    I didn't get the blendmount? just the velcro.
    I'll have to look up the cost of one.
    That does look like a good location, I might rethink my location.
    I'm going to make the same type of mount out of a piece of Aluminum plate and bending a fold.
    Looks like they are $48.99 on amazon

    or you could use this suction mount http://www.ebay.com/itm/WINDSHIELD-W...33a75a&vxp=mtr

    Mine is mounted forward of the shifters cut into the ecm cover. Nice clean and easy to read. Its also very secure.

    Scangauge II in ashtray opening.
    GPS in vent opening.
    Taken tonight by my Daughter's smart phone.

    I made a bracket out of aluminum plate, sized to fit the ashtray slide bracket, folded to an angle to tilt up slightly, with a hole in the plate for the CAT plug.

    My GPS is mounted in the vent opening, after removing the vent I screwed the base with the suction cup rubber removed, to the side of the vent opening.
    That way everything can be returned to original without holes.

    I'll upload some daylight close ups later....

    Is anyone getting trans temps or shifts?

    My tires ended up being a 8% speed adjustment to match the GPS speed.
