Garmin and VW show “click and ride”
May 23, 2009 garmin, gps navigation
Garmin and V-Dub just recently announced their “click and ride” integration solution which lets you get rid of your windshield suction cup and power cable.
The integration kit is simply a glued on power port that lets you easily mount and unmount a Garmin Nuvi 7×5 series GPS navigation system which has a 4.3″ touch screen, text-to-speech, traffic updates, and an SD card slot.
In the workshop of your Volkswagen Partner, the integration kit is positioned on the dashboard to the left (for right-hand drive vehicles: to the right) next to the steering wheel and glued in place. Advantage: if you are switching to another car, the integration kit can be removed and reused without leaving any visible traces. Fitting of the kit should always be carried out in the workshop by a specialist who will connect the system to the radio and route the cables under the dashboard.
We prefer the BMW and Garmin solution better but any integration is better than no integration.

I beg your pardon, but calling this as an integration is a quite a bold overstating. Even on the picture are cables behind the mount. I’d say most average car pimper would do the same within two hours, including the proper hiding of the cables.
