Default Hiding NAVI GPS Wire

Hello,

I have a question, I'm not sure if this has been covered before, I searched but couldnt find anything.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 660 portable GPS and I had it suctioned in the cubby hole of my 350z and I'd like to do the same thing with my 370z. The only problem is that I can see the stupid power wire going from the cubby to the the AC outlet. Is there anyway to have someone (or do myself if easy enough) hide this behind the scenes so I dont have to look at it? I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to this stuff..

Yes it is possible. If you have to ask you should not attempt to do it yourself. Go to a car audio shop.

Cut a hole in the back of the cubby hole, take apart the plug from the cable and take the + and - wire and hard wire to the power plug behind it in the dash. If this sounds to hard than take it to someone.

Sounds like an average car audio place should be able to handle this no problem, what do you think would be a fair ballpark price to pay them to do this?
