Aim:

To Mount the GPS because mounting the GPS on ya front window is Dangerous!

Required:

A piece of paper and a pen
A Texta
Some Perspex
Drill and 2 or 3 small drill bits
4 screws
A File

Steps:

Since the GPS has a suction mount,we will need to use Perspex:



Find a suitable location to mount the GPS and make up a template from which you will use to trace and cut the perspex:



Make sure the GPS will fit on there:



Bunnings sell perspex for $30 a sheet (gotta buy the whole sheet).I used 3mm thick perspex.Trace and cut with a hacksaw:



Simply use a file to round the edges off and use a texta to mark the best spots for the screws:



Check it will fit again:



Drill em' out,use a small drill bit to start,to prevent the perspex from splitting,then finish up with a drill bit just a touch smaller than the screws so the screw just bite's and grabs the perspex a touch:





Next we're gonna drill into where wires maybe so remove the backup fuse.You can just disconnect the negative battery cable instead.Also make sure you turn the alarm off if you have one or it will start wailing!:





Use a small drill bit again and work up to one just a bit smaller then the screw:



Done!





Dont mind the door trims,just painting em':





Perfect.Removing CD's? No problem!



Make sure you Reset the ECU afterwards if you removed the back up fuse or the negative cable on the battery.

atm I'm using the power cord that plugs into the cigarette lighter,it's messy and ugly.I will wire the power cord up to a power source and post the results.
