I have had my mini 0803 GPS running in my car for a week now and thought I should share how I mounted it.
I find that having the mini-USB cable plugged in makes the wiring more obvious and bulky..... so I cut off the micro-USB connector, dismantled the GPS mount, drilled a hole in it and soldered the +ve and -ve wires to the circuit board (I am not a soldering expert so quite easy!). I also wired it directly to a 12--5v transformer connected straight to the fuse box to avoid the extra bulk of a cigarette adapter.
Here is a photo of it taken apart and in action.
I can also let anyone know how to fit to a Seat Alhambra (2011+) taking a switched feed from drivers side fuse box, up A frame and along headliner without any unscrewing or damage! No wires visible at all! You only have to remove the driversside A pillar cover which is 'easy'.
