Power supply and location for GPS device brain?

[boggie]

Hi All,

I plan to fit a GPS 'Accident Blackspot' detector this weekend. The kit consists of four components:

A display unit
The Brain
A GPS Aerial
A laser detector

The GPS aerial can be mounted either at the front of the dash under the bottom centre of the screen or under the bottom edge of the rear screen. The display I plan to tuck on the far RHS of the dash, just in front of the tweater grille. The Laser detector will sit at the bottom centre on the front screen.

The brain can go anywhere. All I need is about a mobile phone sized space with earth, +12V and an IGN supply as well as easy routes to the other components. Any help where would be best to site the brain would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
B

That'll be 05 CV8 - only 2 models of CV8 - the 04 - big boot, no nostrils and the 05, shoebox and nostrils.
As for the brain, how about the secret box in the centre console?

Shoebox and nostrils here! What's this about a secret box? Is there power too?

Thanks

bottom of centre console, under the stere assume its an ashtray in some countries, but just looks like trim fron the outside. nice and deep, but you'd have to feed power in fron the stereo - there are stereo removal guide in the FAQS.
