Ok, this started as my wife's idea to put this where it ended up. I'm glad she thought of it. What I did was take the cover for the rearview mirror screws off, and drill a 5/8" hole (had to round it out alittle bit more). The I took the bracket that came with the Tomtom, and sawed it off right in front of the suction cup part(actually I did that first). Anyway, I put the together, and sprayed some glue on the back of it.
and inside the cruiser
The other nice thing is you really can't see it from the outside, other that the wire hanging down but that will disappear this weekend

Wish List: To much to list....
looks clean, but is it sturdy? seems like a hard jolt may cause the gps to break off at the mount.
also, how's the line of sight as far as looking at the gps and still keeping an eye on the road? looks like it angles too far away versus an in dash or on the dash setup.

Very sturdy to the point when I try to take the unit from the mount, it pulls the rearview mirror cover off. It's easy to read and operate there too, I thought that was going to be a problem as well, but it's not.
Here is my 8 dollar GPS solution. I don't know if any one else has done this, but I installed a radio shack 12V plug in the top glove box and I just set my Tom Tom 710 in it. It fits well and doesn't slide. I only issue is that it will not close with the unit in it.
