Did some minor stuff to the saab. Bought a tomtom one and took it apart to fit in the ashtray, Just need to make a trim piece to cover up the exposed electronics. Also added HID’s as I have gotten so use to them on every car I own.

Sorry for the shitty pics, thank god I bought the gf a new camera for xmas

Neat idea…but aren’t those supposed to be sitting up high, like on the dashboard, so you can get a quick glance??? I’ve never used one…so I could be wrong with how necessary this is…but I’d think that low would be difficult to see.

Also, does your camera have a macro lens feature? Makes detailed shots like those come out crisper.

Not really a poor place for it, tomtom uses voice guidance so I never have to look down at it. As for the fitment, the camera does make it look rather shitty but it does sit flush and the only thing i debated was painting the trip on the screen to match the ashtray itself…will take a more clear pic tomorrow when its bright out.

no boooo, i was sick of looking after two months of searching so i got a linear with the painted bottom lip instead of that gross unpainted one. It was one of the few dealers that would offer me cpo on a 03 or 04
