I've never done it....doubt I ever would. But if I did....I would want to use screws/locknuts and have some type of backing plate so the load would be distributed over a larger area vs. just the screw holes.

And it's fun to see my one sync gauge go from red to green

. Sure would like to get the second Sync that you SGII folks seem to have... (I say that because you are looking at the same PID, as far as I can tell) -- I could just create a second gauge and call it FICM Sync I guess...

Oops, Your right Bluetooth and not Wifi.

I think an ipad mini on the dash would be good for the DashBoss product. I'm currently using an iphone for it. BTW, I much prefer the DashBoss product to the Scangauge and I have them both.

My tree if you want to call it that has a ball mount that is in the
center console pocket. I just used some wood screws to mount it.
So I think the dash is thicker and would hold better. I just don't
like making holes in the dash that will show if I remove something.
