We are considering a ScanGauge for our liftback, and I like the idea of housing in in the driver's glove box.

The real question is "wire routing". Would look nice with a small hole drilled in back of the 'floor' of the driver's glove box (large enough for the samller connector to pass through), then use a grommet in the hole surrounding the wire and route the cable down to the OBDII plug. Hopefully the extra cable could be hidden up under the dash - it's like a 6' cable from what thay say.

How practical is this idea?

How have current users installed theirs?

Thanks.

I mounted mine resting on the stearing column directly behind the steering wheel. Took some drawer liner from the wife. Doubled it up to get a little lift. One drop of super glue to the scan guage. Scotch tape the liner to the column. I now have a tach and MPH in the normal positon. The scan guage weighs nothing so one small piece of scotch tape holds it on the stearing column.

That's were I leave mine. Just pop open the drivers glove box while crusing when wanna have a peak. Leaving it up when wanna actively watch it dont bother me. And i like that i dont need to Permanently mount it anywhere inside (so great to have that glove box there!!)
