Anybody have one, or any pictures of one? I'm considering getting a GPS and I'm not sure what to get. I really don't want to mount one on my dash - that's like having a neon "steal me" sign. Im considering an in-dash mounted GPS from Best Buy, but I'm not sure it's possible with the G6 stock radio. Did any of you get the GPS with your car? If so, how does it mount?

are you considering a flip-out style GPS system? Or just the screen that fits in where the stock radio was?

Yeah, that's pretty much what I had in mind. But it has me a bit concerned. From the looks of it, did you have to completely remove the radio and replace it with the GPS? Or is the GPS in front of the radio and folds down if you need to use it? What was the cost of the GPS and how hard was it to install?

I was looking at some smaller GPS's at Best Buy, and I am considering an alternative. With the mounting bracket, I should be able to mount it by the little opening in the dash just to the left of the shifter. With the extending swivel mount, I should be able to adjust it to make viewing it easy enough. But then I'll need to find a place to mount an MP3 player I'm thinking of buying. But I guess if I get an MP3 player, I really wouldn't need the CD changer anyway, so I could go with the in-dash.

Yeah for what you're looking to do you'd be a whole lot better off getting a double din aftermarket unit with nav, dvd, mp3, most have ipod interfaces, xm radio etc... Grantit you loose your DIC but it will look better than having a fuster cluck or things roaming around your interior at least that my opinion on it!Originally posted by ToyzOriginally posted by simplyredwhat do you guys think about switching up the teams again?!

I have a portable one with a large screen. If i go on trips My gf usually is the one using it. I have a vent mount that i put it on so i can see while i'me driving. Plus i can remove it so no one can steal it, its not a permanant fixture and i can take it when i go hiking or fishing.
It really literally saved my life last winter to have it with the topo maps. Icey roads through the mountains with no shoulders, you can really know what's ahead without really needing to break.
If you get it, get Garmin, they are really good at this kind of stuff. Also watch the antennae make sure it has a helix antennae or better, the in-chip ones don't go through the roof of certain cars too well.Canadian 2006 G6 GT Coupe, Black Leather, 8-spkr Monsoon, 17" chrome rims, SolarGuard HP Charcoal 22%, Trunk protector & roll carpet, Silver tire valve covers and a driver with a .
