Default Garmin GPS 3.5" Cubby Install

Hey guys Im quite new to the forum and have noticed many people decided to put a GPS in there cubby. I decided to give it a shot, but seeing as how I didn't want to purchase a new GPS I used a 3.5" Garmin 350 I had lying around. I've seen most people install a 4.3" or 7" but since my GPS worked fine I figured to just throw that in. Anyways I think the install came out pretty well <b>let me know what you guys think</b>. Also I have an 05 Z and the cubby door closes with no issues.

The headunits navi was an option for an extra $400. Wasnt worth it for me. The unit claims "navigation ready" but to get the nav software and extra peices for the navi it would cost extra. <b>Plus every one that knows anything about cars knows the extra screen adds 10hp... no? JJ LOL</b>

SNTZ33,

Your pictures are pretty much useless. I'm not sure what you are attempting to show us. Many members here have successfully installed the small Garmin GPS devices, and sometimes with a different/unique twist.
