Post Navigation Mount

Hello brothers,
My e60 does not comes with navigation so I'm using Garmin nuvi50LM for time being until my upgrade next year. (2013 550i)
Has anyone installed it clean without visible messy wires?
On Driver side windshield, its most comfortable but then the wires are pretty much visible and I have to use the center cigarette lighter. (ugly setup). Attached pic

Then I tried to install it on passenger side, and it has neat setup since you can give the connection from passanger footwell but this setup is not ergonomic.

Has anyone installed it neat? A picture will be appreciated.

Happy New Years!

Hey now...
I'm in the same boat actually, different Nuvi model though. I actually mount mine on the trim next to the center vent, right above the driver's cup holder since it's glossy and smooth...suction cup on the mount works well there. I use the passenger foot-well for power, weave the cord through the net/pocket and put all the slack in there and then up to the mount. Still not the neatest, but seems to be the most "out of the way" for everyone in the car and it's still easy enough to look at the screen.

Hope this helps!
