    I am trying to get some ideas on where to mount my avcr. I don't want to just stick it somewhere. I am all about clean... Thanks.

    Is that the little sliver looking thing? If it is, I have seen it done right next to the cup holder in that blank piece of plastic.

    I'd like to see/hear some idea's as well.
    Trying to figure this out myself.

    Can't say that I've really searched on it though.

    personally i would see if you could get an audio shop to make you a fiberglass pod that fits down by the ashtray \cig lighter area. unless you have a router to make the frame and can do fiberglass yourself.

    i would try to mount it somewhere on the dash... i will end up getting one of these in the fall and i think its important for a boost controller/gauge to be in peripheral view when driving

    what do they have it for?, maybe we can contact the company and have them send one via e-mail, or ask them, Maybe somone will also chime in if they have the same set up. We'll figure it out.

    :rofl::rofl:

    Keep working on her.
    Mine was the same way to begin with, then she realized that she'd rather
    have me spending money on my car, then out drinking or at the strip club.

    Make sure to post some pics once you get this avcr mounted.
    Search over on Nasioc. There are several threads over there on mounting
    options.
