Creative places for scangauge.

I recently invested in a scangauge but I cant really find a good spot to put it.
It seems to awkwardly stand out wherever it is, so I want to see what creative solutions you guys have come up with.

I cant use the space where the cigarette lighter is, that is taken up with boost gauge/GPS.

I just put my scangaugeII on top of my steering colum in front of the tach. The gauge has all the same gauges and fuel monitors that the oem tach does, so I just have the MPH gauge set at the bottom right of the SG. Its a simple clean install and very easy to read and use in this location. I ran the cord down the back of the colum behind the lower dash flap and connected it to the port.

Mine is just to the left of the tach, as you can see in the picture

This was done with the included velcro strip set.



I now have a Garmin Nuvi 755 4.3" on an articulated ball mount just below it.

I set mine up at the corner of the dash/windshield and run the OBD2 cable by the door seals. Easy to see and no real visible cable.
