I HAVE! I have since day one. A Garmin 275WT fits in perfectly with it's windsheild suction bracket mounted to the machine. It "wedges" in the cubby, and doesn't move thanks to the rubber windshield suction mount's friction. You have to find a place to hide the wires though. I'll get you a pic if I have some free time.

I even have the screen tilted towards me. I love the setup. It's like Garmin and Nissan designed the cubby together. No drilling for me.

Oh, and it gets perfect satellite signals from inside the cubby as well, free FM traffic monitoring. I was thinking of buying a few of them now in case mine broke, or they change the dimensions.

I charge it with the power wire out the side of the cubby. It's the traffic antenna. It's really easy to pull in and out.

hmmm. dont they fall or move aroung while driving?? looks like there is a gap each side of the navigation.

And I thought it would be hard to see the navi since the cover is poped out. u know, it does not go in-ward when its opened, does it?
