GPS

Post by maskeet »

I just got a garmin nuvi 265T GPS and i want to install it in my 2009 focus. i was wondering if anyone had ideas for where to mount the stand?

one idea i had is having the stand come out of an blank button that is next to the passenger airbag on\off light. does anyone kno how to pop those out??

here is the link to a pic:

you can buy a vent mount and mount it in front of one of the vents. be sure to get one that has the spring clip.
