.

 

It works perfect, no problem with the signal, as for the the plug , you will connect it to the radio power, so the nav unit turns on and off with the car

 

looks like a clean install....

 

awesome, I'll have to try this out.

 

Those of you who have a Magellan GPS, how quickly does it pick up the satellite? I have a Garmin Nuvi 260 and it's very slow, especially if I don't have it attached to the windshield using the suction cup mount.

 

Looks awesome.

 

I did this mod and it looks great. The Magellin picks up the Satellite rocket fast almost as soon as it powers up. I have it programmed to go on and off with the key, day and night colors run on auto as well. Great mod for near next to nothing $$$

 

Its immediate, takes just a few seconds. this mod is one of the best mods i've done!
