Looks good, is it easy to read while driving?
I put mine over the radio HUD.
What color did you use? Seems a good match to the ice blue dash.

Yes, actually it is very easy to read. I am 6'2" so the visibility is great in my opinion. I am not sure what the color is but it is the second color past the dark blue in the rotations if that helps.

My SG is behind the drink holder on the console so waaay too low since I have to take my eyes off the road. GPS wasn't available unless I wanted to order a FEH so SG will compete for dash space when the Garmin comes in on Monday.

How do you guys install 2 SG's?

All you need is a short ethernet cable and plug them together. I ordered a one footer online for $1.50 with free shipping. They lost money on that deal!

Ok, thanks Gary. I know how that works now. Cool. I assumed it was an OBDII adapter.

If you work for a large company, ask your Tech Dept. if they have any extra 1ft "patch cables" laying around. They usually have dozens of unused cables laying around. They are hard to find at a store.

I work in the IT dept and am one of the two guys that knows where the cables are and have even made them before so that's not a problem.

Here's a video of me at work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQ7RkyBoBc
