That's where I put mine, the velcro adhesive lasted a couple months before it wouldn't stick anymore. I put a lightweight rectangular plastic doodad on top the steering wheel cowl and sat it on top of that, the sticky on back of SG is just enough to keep it from sliding off. I've seen other instances where people cut a wood piece to the shape of the steering wheel cowl and paint it black, and stick the SG to that. A good solution if you are a little more industrious and don't want to cut your dash. Sun IS a problem here, the SG display will be almost unreadable if in the sun on a hot day, so put a window shade.

Me too! I have the wire tie wrapped on looms up to that area and it just sits on top of the steering wheel column. Stays put from the wire connected. It gets disconnected and put away when I park so it doesn't get hi-jacked or sun beat.

That install looks really good. Put some tiny trim around the hole though.Trim it up like a picture frame. Maybe in metal?

Wow,

That's an excellent install. I chose the CD tray below the radio more for security than anything else. I can flip the door up when I'm parked and its hidden.

I also just installed the EV mod tonight.

Nice! I'll have to think of where to install it. Is there data the Scanguage supplies that CANVIEW won't? I will want to put at least one of these in.
