Garmin BC 35. I found it at $138 on Ebay. This is the view it had before I clobbered it. Ultimately, I'll do another down there but will figure out a way to get it up and more out of harm's way. I was able to place the tires very precisely with this view. It isn't a substitute for a good spotter, but is VERY helpful when no spotter is available.
Funny this thread gets reactivated just now, as I received by Overlander a few days ago. These comments really validate my decision to forgo the $1800 8.4" radio and get the $525 (what I paid) Overlander instead.The magnetic mount on this thing is really nice, too. Here is a pic of my setup with Ram mounts. I can't remember where I got the mount rig for the dash tray, but I'll try and find it. My brother is asking me to find it for his Gladiator, too.
Look closely. Mine is an accessory that mounts into the existing screws in the dash tray. The RAM mounts are built-in.
Found it! I knew it was some obscure brand. That's why I couldn't remember it.
Excellent! Thank you.
I bought this, and like a lot of Jeep aftermarket, it is overpriced, but nevertheless I'm glad I got it, as it looks like it is an original part of the dash. It has three different places to attach the RAM mount; I chose the center. This places the 7" Overlander screen immediately above the 7" radio screen.
Nice setup! Cleaning up the wiring is on my short list of things to do soon!I bought this, and like a lot of Jeep aftermarket, it is overpriced, but nevertheless I'm glad I got it, as it looks like it is an original part of the dash.

I also mounted a 12v receptacle on the Voswitch, with hidden wiring down to the the bundles below on passenger side. So I don't have the Garmin power cord running down to the 12v receptacle below the A/C controls.
With the Garmin magnetic mount, it is simple to pop it off and stick it in the center console.
I ordered that Ram flush mount that was just released with t-balls, that looks similar to what you have so that will be a good add. Always put my sunglasses there but I need to find a better place anyway for glasses. Cord management is big for me also, can’t stand exposed wires. Did you drill into the dash or run it along the glads to the side and then down?I bought this, and like a lot of Jeep aftermarket, it is overpriced, but nevertheless I'm glad I got it, as it looks like it is an original part of the dash.

I've not drilled into the dash. Right now, the cord is just coming straight down, running through the grab bar. It is ugly and cluttered. I'll ultimately run a wire around the back of the dash tucked in below the windshield over to the passenger side, then down, and connect to the aux switch wire that is hot when the ignition is on. I've also got two RAM replacement balls for the ones that came with that mount. They are cheaply made and the rubber is starting to come off of them. The RAM balls will be MUCH better.
This proved easier than expected. There are two triangular plastic pieces on the dash on either side of the tray. On my JT, the one on the left has a small dome that probably does something. The one on the right is plain. I found with a sharp small flat screwdriver I could gently pry it up. Part of the defrost vent comes with it.
