Nav mounted in ashtray opening

[NickT88LSC]

I got a Magellan Navigation for valentine's day, so I mounted it where the ashtray goes so hopefully not as much of an atraction to get stolen, and keep the interior neat. I have to finish a little, what do you guys think?? Camera pic, so not the best

Looks pretty clean to me. Nice work.

 

[Bildabo]

Thats slick, I like it!

 

[NYC LS8]

Good job, cheesy!

 

[RANDO CAMMANDO]

I like it

 

[ToddG]

Kudos! Great job! Can you see the display clearly from the driver's seat?

 

[glanga]

How does it get a signal? Remote antenna?

 

[gt95coupe]

That is a GREAT location if you can see it in all times of the day. Good job

BUMP on cleanliness!

 

[HyeLifeLS]

Looks nice, but what about the ashtray???

 

[KD00LS]

Looks like a clean install, maybe center it a tiny bit.

Can see it and hear it fine, I should have turned it on for the picture, I will try another shot

I guess it is built into the unit, I turned it on inside my home and it located me

Ashtray is useless for a non smoker

 

[glanga]

Nice...usually they are line of sight. Looks really good. Probably going to be a benchmark for others who want nav and want it look clean without get an Avic.

Yea, that is some of the fiddling I gotta due, this was a prefit, now gotta finalize it

What About The Power From The Lighter And How Would Charge Your Cell Phones??? Other Than That Nice Work

 

[rickztahone]

ext temperature 31? that's a lot colder than it's ever been here i think, and yours is a day shot, i'd hate to see the night temp

 

[pektel]

31 is considered WARM this time of year where i'm at. Once it gets to 30, I can go out and work on the car!

Some more of the fidiling I have to do, I am going to relocate the cig lighter, not sure where yet, have not put a lot of thought into where yet. For now I have the one in the rear of the center console to get power for stuff

 

[pektel]

mount it inside the console... better yet, just put an outlet in the console

 

[02V8Sport]

cool idea!

 

[eastcoastLS]

Great install, makes me consider one.
Since we are on the topic of ashtrays, does anyone know if the Gen2 ashtray unit will fit in the Gen1's location of the ashtray?

 

[NateRW21]

03+ have a power supply in the center console

I thought about doing that with my jvc nav unit, then I just decided to put in a double din Eclipse with nav and dvd player all in one.
