I use either the suction cup or friction mount both work just fine.

All the way to the bottom?

I saw one z use the circle that comes with the gps stick that inside the cubby and place the suction cup on that.

Just mounted my nuvi in the cubby and will post pictures today or tomorrow. I basically took the adhesive disc that comes with nuvi, used epoxy to glue it cleanly to the rear wall of the cubby (the adhesive didn't stick) and have a suction arm I got at Best Buy that will allow it to extend/move around and still let me close the cubby when done. Very clean, seems very sturdy, now I just need to run the wires under the dash.

I also got the Garmin 1300T which has the USB cable plugged into the BACK of the unit, which makes things a lot cleaner as well.

Update: Now with photos. I really like this implementation. I only have left to tuck the wires inside of the console. I'll likely do that next weekend, just need one of those tools to wedge up the pieces.

So just curious though.. why couldn't you put the suction cup on the windsheid? I don't think it would damage your tint, as long as the cup part is clean I'd think it should be ok.

yah, modshack's latest hidaway bracket is cool.

this is my version following his design... the bracket folds inside the cubby while car is not in use.




here's my G. i just bought a ARKON (sp?) cigarette lighter adapter bracket. i tightend down the G's socket a little bit and added a 0.8mm plastic on the plug to keep it nice and tight while in the socket. works great with my 205W as it turns on/off with the ignition.

go to a hobby store and look for some brass colored alloy sheet metal. they are already cut in like 1/2" and 3/4" widths so easy to use. i happened to have some brackets laying around from a jcw intake install i did a while ago so use that. i was thinking about painting it black but since the metal matched the color of the satin trim so i steel wooled it until a nice brushed look and i just left it as is.

as for the mount itself, i just cut off the suction cup off the mount that came with my GPS unit, drilled 4 holes into the base to hold it in place using small tapping screws. thing is very solid.

i use the circle thing that came with the gps and mount it between the gauges and the steering wheel.

Note, the Garmin Nuvi 1300T cable has an integrated FM traffic receiver built into it so running the cable is a real issue. Hide it to much and reception is lost!. The cable needs to be out in the open. While a Garmin 1690 does not have a widescreen - 480 x 272 - color display it is a terrific, new Garmin offering that would have been a better choice for your Z. See Garmin 1690 and it's features.

Personally, I would not opt to have placement of a GPS that requires one to leave a cubby open. Sure if you rarely use the GPS but who wants to be driving around with the cubby open fulltime. Finally, the suction cup mount Garmin using the disc that you glued inside your cubby is notorious for the suction cup letting loose from the disc intermittently for various reasons. A real pain often.

Look here 370Z vehicle for your Garmin GPS

Consider returning your 1300T and going with a 1690.
