Garmin Nav and alta boost gauge

hi there,

does anyone installs both "garmin portable nav" and "alta boost gauge"?

I am planning to install "alta boost gauge" that would be installed beside our tachometer. However, mini dealer installed "garmin portable nav" besides the tachometer too.

So i have to uninstall the portable nav in order to install boost gauge.

I am wondering where is the best place in our MCS to locate both of them so our interior would not look a mess.

any good place for "garmin portable nav" to locate? other than besides the tachometer.

thanks,
Eddie.

Yeah only the boost gauge, and you can put it on the right side, I just like it better on the left, plus you have an air vent and the key fob slot on the right so may be crammed.....I wouldn't say the install is difficult, it's very involved because there's a bunch of little steps and they require pulling a bunch of different things apart to hook the wires up.
