| HA. Crovo....
Not bad. I'm thinking of doing something similar by putting a couple 12V outlets in my Blazer console.... |

| Cool.
I hide mine by removing it from the car when not in use. Which is about 360 days out of the year.
I take it you travel a lot? | |

Would like to find a flush mount panel, but having no luck. The plan so far is to put a 12v outlet inside the console and use a USB adapter that I got off of ebay. Then run the USB cables through grommets to power different items. I will run a long usb under the carpet in up the dash to the A pillar and put a short cord hanging there for the GPS. Hope that makes sense!! | |

| Nice work! I don't like dangling cables either.  I ran mine around the left side and mount the gps next to the a pillar. | |

- ripped apart the dash to hide the wire
just couldnt stand a wire hanging Now the only thing that doesn't look like it belongs there, and stands out like a sore thumb is the GPS unit. I have a blazer console that is designed to take a cassette deck which could be used for a radio, and then you could mount your GPS where the radio is. (Pics available my email) | |

| You could even mount a backup screen next to the GPS in the radio opening. There is room for a small one side by side with the GPS. It would fill the opening so that you do not need a lot of trim. If you have a backup camera, you could eliminate the rear view mirror, and have a clean window. | |

| That's my plan, Tim. Putting my Tom Tom in the stock ash tray, and relocating the 12v inputs to the console. Two or three of them. |
