The best and most complete ones I have seen are from RAM. They have mounts to allow your unit to be placed almost anywhere! I got one that clips to the AC vent on my truck!

Well, do you have a GPS receiver? With no GPS receiver you can't get GPS to work!

I did not see any GPS-related accessories for your phone, at least not from Ericsson.

Why pay extra for a subscription? Ever heard of this wonderful thing called a map?

There are some states which do not allow window mounting of GPS units, for one reason. I have the C330 unit and bought that dash mount from Amazon. It has 3 legs and depends on the friction and weight of the entire unit to remain in place. It works great on the flat portion of my dashboard. My windshield angle is such that I can't mount a GPS unit and still be able to reach it from the driver's seat. I use the windshield mount in a different car.

I do not have the anti-glare screen, but I have not had an issue with washout even in bright sunlight.

Many new Toyotas do not have lighters or ash trays. If there is no ash tray there is no lighter, do NOT put a lighter element into a power socket! Look in your owner's manual or ask your dealer for details.

you might want to check the box and make sure it comes with a cord to connect to your computer for updates–most units do come with the cable- some don't. you will want to update your maps, points of interest etc and you'll need that cable to do it….

Normally a GPS unit comes with the windshield mounting hardware and everything else you need to operate it. It has a suction cup sort of thing, and is easy to remove, since it is a good idea to hide the unit and mounting hardware when leaving the car in the open.
