dare say its been done but has anyone fitted a sat nav into the cubby hole on top of the dash  etc ?

I have.

It was with Velcro attachments to allow easy removal. Others have attached power to that location too.

nice one thank you mate 

So this is what I made a few years back. It work for me. I took a power feed from the fusebox and fed it up to the cubby hole and attached a cigar lighter socket to the end. Out of this is a dual USB adapter.

I also ran a lead to run an MP3 player too.  The top plate was made from thick Plasticard from a model shop with a stiffener bit glued below. Suction cup mount stuck on top.

 

Pics explain it all.

It just pops out. Carefully lever all around it then lift it up from the front edge.  I found this trim tool set very useful for all parts of the car:
