I have the F5 switcher and it is mounted with the bracket to my gauge pod. Very easily accessible there.

I mounted mine to the L of the steering wheel I hate it there! I may move it to R(4x4 switch area) seems ideal!

Mine is just up and to the left in that flat area from where Mike has his. Works pretty well. It is only slightly obstructed from view for me. Just a slight head move to the right and there it is in plain sight.

Funny as it sounds, where mines mounted, I can see the reflection of numbers on the switcher in my windshield glass at nite.
