Default Psi3 location

I have bought a psi3 for the blob eye and was wondering if anyone had any location ideas. I have a double din stereo and a triple gauge dash pod where the clock used to be so the usual places are already occupied.
My own thoughts are to either try and fit where the ciggy lighter is or the centre cubby behind the handbrake or maybe place on top of the steering wheel column but that would mean removing the parking light switch or lastly the small drop down pocket on the driver's side below the fog lights switch.
If anyone has any thoughts please let me know :-D

My mate used to have his on the drivers sun visor. The front panel is only held on with a few screws and when removed is just a few circuit boards and they are flat.

He pierced a hole into the top layer and ran the cable up inside the visor along the top edge and ran the cable down behind the A pillar, down the side of the dash and back under the sterring cowl to the OBD plug.

It was at eye level all the time and did not clutter the dash.

Hope this helps.

Depending on what you monitor on the triple gauge dash pod you could remove them and monitor oil temperature and pressure in the PSI3 as well.
Then move the boost gauge to the bottom of the A pillar.

That's sounds like a good idea, did he just have the visor up all the time or was it at an angle sort of pointed towards the driver?

Do you know if the psi3 would be more accurate than the gauges and can you display both or multiple readings at the same time?
