When I installed my Garmin I chose a "cleaner" install:

I didn't want a cable to dangle from the cigarette lighter plug all the time, so I decided to conceal as much as possible.

So I got a plug for cigarette lighters at RadioShack and installed it inside (behind) the center console
I "stole" switched power from the radio and then routed the Garmin cable from inside the console to come out behind the instrument cluster.

in total about 4 hrs work time if you do it slow
