The RPG GPS mount doesn't fit the Lowrance Elite 5 DSi, but I knew that going into the purchase. I use the GPS for my boat as well as offloading in my Raptor, so I knew I'd have to modify RPG's mount and do a cigarette lighter install due to taking it in and out (one day maybe I'll do dedicated units for each toy).

Here's the RPG mount:

I had to make a new faceplate mount, weld it to RPG's mount, trim off the edges and grind it down, Plasti-dip it and then install it in the truck.

Once the new faceplate was finished, the actual install was cake.
