How do you utilize the extra glove compartment? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Inspired by PYM's setup, I just finished mounting my Ultra-Gauge and Garmin Nuvi 250 in my drivers side glove box on a small rectangle of bent plexiglass.

At the proper angle and with the GPS on the left side (to avoid the hinge) I am able to close the lid without modification, I simply chased the wires out the front along the the steering wheel column and behind the drop panel where my key less entry module is located. Out of sight with the lid closed.

I don't use the GPS that much so when not in use I simply coil the wire up behind the Plexiglass mount.

As a side note for anybody wanting to mount anything here, I used Scotch All Weather Fasteners, applied to the plexi and the units.

These are not Velcro/hook and loop, they are in fact hook and hook and really "lock" the units to the mount. There is no "play" whatsoever like one would usually get with standard Velcro.

Cheers
