Correct. Its removeable and the other end pops out at the Ashtray. The Navman sits there well and can also be removed leaving no sign of a sat nav in the car.

Not even a ring mark on the windscreen

Thanks all,

I had a job interview this week in Luton..

On the way home I called in the Vauxhall Performance Centre or 888 centre near Silverstone. This is where the touring cars are built. I'm getting the 120 brake engine modified to 170 brake. It should be done in a fortnight AND it doesn't invalidate the Vauxhall Warranty!
