i want to buy a nuvi garmin (600 series 4.3'' widescreen) and install it permanently in my dash below the radio and air controls. is there a kit i can buy for this?
The only option you have is to buy an after market flip-screen GPS radio unit to replace your factory radio. This has the benefit of you gaining much more features over the BMW radio such as rear view camera, DVD/mp3/WMA/WMV/mp4 playback...etc

I am currently using this unit trip, so I did not use car rental company's units. It is small enough to fit in a briefcase, but the screen is large enough in a variety of conditions is obvious. Garmin's interface is the best, in my view, the majority of car's OEM equipment. I like it, in our Lexus, and my next car will not net asset value, I will use the Garmin.
If you are planning on buying a new GPS navigator for you car or truck you may be considering the Garmin Nuvi 265W/265WT. The only difference between these two models is that the 265WT is a 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic whereas the 265W does not provide any traffic information. Both are very popular devices today and are well worth the cost.
The Nuvi 265 offers a fully interactive touchscreen display. With a more than adequate resolution of 480 x 272 pixels you will not have any concerns making sense of what is being displayed. Also it uses the latest TFT technology with backlight to provide excellent clarity on an overcast or rainy day, you would not have to take your gaze off the road for too long to have an understanding of the data that is being given.
As it integrates the latest Bluetooth technology you can also sync the Nuvi 265 with your cell phone so that you do not get pulled over by a traffic cop for making a call. Hands free calling can help to save your life and that of other road users.

Nowadays, just over £100 can buy you a 5in widescreen sat-nav, such as Mio's Spirit 685. But if your budget is even less than that, you will still be looking at a device with a 3.5in non-widescreen, and just UK and Ireland mapping. Garmin's nuvi 2240
