Ordered one of these for my i3 - £7.19 delivered from US:

It isn't clear from the picture if there's space for the lead from the cig lighter but, being flexible, I hope there's a way. If not, it's not too much money to waste. It offers a 14 day unconditional returns policy, but not sure it's worth it by the time you allow for postage.
I'll report on it when I receive it. But be warned, if I'm prepared for sunshine you can guarantee it'll be a lousy summer

Looks a great addition to the little unit, I suspect the power cord will be fine as it will locate behind the visor, it appears to just clip to the front portion of the Garmin, if not a bit of work with a Dremel or similar small drill will open up the conector for usage - thanks for the tip as my i3 was useless in the sun last week, just ordered one -
I only hope you are wrong about the weather  - Mike |

Why not use a piece of card and some bluetak - it'd be even cheaper  |

| It's a nice idea, though mentioning the use of adhesive velcro tape and seeing the thing, I think it would be an even better idea to nip down to a craft shop/whsmiths/woolies and get some bits of tape and plastic to do a similar job :D |

I think it depends on the shape of your windscreen. A sloping windscreen with the unit set low seems to get reflection problems, and you don't have the room to angle it down very much.
