I have purchased one of those that I want to mod a bit and integrate somewhere hidden in the interior (I don't need to know pressure all the time), I have picked it apart and I can make a square container for the screen and move the buttons as I see fit but I don't know where I want to put it.

First I thought about putting it at the bottom of the arm rest and just put a thin sheet of plexi over it but I'm not sure... don't really have that many places to put it.

Ideas?

How about on the left side of the steering wheel? if you take the screen apart, maybe cut a nice square hole in the steering surround piece on the left side for LDH cars or the right side for RHD cars, that way its not to noticable but its right there to see when you need it...thats pretty cool...where did you get that at and how much was it?

The space next to the cigarette lighter was a good candidate and makes sense since I hardly ever use that space but it doesn't fit standing up without cutting up into AC controls or down through the plastic surrounding the gear shifter.

The side of the steering wheel idea is something I never thought of, have to look into that how it fits and all.

I got it from www.conrad.se (they have an international site too http://www.conrad-international.com) for about 160$.

I have my cellphone holder above the AC vents, and it's alittle too in your face in such a good spot, want it more hidden but still not... if that makes sense.

I was thinking of doing this... TPMS is the shyt. I was thinking about redoing my headliner again and put it in there, or take apart receiver and mold it into a plastic piece in the interior

The measurements are 91 x 73,5 mm for the display itself.

Been dragging it around the interior see where it might fit but still nothing that caught my eye.

Latest kind of stupid idea is below the removable ashtray... then I can just take out the ashtray whenever I want to see it, like a diagnostic screen type thing, it just fits rather nicely in there.
