It will probably take me just as long to figure out a mounting location as it did to pull the trigger to buy the DashDaq. I have an idea where I want it but its hard to say without having to new "toy" in my hand.
I am a little bumed to hear that FICM voltage cant be seen on it Mark. Thanks for ruining my good mood this a.m.

You are putting me in a pinch ...................... 
I have not done the final cord routing yet. I plan on running it from the OBD port, up behind the dash panel and out the top of the dash at a seam. I will need to drill a small hole at the seam just behind where I have the DashDAQ mounted. It should be unobtrusive.
I just have not had the energy to do it yet.
I was also thinking about running the cord up under the dash and over to the drivers side pillar. I would probably need to drill a hole in the side of the platic pillar (at the bottom) and then lay the rest of the cord on top of the dash over to the unit. I just did not like the idea of always seeing the cord on the dash.
I promised someone pictures awhile ago, but I just have been lazy ..........

i am going to try something different. i've looked at the dash pods for edge products and it seems you could easily modify one to hold the DD by fabricating a bracket. another option i am considering is an A pillar mount designed to hold edge products.
still not ready to shell out the cash for a DD yet, but soon hopefully....

Saw where someone used an 18301 (or other specific to your MY) and a 98003 (CTS Dash Pod Adaptor Kit) looked like it might work. Someone else stated with a little mod the DD would fit into the Edge Dash Mount without the 98003.
