Bought my 2005 CTS about a month ago and absolutely love it! I was wondering if anyone on here has found a clever place to mount an aftermarket nav. I have a Garmin 200W and I was hoping someone has found a great place to mount it besides the windshield. Pictures would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Examples of where to mount Garmin Nav?

I have a 200W (Nuvi) as well. I've always mounted it using the suction cup mount at the lower left corner of the windshield. It doesn't block my view at all and is very easy to see as it's just to the left of where I'd look for the gauges anyway. I'll snap a quick pic if I get a moment tomorrow.
I have the garmin 750 and mount it on top of the center dash on the metal disc that came with it. Works great and easy to remove.
i bent a coat hanger, sticks slightly into the disk opening, bends up, velcro on it, and on the back of the garmin, looks like it is built in, works great, good luck,
i have the garmin 265WT and i mount it beside the mirror on the windshield to the right side of it. its out of the way doesnt block any blind spots and easy to see, its just like looking where your mirror is.
when i first got it i had no idea where to put it, i was going to put it in the bottom left corner of the windshield but i didnt like it there and i thought it may fall out of the window if it pops off somehow.

Look at where my Treo is mounted, it has the Garmain software and is a perfect location and is out of the way. It's also a good location to have the phone so when the music is so loud that you can't hear the ringer, you can see the phone light up.
I have since replaced the phone with a Treo Pro but it sits in the same holder.

Sammy Z, could you please tell me the mount you used and how you mounted it?

i was thinking about putting a GPS in the same spot as you Sammy but was afraid it may stick out too far and interfere with steering... though i was thinking i would just machine a lower profile aluminum mounting bracket if it was a problem... still need the GPS before i worry about it :thumbsup:
I have a Pro Clip mount for my IPhone mounted in the vent next to the drivers door. Easy to reach and don't block drivers view.
Item No. 803311 - ProClip Left mount

When i purchased the Garmin software, it came with a dash holder for the Treo. I just used the front part of it and used 2 screws into the side of the dash, when I sell the car, I'll remove it and cover the screw holes with black tape.

I have a garmin as well i have mine on my passenger air vent(one by center console). It's a great spot for only you to see and not everyone around you. You can also hide the car charger by tucking it under the center console, and arm rest. I'll up pics to show you
