Mounting new radio

Hi guys, I just got my new icom radio in the mail. I read the instructions and it says I need to mount it three feet away from the compass because of interference. Problem is my compass is in the middle of the console, and there is not sufficient room anywhere to mount it 3 feet away. Is there any solution for this problem? Should I return it and buy a high end hand held? I also read that excess coax cable should not be bundled together as it will cause a magnetic field that will interfere with compass. Is there any truth to this?thanks again - Poncho
