I was wondering if anybody has used the ScanGuageII with a BlendMount?

I'm thinking of getting one just want to see how it looks and such...

 

Is the blend mount the one that attaches to the mirror? If so, it'll be in direct sunlight and the owners manual says not to put the ScanguageII in direct sunlight.

 

Alon uses one with no problems.

 

I was thinking about getting one of those but i'm not sure about the price. So what i was thinking of doing instead is using some of that 3M super adheasive tape(grey & red stuff) and mounting it directly onto the bottom of the mirror then running the wire up into the headliner and down the a-piller. Just haven't gotten to it yet

*side note I put up a sunshade anyways whenever my truck is parked

 

Here's where I mounted mine:

 

lol your cb is in the same exact spot as mine. same cb too. but i dont have a molding over the top of the cubby

but thats where i'll probably mount my scanguage when i get it as well

 

and does the scanguage display kr?

 

Pics por favor!

 

ill get some asap lol
oh and i have almost the same CB. mine has the rf gain adjustment as well

 

here's mine... removed from my mirror due to overheating from southern heat...

 

I want the mirror mounted scan gage as well I think I would pick above the mirror rather than below the mirror, anyways I have been thinking about it for a bit.

 

I'm also possibly thinking about mounting mine on the radio insert kit pocket if its large enough right below my pioneer P5000-UB. Other then that or the mirror there isn't really any other good places to put it especially since i use my cup holders a cubby in the little console.

 

why is your bezel black?
i thought the newer ones were silver, mine is...

 

What did you use to mount yours there? Also do you have any pics of how you ran the wire behind the SG? I have mine mounted up by the gauge cluster for now.

 

Mine is mounted to my mirror. Due to the OHC it has to be mounted to the underside of the mirror.

 

No it doesn't, I had my SG on top of the mirror with a OHC.

 

Anybody have pics of the SGII with the mirror mount on top of the mirror w/o an OHC?

 

I fit my ScanGauge under the stereo.
I never finished closing in the edges, but it looked pretty good there.

 

You also dont have the blend mount. Plus it is kinda crammed in behind the OHC.

 

Ah yeah your right, didn't feel like spending 50 bucks on something I could do for under a dollar

 

if you mount to the mirror without the blendmount, you will still need an extension to reach the data port. Blendmount includes it in the kit. This is assuming you hide the wiring in the a-pillar.

The extension may be a radio shack product. Not sure. The point is this- if you end up spending $20 for the wiring, the extra $20 for just the blendmount with the wiring seems very reasonable.

 

now that I like :) I'm jut not sure about doing it on mine with the stupid bend in the plastic stereo insert kit that most of them develop. Looks like you have a different one.

 

Agreed the thing is nice but definetly not worth the amount I spent on it.

 

indeed. Now if it were $25 I would go for one of those mounts as well. It seems way over priced if you ask me

 

thats where mine is too
