I tend to keep my cars so no big deal, and I could plug that hole and get a new column cover easily.
No guts.....no glory!!!!

bump.
I have now mounted my gps and scangauge in my 2007 KIA SPORTAGE.
I thought I had a pic but will post tomorrow.
But I basicly bent a thin piece of metal and wedged it between plastic parts.

Mine is just resting on the column in front of the speedometer in my truck. Seems to be a good spot for now...right next to my Valentine One radar detector remote display. I really should make a real mount...
