    Alright TW, need your creative help. Where should I mount my switch pad? I had them to the left of the steering wheel but you can’t see them there and it’s touch screen so using turn signal hits them sometimes. I then moved them to the location in the photo but cause it’s a manual, I’ve found I sometimes graze my knuckle on them. Not a big deal but I want to see if anyone else has any great ideas! TIA

    How did you mount it? Did it come with a bracket? Mine did but It’s not bent conveniently for that. Easy fix with a vice of course…

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Headliner. Right behind the sunglass holder. Use Velcro.

    I agree, my dad's taco has it there. In a manual though that area is configured differently, not enough room. Pic from google.

    Not sure how much you use your cubby. I had mine here first then moved it. With it being a manual not sure if you have enough room in the center console 7DB4AE14-3EB7-448C-B66F-DC9393172F9E.jpgA54E2908-7279-485B-B4C7-641FF594E58E.jpg
