Just wondering if anyone has found some sort of bar mount for GPS that goes above the main TFT on a 2021+ RT.
I found this one...

While the price seems quite high I'm not really a fan of a stick-on mount, I'd prefer something that bolts in.
I'm planning on picking up one of the AIO-5 GPS units to have Android Auto since the built in navigation always disconnects. It's not reliable enough.

Presumably, if necessary, more holes could be drilled to suit the aftermarket GPS.

I just fitted the Nippy Norman mount behind the TFT screen, yes I was initially concerned that it was just aq 'sticky' I applied it in my garage and left it 48 hours to 'set' I went out at weekend and no problems. If there had been, I think some suitable self tapping screws would make it very firm indeed. It was such a relief to se where I am going!!

Just fitted one to my bike, last week, sticks well, looks good I and feel much happier knowing where I am going, with my TomTom in direct eye-line!! Connected TomTom and helmet to my phone so have everything BMW should have offered!!

That Wunderlich mount is pricey, you're right. I've seen some people use RAM mounts and adapt them, but it's not the cleanest look. I'm also not a fan of stick-on mounts for something like a GPS. If you find anything else that bolts on nicely, let me know
