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.
