I bought the TL 2K without the Acura's NAVI. Since I already owned a moving map display (Garmin Color Street Map) I thought i could install it in the car but didn't want to glue the GPS clip to the dash. I figured why not getting a spare CD tray and modifying it to add the GPS clip. Here are the results. What do you think ? Only cost me 18 dolars :mhihi:

Forgot to show the modified tray....:blush:

hey that's a nice setup...the only thing is the access to the ac/heat.

my friend put his garmin on the top of the dash of his Rover...uses some kind of sandbag or something that came with it.

good thinking on using the cd tray.

Actually, the control are still accessible..... Since I leave everything in Auto, all works out fine

Looks nice! Love the price point!

I have a Delorme Earthmate for my laptop that I almost always have with me. Bigger screen than most of the other GPS products, and cheap.

I also made an interface cable for the laptop.. using the rs232 port.. You can see the hook ups on top of the unit... it actually works great when interfaced with the Microsoft's Street Map or Map Point software... Not sure if that make me cheap but didnt pay for those either....

How big is the screen on that?

The screen is approx 4 inches wide. You have the whole continent for maps and can also purchase the map for nearly the whole world. I wont wont my unit at a Garmin conference -)
