Those With DashDaq, Show Your Mounts!

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the Spartan DPF removal and tune, and I was wondering where everyone is putting there Dashdaq? I love the clean untouched look of my interior now and would hate to clutter it up. I wish there were a way to run it right the the Nav screen!. So please post up some pics of where you are mounting your Dashdaq!! Thanks

Need to get a video out added to the DashDaq. That would make it compatible with aftermarket nav units to display.

Speaking of the Nav, is there anyway to shut off the DVD safety feature that wont allow you to watch DVD's out of park?!

I have a Arkon quick disconnect mount. Put mine right in front of the tach. don't use it anyway since I monitor everything with the DashDAQ...

the gauge pod for the edge evolutions with minimal trimming will house the dashdaq no problem and looks pretty clean, i dont have a picture of it though i try to get ya one. and i dunno bout these new models but on older nav systems any like car audio store could turn off the feature that only lets it play in park but i dunno bout these new trucks haven't heard of anyone doin it.

Aftermarket ones have a green wire that needs to be grounded, usually with the park brake in automatics to be able to play video while driving. Older units you could just hook it up to ground constantly and that would work, companies sorta wised up and made it so that the unit needed to detect the circuit as not being closed or whatever first before it would allow it to play, simple solution was to run the wire to a ground location and just throw in a toggle switch to use for activating. I'm sure the factory units have a similar set up, would have to pull it out and splice in a jumper or something on the wire that receives that signal which really wouldn't be hard.
