R57: ScanGauge Mounting

I have seen some posts in the R56 forum regarding this but nothing specific to the R57. So my question is where is your ScanGauge mounted (with pictures preferably)??

I can't put it where I had in my R56 because the Openometer is in the way so I am looking for suggestions..

Thanks!

uhmm there is the HVAC vent and the key goes in over there... I couldn't figure out a good way to work around those two...

Heck I haven't figured out a good place to mount it at all...

I installed mine on the left hand corner on the dash close to the windshield. I had a audio installer install the cable. I am satisified with the install.

Have you checked out Cravenspeed.com?

Some very nice mounting options available.

my only problem with the cravenspeed one is how far out the gauge sits... it looks like it is mounted on a spiders leg or something...

frankly I wished they didn't have the openometer but could replace it with a boost/temp gauge...
