I currently have a double din clarion without a nav in it so I was thinking about mounting my TomTom into the arm rest right below the shifter. Heres an edited picture to get an idea where and what it would look like. Thanks.

I think it would be pretty cool. Easy access to it and all the wiring for a hardwire is right there. I don't know how great an idea it is to have to look away from the road that far though.
What are those little circles supposed to be?

So ive decided to mount it under the dash at top with a mechanisim to lift it and lower it upon button push probably mounted to the left of the steering wheel where there are empty slots for buttons and such.

I've just mounted mine with the standard windshield mount at the lower left hand corner (left-hand drive car). I ran the power cable behind the dash to the center console under the ashtray. I just wired in a second 12v outlet off of the 12v outlet next to the ashtray behind the scenes (pick up an outlet at radioshack) and tucked it all away neat and clean.
