Scangauge installation on iPod gooseneck



I have my Scangauge mounted on a recycled iPod gooseneck. I removed the iPod mount and 12v adapter from the ends of the gooseneck. I attached the gooseneck to the Scangauge with a screw from the back of the Scangauge tapped into the 90 degree fitting on the gooseneck. I used a scrap right angle at the bottom of the gooseneck and tapped into the side of the left cubby with 2 screws.



From the driver's point of view it's just below the line of sight to the left of the steering wheel. I don't have to bring my eyes that far from the road to read the gauge.

As you can see it's not in the way of the AC vent.

Very nice. Looks like a decent alternative to the above-the-rearview-mirror idea, and it is relatively close to the computer port.
