I got my father in law a Garmin Nuvi 760 for his birthday in the summer, and now he has just changed his car to a 6,000 mile Volvo S60.

For Christmas I woul dlike to get his Garmin hard wored in, with something thats looks neat and tidy, but I am having real trouble in finding anywhere to do it,

Are there kits about that I can use?

Cheers all

You can only get that if you buy another sat nav.

Ah didn't know that, and they won't sell the parts?
How much is the complete kit with satnav then, including fitting?

That holder looks rather clumsy - and where are the power and TMC cables?

The satnav is mounted on a speaker panel, the power and TMS cables are wired in beneath that panel.

Market price of a 760 is ~£180?

So Volvo want £520 to supply and fit a bracket and connect two wires. ffs!!

I sympathise with the OP now I know it's impossible to get the kit separately, just thought it would be case of ordering the parts.

Unless the £700 comes from the fact that maybe you also have an upgraded sound system? That speaker does not come with the standard setup.

I'd double check the price, I'm sure my local dealer quoted more like £450
