OBD II ScanGauge II Mirror Mount

[workmeistr]

I'm definately buying a ScanGauge II and I believe I have looked at all of the VX mount options pictures on the site. Yet, I am interested in possibly doing the mirror mount:

I believe our mirrors have the 3/4" linkage.

My primary concern is cable lenghth. I would run the cable from the gauge through the middle of the spiral map light cable, tucked into the headliner over and down the drivers front pillar to the OBDII plug, so:

What is the cable length in the ScanGauge II box? (I could not find this in any of the product descriptions)?

The cable tip that plugs into the gauge looks like an ethernet size. Could an ethernet male-female extention chord work or are the #prongs used/in different orders, different?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Please disregard previous post, the mirror mount has an extension cable.

Has anyone done a mirror mount? Thanks.

you can pop out your ashtray and it's a near perfect fit... that's where I put mine. Just a thought. You do have to look down to read it though.

as long as you use an ethernet cable that is straight through (ie not crossover) it works fine to extend it

Thanks, etlsport.

taylorRitchie, do you have pictures of the mounting (sounds dirty...)
I looked through your gallery and didn't see a dash shot. BTW, belated sorry about the S-10. Hopefully in this day and age they'll just drill a hole through your tank to steal the gas. I'll bet there's a booming business of gas tank hole sealing...
