i KNOW there is a thread on here somewhere i have seen it,besdies the offical interior thread. so since i cant find it start a new one.
was wondering where all you guys mounted your control unit for the defis?? i know the most common spot is under the radio, i was thinking about putting my in the center consoule.
please post pics or link to the thread i cant find.ahah
thanks kevin

 

i have seen it installed in the center arm rest

 

I've seen it in the pocket below the dash, below that pocket, and on the passenger side of the dash beside the pocket. Another good place might be on the side of the center console, if it won't fit inside.

 

 

if this is your car?? how big of a pain in the *** is it to always open the glove box to use the control unit, or how often do you use it? just when u are trying to record your boost gauge and what it peaks at extc extc

 

I can reach it from the driver's seat so it is not that big of a deal. However, I seldom use the record, peak and playback functions. I like that it is hidden and I can still use the glove box.

 

Did you have to drill a hole in the side of the glovebox or is that already there for one of the stoppers? (I guess I could go look)

 

same thing i thought, maybe only at the track or something like that. i have a lot of crap in my glove box and nothing in my armrest, so i figured arm rest, but the glove box would be an easier install.

 

nobody else?

 

I have mine in the cubby hole under the a/c controls. Sorry no pics right now, I thought I had one. It's perfect, out of the way and still use the space under it to hold my ipod.

 

YESSURR

 

Wallesasuaz, does your screen hit the shifter when you open it or do you put it in 2nd/4th??? Sorry for being off topic.

 

Does screen clears the shifter in any gear. I actually opens right above the shifter say about 1/2 inch. If you were to keep your hand on the shifter the screen would most likely touch your knuckles.

As for reaching my controls, there's a button on top of the screen that activates the screen to move down for a period of a few seconds before it retracts itself.
It does not hit the HVAC controls and it has memory for last set position. U can always adjust the angle to your liking to avoid tapping.

But, I haven't had a problem w/ the screen yet. I'm quite comfortable w/ it's position.

sorry for the off-topic.

 

here's mine

 

you mount in cubby..not to bad. i have my radio there though..ill probably just end up doin it in the arm rest or glove box
