Has anybody actually installed this yet?  I'm anxious to know.  My whole "I'm done with my H3" is going right out the window not even 12 hours after I said it

This is not my install, but one that I have found based on info earlier in this thread.

I got mine. I installed it as far back as the cable would
let it go. I did not want the cord out the right hand side.
I have only been around the block but its neat. Cable is long enough to temp put it where a passenger could monitor function on a run.

Will it fit in the space just in front of the shifter? If you were to mount it on it's back so the display is facing upward?

No it won't fit in front of the shifter.

I made a cardboard cut out using the same dimesions of the scan guage and it fit perfectly in front of my shifter.  Is there something I'm missing?

My "mock up" doesn't block anything.  The wire can be tucked and hidden very easily.  When the shifter is in drive you can see it just fine especially if I angle it upwards.  I just have to figure out the best way to mount it (which shouldn't be to hard).  I figure there must be something that I'm missing that Mountainbiker knows about because he has one.  I don't like the idea of mounting it on the steering column or in front of the instrument panel because it seems to block the odometer.

RutDogg:

I got my order in with 1 hour to spare on the last day.......Now I got ants in my pants waiting on it to get here.

I'm not sure I like the steering column thing either. I'd prefer to put it in front of the shifter as well.........but......

At least it should be a fun install, regardless of the location.

I saw a glimpse of a mirror mount that didn’t look to bad on first inspection........

I guess I'll see when it gets here.

Hunner:

I've been following your build up for some time now across several forums.....I think you need to change your ID to Mr. Gadget.




Oh yeah....Thanks to all responsible parties for setting up this group buy ! ! !

Gunner:
Where ever you decide to mount it let me know and post some pics plz.  As far as a mirror mount (assuming you meant the rearview)....I'll be mounting my backstopper LED display on top of my rearview, so If I get the scan gauge then I'm going to mount it in front of the shifter.

I know Im bad. I just have found different input and have contacts I like on each. Apparently a lot of folks surf around. I really enjoy it when I can't get out much. People that know me call it Hunnerizing ha ha, it is what I do. I actually use all that for part of my business, so see, I have to have it, right? The H3 is just a good platform for all of that. How do you think I pay for this "stuff"? You gotta make your toys pay for themselves. I will probably slow down now.
I played around with the mounting and it really would be nice in line of site on the dash but there is no way I see to make that look nice. I mounted mine all the way forward so it did not block idiot lights on the tack and speedo. I really don't watch the odometer that much when Im driving? It is also lower up there but it helps some of us seasoned drivers with multilevel viewing devices to have it in the lower half. I know a chopper pilot that has his prescription upside down because of all the gadgets over his head and can see out and down at a distance. Now if we could get it in a heads up display................

RutDogg: Yeah I was talking about the rear view mirror....I saw the install pic one time and then couldn’t find it again.
              Finding that balance of form and function is fun if you get it right...I'll keep you posted...
              Backstopper?  -- That one of those collision alarms/sensors?
             

Hunner: That install of yours is very clean and a good option. These H3's just don’t give you a lot of options for mounting
           your tech'........."Business related".....I smell tax deduction....

           As for forum participation, initially I joined every one I could find but have since whittled it down
           to just a few I monitor closely and only two I actually post in and would consider "home".

          Got to say though, I've learned something from everyone I've ever visited.

          (Except for the ones that appear to have been abandoned)--Some creepy sh!t...Good looking sites, just no people or posts....


Crap.....Back to the Scan Guage II----I'd love to know just how many got bought by forum members.

My "mock up" doesn't block anything.

Any pics?  Maybe I am missing how you plan/desire to mount it.  I can take some pics this weekend to show how it does not fit in front of the shifter, with the body inside the cubby and the face pointing straight up.

For the rest who have installed, I am curious what 4 gauges you plan to display on any given day?  Or are you installing it to monitor the bad MPG (LOL) ?

Not sure what you mean  by cubby.  I'm referring to the black plastic between the top of the shifter and the bottom of the dash.  I'll try to post a pic later.

Yeah....Backstopper consists of four bumper mounted sensors, a small speaker which lets out 3 distinct tones depending on how close you come to the object, and an led readout which tells you how close you are to the object.  My neighbors across the street have two little ones, my next door neighbors also have two little ones so the backstopper has almost become a necessity for me.

http://www.crimestopper.com/  just click on the backstopper link.
