Zeitronix LCD install location?

Does anyone have pictures or have a perfect location to install the Zeitronix LCD option that came with it? I wanted to put it on the stock Headunit location but I couldn't find a perfect head unit adapter to put the LCD in. Do you guys have that setup? Post some pics! Thanks...

Hey thanks for the pics! What stuff did you use to install the LCD? Did you just use velcro or what? I was thinking of using plexiglass and installing it in place of the stock head unit. The pictures you gave is not what I was looking for. I thought maybe you have pics of it installed on the stock headunit...Thanks anyway.

I've done a half way job at installing my unit (still have to wire up probe and wideband) but heres mines. I was not going for looks just convenience (sp?) of being able to see all my vitals in one easy spot! Use rivets and small brackets for the install.

can the brightness of the display be adjusted? It looks it needs to be taken down a notch.

No, it is fixed brightness. But it is not really that bright when there is sun outside. Here's where I mounted mine:

Yah, that's a good location. You can buy some radar dector mounts at radio shack. Those will be the once who will have suctions cups that sticks on the wind shield. There is pretty much no place to install anywhere in the dash if you have the radio relocation kit.

It is way to big to put it there. Unless you don't want to see the tach at all.

uhm... all the cars that come outta rre have the zeitronix there... i think you needa kinda sink it into where the column swivels... there's a lil recessed area. anyone know where to get htat special kind of double sided tape that is non tack? the guy that sold me my zeitronix had some... it's REALLY strong but you can peal it off with no residue! blew my mind, didn't know something like that existed.

the tape was grey in color... if that helps anyone...

Road Race Engineering used velcro to mount it on top of my steering column.
