Has anyone Installed a Garmin 850 in their Ridgeline
Just bought a Garmin 850 and I was wondering if anyone has come up with a slick install. I see thats theres lots of clips/adapters etc. I'm looking to see what other Ridgeline owners have used to install. Thanks for your assistance

Re: Has anyone Installed a Garmin 850 in their Ridgeline
I have the Nuvi 780 that stays primarily in my ridge. I periodically move it to my sedan so I needed a mounting method that would be easy to change. I mounted the unit next to my A-pillar;
 ...and ran the cord down the side of my dash (you can tuck it in the rubber seal along the side of the dash)  I then tuck the cord under the dash and over a bracket to keep it from hanging:  and plug it in to the left power outlet:  It takes about 30 seconds to install but keeps the wire neat while it's in.

1. The Vehicle mount (clips and adhesive taped to dash between vent and radio) 2. The Extension plate (raise the gps so I have clear access to the radio dials) 3. The Device (ball) mount (attaches the nuvi to the vehicle mount) I like Proclip because it is well designed, manufactured and of quality material (but it is pricey). I found another vendor for the Device mount that was about $25 less expensive if you pursue this option. Good Luck!

Re: Has anyone Installed a Garmin 850 in their Ridgeline
I mounted my Garmin in the similar space but I hard wired mine using the following cable. This lets me still use the original cable in another vehicle if I want.
