Wiring to exit at vent???
Alright..I am going to mount a GPS using the pro clip, that mounts over the center upper vent. I want a clean install, so I was wondering if there is a way to get the wires to exit out of the corner of the vent? Anyone try anything like this before? If this won't work, I am looking for any other ideas to hide the wiring as much as possible!
Thanks guys!!!!

I will prolly go with the Tomtom Go700 (About $900, http://www.tomtom.com/products/produ...=77&Language=4). One main reason, is that you can get a hardwire package with it, that will automatically mute the front speakers for the audio voice directions. Seems like a slick setup. You can get other ones MUCH cheaper though...

I have mine out there but I didn't go "through" the vent. The gap between the vent and the windsheild is very easy to tuck wires into it and they stay there pretty well. You run them over to the edge, down behind the trim, and loop them under the dash.
My main GPS antenna is mounted on the roof under a "radome" with a through-hole mount (in other words, I drilled the roof). However, I have two "spare" GPS antennas on the dash at the base of the windsheild (one for 3 volt, and one for 5 volt systems -- the 5 volt one has a lot more gain) so I have alternates for any GPS. Two different connector styles also.
So, you may be able to do something nice without even going through the vent.
