This one:- Sat Nav Mounting maybe?

Contemplating one of these - anybody got one, any good?

Key thing to check is where to power supply socket is, if you want to put the Nav in the dash top box, I keep mine there, then you MUST have a power in on the side (preferably to the top of the side so it the lead will not catch on the side of the box and tip the Nav), NOT top or bottom as it will not sit square.

I simply have a piece of non-slip rubbery mesh in the bottom of the box and a similar loose piece placed on top of the Nav and held in place by friction with the box lid.

Will it fit - simply measure the width of the box and the width of the Nav you want, taking into account where the power in lead will sit.

I fitted TomTom adhesive disc which allows the windscreen suction mount to be fixed to the top of dash top pop up box and have no problems. The box lid still opens and closes freely
