I run a GPS, Radar Detector (still legal in WA) and my iphone charger.

That way, you don't need to flap open on the front dash.

Be warned however, one of the Mondeo's "features" is that the 12V stays live for 30 minutes after you switch off the car. So it means your GPS will stay active and may make it even more noticeable for a thief. Wishing I could find a way to turn that off.
