Made new bracket to replace crappy suction mount.

Looks good! Did you make the metal bracket yourself?

Yes, 1/8" x 3/4" mild steel, powder coated dark gray.

Looks nice, I think it'd look really nice to glass it in there where the little atari ledge is.

Ok, after playing McGyver for 2 hours last night with an SD card(had to use Garmin 250W as card read/writer) I have the splash screen customized, 2.0 software and "330" bluetooth update installed, hacked VIM through Win CE, and hooked up mute and signal to factory deck. I have a slight pause or delay when it activates the voice on the HU. The F500bt starts talking too soon for the HU and sometimes you don't hear the first one or two words of the Nav instructions. No big deal mostly, I keep the output on dual... ie internal speaker and preamp at the same time so you can hear words just not through the car speakers. I have alot of noise during USB or SD playback, not so much during BT, but I think a few added grounds will help, going to try that at later date, need to finish other projects first.
