I then wrapped the excess wire around the neck of the suction cup mount and slid the coozie over the mount and jar, top down (can opening at bottom, slits at top) and stuck the 12 volt end out of one of the slits in the coozie bottom to plug in the center console. The coozie hides most of the wires, but lets them and the mount stick out for the Garmin and makes a tight fit when I slide it down in the rear cup holder in the center console.
I turned the coozie inside out because it hides the writing on the coozie and the black inside looks better with my interior.
Total cost: one cup holder space...otherwise free if you don't count the cost of the garlic...

+1 for the electric tailgate lock.
About $5 for the actuator on Ebay plus whatever wire, loom, screws you need. Did mine for around $25.
Also.... LED dome lights. About $5 off Ebay shipped from China.
