Anyone running a scangauge in their 5th gen?

I am kind of interested in this little gadget to add "trip computer" stuff to my A33 max. I figure the 5.5 gen guys aren't running it because they already have it in the dash

In any event, just wondering:

1) Anyone have one?
2) How do you like it, is it accurate?
3) Any pics of where you have it mounted (or is it not mounted)

If I can't do it cleanly installed, I won't even bother. A search of "scangauge" and a search of "scan gauge" turned up a minimal threads on the entire .org that weren't too useful.

Here's the scangauge website: http://www.scangauge.com/

Thanks!

Yeah, it's got a lot of great features. I haven't seen one in person but they're supposed to be relatively compact. The real key is how to mount is cleanly in the cabin.

yeah that's true, trying to keep off the top of the dash so it doesn't attract attention for theft

its a little too bulky for the dash... . but the center console thing shouldnt attract theft that much.... it would look like its part of the clock or something.... that are is nice and flat...


or... if you want to be descreen... u could put it in the visor or something.. .i dont know
