accessport mounting location

Well, im not sure whether to put this here or in the interior forum, so mods feel free to move me.
Im waiting for my cobb accessport to come in the mail, any week now i hope...
for those of you who already have one where do you have it mounted? i was looking around my car for a good spot, but im not even sure how big it actually is.
so if anyone has any pics of where they mounted it, or any suggestions let me know
thanks

Do a search here or NASIOC about it. There are pictures of it out there.

The unit isn't all that big- or small, 6inches long by 2.5inches or so. It isn't meant to be mounted in the car. Its a hand held device that allows you to switch between maps. Plug it in under steering wheel, change maps, unplug it. I've seen some people keep it in the glove box.

It sits nicely in the area just in front of the ash tray, but I wouldn't leave it connected all the time unless you relocate the OBD port: the cable sticks out pretty far from under the steering column and could be a hazard while driving...

I agree, OBD port gets in the way. It is tolerable if you want to read live boost readings for a short while. If you are really interested in mounting it somewhere, revert the OBD port somewhere else.
