Fairly easy. I installed on a '98 STI 4. Having installed the unit low down on my other car I found that for the few false alarms that it gave it was quite handy to be able to see the display clearly so mounted it just to the right of the steering wheel on the Scoob.
You could just stick it to the dash but I found that obscured the tachometer/speedo, although the B2 does show speed itself so you might get away with blocking the view of the speedo maybe? Anyway, I made a bracket from aluminium and put this in a small gap near the steering column where the top and bottom sections of the dashboard plastic meet. Then mounted the B2 cradle on top of this bracket.
Main B2 wire then runs through gap near steering column and down into space above driver's footwell, where all the other wires have space to meet it. GPS unit mounted on back shelf and wire run under seats and driver's side kickplate. Laser detector mounted above interior rear view mirror and cable run down A-post. Power cable mounted in ash tray area with wire running out and back through ashtray compartment (you can't even see power plug when ashtray door closed). With unit in place you can't really see the bracket or any wiring anywhere - all done without cutting or drilling anything. Guess it might have taken me an hour or so, two at the max.
Hope that helps. I can try and take and upload pictures if you need them.
