"Stupid" stuff you admit to considering for your Bird/Cat/Mark/etc. (LONG post)

Stupid, maybe not so stupid...

I thought it would be cool to have a mount for a small GPS unit where the digital clock in between the air vents is, complete with charger so you could remove the unit if you wanted.

Planned on the same thing, I thought it would be cool. I want to make a bracket that attavhes to the stock clock bracket, then gets a gps mount attached to it, that would be flush with the face of the dash, then the gps would attach to that, and appear to be part of the dash.

The only problem was that it would have to have an auto on/off feature tied into the cars accessory switch, and some units don't have that ability.

I used to have a little 3.5" unit that would have been perfect....

I think I'm gonna experiment with this. I've got an extra...Idk what to call it. It's got the vents and the cutouts for the clock and speedometer, like we were talking about.

I'll do some measurements and we'll see what happens. But first, gotta locate my GPS....(irony).

Hey vinnie our cars were made right from the factory. They really don't need anything extra back there cluttering up all the space. Its just overkill. In fact, I think you should just take everything off. Yeah thats it go with the smooth look.:flame:









Ok. Smart-assing aside, thats a pretty cool idea. I'd like to see it.
