    It's a little work but in my humble opinion worth it.

    P.S I'm very O.C.D about cables running in plan view.

    I got a universal GPS/mobile device mounting kit from best buy then used it to mount it below my aftermarket radio.

    This is similar to what I did except I found that the vertical mount for the ultra-gauge can actually slip down in between the cluster gauge clear plastic and the black trim on my 04. Then run the power cord back behind the grey trim to the ODBII port for a very clean look. It holds very well and no 3M tape.
