Thus far, the only intelligent solution I've seen for a GPS mount in a car is to create a dock type alcove which allows the unit to be plugged/removed with no hassle. No connection/disconnection of wires necessary and the dock connector gives the device a full charge - just like an ipod dock.
The car's radio controls are designed to interface with whatever device is in the dock.

I've had an Eclipse AVN7000 in my car for about 2 years now and it's amazing. I mention it because it is also a single DIN, HDD based Navigation unit. It does have a built in 7" touch screen though (fold out). The HDD based Navigation units ARE much faster (which translates into being more usable and less of a hassle) than any of the DVD based units I've seen. for the $, I'd probably go with the AVN7000 again.

A mere descriptin on paper far from tells the tale of the capabilities or functionality of a unit. This is the same platform Clarion uses for the North American NAX970HD. it it based on the Xanavi system developed for Porsche, Nissan, Infiniti and more.
Other than offering the fastest route calculation speeds of any automotive GPS system on the market - example, three routes from NYC to LA in

What do "channels" mean in the context of a GPS receiver?
This thing seems hardcore. Who is it marketed to?
