unique Scangauge II install

[blackbeagle]

I followed Ckigars direction and mounted mine with earth magnets I purchased on Ebay for pretty cheap. I put two magnets on top of the Scangauge via 3m sticky tape. The two other magnets I put inside the console (after removing the panel-which was super easy). I had to tape them to the dash so they don't slide away if I remove the Scangauge.

It looks great and holds it very firm. The wires I tucked behind the Obd port. It looks like a professional installed it if I must say myself. It took me under 15 minutes. No drilling. No attachments. I love it.

Thx Ckigar....great idea!

another member of the german smart-forum installed his scangauge.
here some pics...




i think, i'm ordering mine soon. ;)
but i think, the install in my smart would be more like the one in this thread, because i got too much hifi in the dashboard.

If you want to mount the SG above the mirror this is really cool.
BlendMount $45.00

If you want to do the gooseneck design below the radio check out GPSCheap.com. They have a ton of different mounting options.

For example: $12.95

Finally if you just need a black colored gooseneck to make your custom mount. Musicians Friend seems to sell them the cheapest. $2.99

I just Googled 13" black gooseneck and look in the shopping section. Lots of options.

I still can't decide but if you do enough research there are lots of options.

I like the Blendmount solution, but has anyone actually installed the mount? The mirror arm on the 451 does NOT look like this mount fits, so I am asking if anyone has actually installed one. I have an e-mail question into Blendmount at this time and will post the reply I receive. This mount might require a "homemade" adapter.

Someone told me it wouldn't. I just have mine attached with heavy duty velcro and that has been working fine.
