7" Garmin GPS Integrated into Dash

thezone135i · 10-08-2016, 11:22 PM

I bought a gps holder tray thingo that replaces the ugly push button storage bin in the centre of the dash and integrated a 7" Garmin directly into it. Thanks to vtl for cutting and gluing the suction bracket, cutting the oem cable and taping into the fuse box (pretty much everything - although I did hold some wires while he soldered them). Couldn't be happier it looks fully integrated like am oem one from inside and out! Thanks Vincent!

Thanks. No more GPS dropping off the window when its hot, no more ugly cables strewn about the cabin!

Looks great. Did you get just the GPS tray, or is this the full bmw GPS kit and where did you get the parts?
