ecometer mount
I want to mount my ecometer on the pillar by the side mirror (don't remember if it's a or b whatever).
How do you guys hide the wires when mounting a tach or in my case the ecometer there? |

you can snap off the A pillar, hide the wire underneath, and snap it back on.
answered both questions, bam!

 I've thought about mounting a GPS or something, like others have done, but as I recall, they didn't have the air bags in their pillars. I've also seen that self-made or store bought GPS mount that fits in the cup holder. Would that device also come toward the driver should the pillar air bag go off? I thought I had seen a link somewhere that showed how these air bags are deployed. Anyone have that?

Got the meter today. I am really liking it. For the money it is a neat little gadget!
Sadly the 3m stuff wasnt sticky on 1 piece so ihave it mounted with reg velcro which isnt holding very well. Have to think of something. Oh, i decided to mount it above/behind the driverside ac vent by the window. I tried the pillar but visibilty wasnt as good. |
