ScanGauge II Installation ideas
Hi !

I just ordered the scangauge II and a sigle din Alpine stereo with the crutchfield mounting rack.

Any idea and pictures if possible on where you installed the SG II on your truck. I would like it easy to read.
I have an 2006 F-350 by the way!

Cheers!

I'm using an MGT Blendmount which mounts the Scangauge above the mirror. The cable is routed along the trim down in under the dash so you can't see the cable. I did need to buy an extension cable which is just a cat 5 or 6 cable.

I used a suction mount from a gps unit I have that no longer works. After a little trimming I used the provided velcro to hold the ScanGauge II unit to the mount. Works great.
