The florist foam is snug fit to the cubby cavity and the GPS attaches to the foam with velcro. This allows me to switch the GPS between cars. I tapped the passenger 12VDC socket with a 12VDC extension from which I cut the plug end. The GPS power cord is plugged and taped to the extension socket (so that it can't back out). The extension and GPS power cord is then crammed up under the dash.
CharlieFoxtro you are a genius. You should make this into a kit and sell it on-line. I would be the first to buy one. I am serious. I am using a TomTom XXL540S which has a slightly bigger screen (5 inches as oppsed to the Nuvi 4.3). Do you think you are willing to make one for me and mail it. I will pay you for your time, materials, and shipping expenses. Let me know.
