Default Scan Gauge mounting

Anyone ever checkout ScanGauge? I just picked one up from a friend and seems to work really nice. Only question is where to mount this thing with out to much slice and dice of the interior. Anyone else using one? If so where to mount?

Also thing the motor is running to hot at 220. Is this normal, or time to start replacing a few cooling components?

220 is a little warm, most XJs like to run a 210ish

I have on in my Ram, the XJ isnt obd II and its mounted on the steering column

I've got a scangauge II and I love it... best automotive money I've ever spent. I love how you can pretty much monitor all of the sensor values in realtime to help pinpoint problems.

It's permanently mounted in my Civic though. Can't tell you where to put on in an XJ.

I saw these mentioned on some DIY truck show this weekend and they seem like a good idea. Are folks having good experiences using these with their XJs?

I was going to go with the velcro on the column too. Has this worked out?
