Haha, thanks! The unit was $500 at Bestbuy...though you can find it online for a little
cheaper. Was at a Bestbuy looking and picked it up, been looking for a little bit.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen a hardwire kit for this unit nor the Garmin Nuvi I was looking at
because apparently, the power converts at the cigarette charger or something. Lower power input I believe...at least what I read on GPS forums. So there is no true hardwire kit. This is the only alternative I can think of. I know it'd be better to have a true hardwire but oh well.
Actually, not distracting at all. I thought it would be but its high up in the corner, the voice directions are loud enough and I just glance at it once in a while.
Thanks for your help!

Yup, its the USB style plug. I actually re-did the wiring so it comes out from the top of
the headliner. I can mount the GPS upside down so the plug just plugs right in 
no more looping cable at the bottom.
