I ordered mine when they had not yet been released, so it took a while! Worth the wait as it is a much better product than other GPS devices IMHO. You just need to decide where to stick the obtrusive lump!!

About 3" tall, 1.5" deep and 4" wide. Not flat like the Morpheus as it has a display telling you of speed, direction, road name (if camera present), type of camera, etc. Got mine next to the A pillar, but not sure if this is the best place.

Where does everyone else have them?

To start with I tried mounting mine discreetly, below the air vent on the far drivers side of the dash. Looked ok, trouble was if you have the radio on you can't hear the beeps and the unit is out of 'line of sight' so you dont see the red lights come on either.

I have found by the A pillar much better as you see the red light blinking out of the corner of your eye. I am considering trying it at the base of the screen behind the instrument binnacle for a bit to see which I prefer.

Hard to hide the wires and stuff, which is annoying but a small price to pay.

Cheers

Robin

I've got mine in the recess in front of the gear stick below the ashtray (MY00). I took the sliding bit off the stand and threw it away as it is too big, then stuck a big lump of blu-tak to the bottom of the remaining bit of the stand. I put a bit of velcro along the top edge of the Blue i unit and the other bit of velcro on the front face of the ashtray. Top job! Very easy to see on the move and quick to fit and remove. I have got the antenna on the back shelf and the wire goes under the front and rear mats.
