Good Morning, and a Very Pleasant Easter 2018 to all the members of this most excellent Forum.
I have read earlier posts regarding LOCATIONS OF SAT NAVS WHILST DRIVING.
I personally use the provided Garmin Suction Sticker and locate my Garmin Sat Nav attached to the top Right Hand Corner of the otherwise Useless info Screen of my Mk3 2017 Jazz CVT, This enables me to see the clock as well, the power lead provide was very long so I have used a spare one with coiled wire this just drops straight down to power socket and is very neat.
Also very easy and quick to remove and put out of sight of any scrotes that are around.
This I find is very secure, non vibrating, and just right to glance at whilst driving and of course close enough to read if needs be.
I do not use this infotainment screen for anything else, so it is perfect for this Garmin Sat Nav.
and when using German Auto Routes to and from Munich and Nuremberg on occasions.
It is just out of sight below dash board level so does not incur the interest of the authorities.
I have never so far lost Sat connections. No doubt I will receive some observations regarding this post and of course these will be read with interest.

I mount my Garmin to the quarter light. I find that is nearer to the eye driving line yet it doesn't obscure my view of the road.

I use a TomTom satnav. I had a Brodit mount from a previous car, it consists of a device mount and a vehicle mount. I modified the device mount with a piece of plastic used as a spacer so that it could be attached to the vertical divider between the centre dash vents with hot melt glue, this gives a solid mount and I detest a vibrating satnav. The TomTom clips to this vehicle mount. Brodit don't make a vehicle mount for the UK MK3 yet. The hot melt glue can be released with a drop of alcohol leaving no mark at trade in time.
This is the device mount I have used.

When reading this post I was very much aware of today's date! ;D
That said, it has crossed my mind to stick my sat nav to the infotainment screen - no seriously. I have one of those bean bag type mounts which fitted on the Mk2 dash very well but I can't find a suitable place on the Mk3 dash apart from the passenger side where I can hardly see it.
I am seriously looking for the following:
1) A scrote proof location.
2) A permanent location.
3) Some sort of cable management system - I hate the charge wire dangling all over the place.
Quite interested in Deeps' suggestion but I need better pictures.
-
In my link the part of the mount with holes has a spacer glued to its back the same height as the vent divider. This is glued to the divider, the satnav can be removed and replaced at will. A 1 metre USB cable (£1 in a £ shop) just reaches from the satnav to the power socket after being hooked around the steering columns adjuster lever.

reply to peteo48
Regarding your requirements of numbers 1.2.and 3
A scrote proof location.not sure if such a thing exists anymore must not upset the little darlings.
A permanent location could be as i suggested,I just hang my cap on it when vacating car most times.
Regarding Cable management I use a very short black curly cable power lead into power socket as this is directly below sat nav it merges into background and is virtually invisible.
Give it a go and see what you think.It works for me a treat.
visibilty spot on,no vibration,and if needs be a very quick removal.
My Flat cap disguises the sat nav quite well
-
Got the flat cap - just need the short and curlies :P
-
I have a mounting bracket that fixes to the air vents. I use my phone for sat nav. The bracket provides a convenient position without blocking the screen and also provides cooling for my phone.
-
In reply to Jaffa Jazz, I'm delighted he's found a use for the infotainment screen. I might just try it instead of mounting my Garmin suction pad to the sticky-backed disc I've fixed on top of the dash. However, my Garmin is so old, I think my Irish Tweed flat cap is of greater value.....

I use one of these dashboard mounts https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Dashboard-Magellan-Portable-Navigators/dp/B0051FWA7U (https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Dashboard-Magellan-Portable-Navigators/dp/B0051FWA7U). One advantage is that it's quick and easy to put the satnav plus mount out of sight in the driver's footwell when the vehicle is parked. When in use the satnav is on the dashboard left of the car centreline so it doesn't interfere with the driver's view.
-
I have tried one of the "bean bag" mounts, they are versatile but not being a rigid mount the satnav can vibrate. Not acceptable for me. Also you have to make sure the passenger airbag is not going to launch it should it deploy.
-
I have glued a circle of plastic to the top of the supplied cup/ashtray which fits in the RH cup holder.
The Sat Nav is then stuck to it with the normal suction mount.
The power cable is routed behind the steering wheel and down to the power socket.
This, I believe gives a tidy installation which looks part of the car.
The attached photo shows the general layout.

Mine is similar to this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Holder-AZALLY-Auto-Clamping-Samsung-Smartphone-Silver/dp/B0757JQ5PD/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1522663550&sr=1-5&keywords=air+vent+car+phone+holder). It fits on the right middle air vent. Out of the line of sight but easy to glance at.

I use my phone for navigation so use one of these in the driver’s side cup holder:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00YLREM2U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No need to do any gluing.

Interesting picture, my Mk3 looks different to that, I have a different arrangement of switches for the Cruise Control/Speed Limiter. Nor did I get a “supplied cup/ashtray”, I’ve been short-changed.
-
I hope that's not the 1.5 Sport model! ;-)
I can't put my satnav on the right cupholder although it fits and I can see it easily. The navigator / journey manager in the passenger seat can't see it.
-
My apologies, Colin B, the photo is actually from a previous Mk 2 Jazz, which did come with the cup, but the installation is identical.
-
Fit my Garmin on side window just above door mirror level, is easy to see and visible to front passenger, only thing is need to disable auto window down function as it can cause problem if you activate window down without removing sucker - can be awkward on toll roads when you pay - but not for me as I avoid toll roads like the plague.
Normally when you need to lower the window for carpark machine etc you have reached your destination anyway and no longer need satnav.

On my mk3 it looks like it might be difficult to put it on the dashboard as there does not appear to be any flat services and wondering whether it might slide around too much. Any suggestions please.
-
There is room to put a sticky-backed plastic disc in the middle of the dashboard, on top, and the suction pad can be fixed to the disc. We seem to have two parallel threads on this topic!

I got my new sat nav today and was really surprised that the just is not anywhere to put it, even on the side windows so looks like I am going to have to put it on the info screen. Noticed that it will not stick around the edge, only on the middle part so must only be glass or plastic in the middle and some composite round the side. Unless anyone has found somewhere else to put it. Many thanks.

I have a phone holder that fixes into the CD slot above the info screen these are also available for sat navs just did a search and found these
https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/CD-Slot-Phone-Mount-Apps2car-Portable-Universal-Car-Holder-Cradles-Rotate-Dock-S/1785079611
This is just an example of what’s available this is the holder I have and it is very sturdy

I use the Sat nav on my phone and was struggling to find a place for it on the mk3 as the 5 inch screen obscured too much drivers vision. Have just received a holder from Amazon that fits into the CD slot, seems ideal for me as all my music is on a us b stick connected in the centre console. I didn't want to stick the Sat nav to the 7 inch screen as I use the audio and phone modes.
The CD slot holder comes with 3 thicknesses of rubber spacers to ensure a tight fit. It is very sturdy and holds the phone in an ideal position so is worth considering.
Sorry I am not tech savvy enough to paste a link, but it can be found easily if you search Amazon (other suppliers are available I'm sure).

I have taken some photos of my satnav mount. As a short term measure when swapping cars I used the suction mount on the dashboard screen.

I am currently driving a Europcar hired Lancia Ypsilon in Sicily, and the info screen has a warning sticker as follows: "Suction cups damage the screen. Please do not apply them to the display". Is anyone aware of any damage of this kind?
-
I would assume it depends on what the screen surface is made of. The Jazz screen seems to be rigid, some screens may not be so robust.
