The only advantage to an installed version is possibly a larger display
and less likelihood of
it being stolen.
Be leery when the dealer say, "Sure, no problem, just turn around and
bend over.".
For the $300 "upgrade" you could have a new one with all the bells and
whistles or 2 excellent
units and have one for the Healey too. I'm on my 4th Garmin but still
have spent less than a
single factory or dealer installed unit. I was an early adopter back
in the mid 90's.
