Does this exist?

I'm after a satnav with a powered mount (so I can do a more permanent install of the mount and power) and ideally bluetooth hands free capability.

Smartphone link for traffic would also be great.

TomTom do smartphone link for traffic, but then you can't also get hands-free phone, and all their satnavs require a power lead to the nav unit.

It's for a 2010 Z4; after years of hiding it away and then putting it on the screen and having to plug the wire in etc, I'm after a simpler way - especially as I use the nav pretty much every time i'm in the car.

Would something like this Garmin do?

It has a mount you can leave on the windscreen and hardwire it in somewhere. Lifetime traffic etc and bluetooth handsfree.

I just saw the image of the "magnetic" powered mount on the Garmin site.

Lots of pics of it here which may help.
