Wow, there's gonna need to be some serious velcro to keep their butts stuck to the dash. I can see them critters yelling "Whoaaaaa!" during an autocross session.

Neat location. Only issue is you have to take your eyes off the road completely with the Scangauge mounted above your rear view mirror.

That's where I have my reverse parking sensor screen located. It has a picture of how close I am to an object behind me and it also tells me how close I am in cm.



That location is good for reverse parking sensors or an e-tag, but I don't think it's a good location for a scangauge considering it has buttons and you'd have to reach high to press them.

Does that SGII mount work with the factory mirror, or does it only work with mirrors with round bases? I like the mount and the SGII, but not if I have to replace the mirror or stick it to the dash.

I thought the scan gauge and GPS went in the glove box. When you get out of the car you close it and the people walking by do not know you have toys to steal.

My Scanguage is just Velcroed to the roof , and because i had my front window replaced about 4 months ago , it now has a dark blue tint accross
the top of it , so the Scanguage cannot be seen from the outside of the car.
i was going to do the glove box method , but was wooried about the sun
on it.
