I want to mount my ecometer on the pillar by the side mirror (don't remember if it's a or b whatever).

How do you guys hide the wires when mounting a tach or in my case the ecometer there?

you can snap off the A pillar, hide the wire underneath, and snap it back on.

answered both questions, bam! :laugh:

^ put it on the triangle piece where the mirror attaches, run wire through grommet following speaker wire

That is a darn good idea!
Is the wire long enough to go thru the door?

And i will post pics and impressions as soon as my garm-purchased eco gets here:D

Would the pillar air bags propel that forward or toward the driver? :iono:
I've thought about mounting a GPS or something, like others have done,
but as I recall, they didn't have the air bags in their pillars. I've also seen
that self-made or store bought GPS mount that fits in the cup holder.
Would that device also come toward the driver should the pillar air bag go off?
I thought I had seen a link somewhere that showed how these air bags are
deployed.

Anyone have that? :iono:

Got the meter today. I am really liking it. For the money it is a neat little gadget!

Sadly the 3m stuff wasnt sticky on 1 piece so ihave it mounted with reg velcro which isnt holding very well. Have to think of something.

Oh, i decided to mount it above/behind the driverside ac vent by the window. I tried the pillar but visibilty wasnt as good.
