If you ever restart the project, I suggest you consider also doing a driver's side version for the V1. A lot more people have Valentines than nav systems, I'll bet; I for one have my V1 in exactly that spot, and would definitely prefer (and pay for) your solution.

 

This post just ruined my day.

I was really looking forward to this product.

 

That's too bad that you're having so much trouble. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, Rick.

 

this may a bit far away, but NCSU has a great mech. engineering department, and a lot of industry contacts.

It might be worth seeing if you can't set up some sort of senior project through them.

 

 

Can't you get someone else to engineer this thing? I bet you'd sell hundreds of them easy. The typical buyer is someone who has already dropped $400 for a V1 and over $500 for a GPS, I'm sure you could sell them for more than $200/ea. I'm sick of having all this crap on my windshield and I think it's even illegal in some states now to have stuff suctioned to your windshield.

 

I'm interested in a Garmin Nuvi mount as well, so bringing the thread back from the dead.

Also, if this project is a go in the near future, how would it accomodate the flip up antenna of the Nuvi, just wondering.

hey rick when i seen this on your car at mid winter gathering i thought it was the coolest thing ever...i really think you should do something like this...i think there's a ton of people interested...and its either this or paying someone to cut up your dash and then rape you cost wise afterwards.

 

almost 2 years since original post bump!



someone should start a list of interested buyers.

 

The project is dead;forget it,and yse suction cups on your garmin.!!!
