Good way to fix garmin smartdrive in place using exsisting 3mm tapped holes from removed circuit board and inserting 4 x 3mm bolts to fix garmin in place.
I used soldering iron to make 4 small dints in back plastic cover of garmin to locate 3mm bolts . This locked garmin in position . Without having to use glue.
Also used double sided tape to seat garmin in place before lockin garmin in place with 3mm bolts .
Its worth noting if you want to keep tilt cover mechanism working you have to plug back in the original large circuit board in orginal position as this controls mechanism .
But you can remove all other vidio printed circuit boards within this housing.
The blue and red wires in photo are soldered on to garmin speaker and used for and additional extenstion speaker.
The Garmin runs on 5v dc so you will need to use a 12v to 5v dc adapter with fuse on 12v side . I found a 5amp 12V dc to 5V dc adapter on e-bay and wired it to back of cigarettes lighter socket via insulated cartridge fuse .
You need a basic understanding of car electrics to do the above so get help from a professional if you dont .
Always disconnect car battery before you start any work.
