Mobile Phone / Satnav Mounting Positions

[AJs Cerbie]

Newbie Chimeara owner here and using the car as daily my commute.

My query is regarding current owners who have mounted handsfree car kits and satnavs, mine are iPhone and Garmin Nuvi respectively and I already have the kits ready to install from last car.

I've bought some Dashmount generic brackets but am undecided best place to fit both without ruining the full leather interior.

Any advice or photos of similar installations / best place to put in a Chim would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Planning on putting a Sat Nav Power supply into my Chim.

Going to remove the dash and see if I can find somewhere to hardwire a power supply there. Then use the usual glass mounting sucker system so it can be easily removed.

If you're thinking of installing the mount more permenantly, maybe it is possible to adapt the mount to come through the dash, so not damaging the leather.

Yes,

I was planning on a permanent solution and to hard wire both in as my previous setup.

Was hoping current Chimaera owners may have already installed various devices in current cars and was intrigued to see exactly where others have fitted any gismos.

Will give it a go this weekend and see.

Having tried both the centre of the screen and tucked into the R/H corner I found the second option to be better. Mine was fed from either the socket in the door or an additional socket which I installed under the passenger side dash. I have recently fitted a new head unit with Garmin SatNav which does away with the problem.
