I had trouble reading my GPS when it was mounted on a sandbag mount on the dash, so I bolted part of the mount to one of the screws holding the AC vent in place. Then I got annoyed with the cord hanging down the middle of the dash, so I removed the console cover and routed it underneath and connected it to the accessory ignition-controlled wires under the console cover.
While I had the console cover off, I replaced the broken console latch as well.
