I have a 2012 RSS and mine is mounted to the handlebars with a BRP mount though it can be mounted to the dash do a querry for garmin mounting on rss many have them.
You will have to have it wired to a 12v accessory plug that can also be baught through can am or aftermarket on ebay.

I have a 2008, which is the same. There is a silver plastic piece (right hand side of handle bars) covering the 7/8" bars next to the throttle. You can easily cut (the plastic piece) and remove it with a utility knife. Then, you can use a RAM ball mount along with the mating piece from RAM that attaches to the gps.
I used to have my gps there. I replaced it with a handle bar clock. Let me know if you want a picture of what and where I'm talking about.
Here's an example of the cradle from gpscity.com:

I fitted a piece of plastic made from a chopping board to stiffen mine up and now it doesn't vibrate.

Do you have a close up? Is the piece of chopping board underneath the plastic ledge and what is the thickness? Did you use a RAM ball mount, 2 screw or 1 screw type?
I may try it again on the plastic ledge, if I can see what you actually did.
Thanks

The only other pic I have is this one, it shows the mount better.

Just checked the thickness of plastic I had left over, it's 4mm thick, so it bent and took the same contour as the top cover.

Is that the reservoir mount I'm looking at? That's where I messed up. You've got your RAM mount running perpendicular on the plastic ledge; I had it horizontal. I like your way better.

If you have a Zumo 660, that mount will not work. The zumo should come with it's own mount that you can put a Ram ball on to mount it.
Love my
Statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are caused by a defective nut holding the handlbars.
