I used mine to mount my Garmin GPS....

Here's a short summary of what I did....
-take the Garmin suction cup mount and cut the arm off the base on an angle
-file it flat
-using a dab of crazy glue glue it to the center of the inner top of the tray in the desired
position
-drill two small pilot holes via the top of the box and using two small screws secure the
base arm to the case (the crazy glue should hold during this process)
-drill a 1" hole into the back of the case for the USB power mount (any electronic store
carries these... I got mine for $5.99 at CDN Tire)
*The pictures will help explain....
The nice thing is you can use the USB jack for charging a phone/GPS etc and you can undo the GPS/Mounting clip leaving nothing visible in your car to the normal person.
If you need more information just send me a message
