It came with a thin power lead (as well as the ciggie lighter one), i hooked it in to the back of the ciggie lighter and ran it behind the dash, up the A pillar, and across the top of the windscreen, i was able to tuck it in behind the trim the whole way. It was a neat, invisible install, and i didn't have to take it down every time i parked the car, which is a pain in the bum. If your unit fits up there, and can get a signal, it's a good way to go..

Thats not a bad idea actually, not sure if mine will fit tho because of its size but I always just dismissed the idea without trying it. Other thing which might sink that is the stupid top sliding cradel design thing on the latest navman's - probably make it awkward to get in and out of the cradle if I do want to take it out.
Might have a go at it later on and see if it works for me. Taking it down everytime is a major PITA.
