that is a matter for great debate it could seem. Do you have any reason why you wouldn't want to hard wire the power cord rather than being stuck using the 12v outlet?

I know you are new, so thought I would post some links.
Others will tell you to use the Search button up top...which you can do  http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...t=mounting+GPS http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...t=mounting+GPS http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...t=mounting+GPS http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...79&postcount=4 You can also search for 12v outlet and probably find the links where others have mounted a hidden 12v power outlet to plug in their GPS or mp3 players for a cleaner and stealth look. Perhaps that would meet your requirement for using the stock power cord and be hidden? Check out the links I posted in a response below: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...31&postcount=8 Let us know what you come up with, especially if it is different than these.
