Garmin Mobile 10x - is there a stand/station for it?

I want to get Garmin Mobile 10 but I want to be tightly set in my car. I don't want it to move and I have no idea if Garmin sells something like that for Axim x51v. I know Garmin's PDA has a stand/station for its PDA with weights.

According to all the reports I read in all media one of the MOST
stolen articles or incentives for car breakins is the GPS stuck to
the dash that and cellphones.
The last thing you want is "theftproof".
Crackheads will destroy your dash/interior to tear out desirable
resellable items.
Garmin sells Garmin Mobile XT and you can purchase a Bluetooth
linked receiver and pair it up to your 51v,that's what I have.
Both are removable and hide easily,plus if your into geocaching
or just trail walking you can carry it with you.

I am planning on hiding it after I get out of the car...

How far away does the GPS unit have to be from my Axim? Maybe I can keep it hidden at all times and then just hide my Axim when leaving my car.

Bluetooth only has an average range of 20-30 feet
so it's somewhat limited.

I usually put my gps rcvr in the console once it is tracking sats. Then when I take my ax with me it shuts off automatically and is already out of site.
