    Hi All -

    Anyone have any recommendations (and/or pics) of good spots to mount a Scangauge in the Gen III?
    Thanks

    You can find window and mirror mounts for the ScanGauge on eBay. Someone else here mounted theirs on the dash so it was visible through the steering wheel.

    I was looking at various mounts and while I was deciding, I used double sided 3m tape, kind of thick, not like a "scotch" tape...and mounted it on the steering column after I selected my best "telescoping" distance...and as of now, I think I'll keep it there. It's fairly unobtrusive, but visible and easily adjustible by me. And the cables are invisible. So for now I think that's where mine will stay. Mirror sounds good but really not as easy a scan/glance as where I am now; and side window or a higher dash mount at least for me makes it more obvious to an outside person with prying eyes. Easy to change.
