Well, you can stick a ScanGauge under the headlight control.

Does it have a real 70s J.C.Whitney feel? Sure. However, you can't see it from outside of the car, and inside the car no one but the driver can see it. In this location, the the left 2 columns (oil temp and water temp on mine) are visible to the driver all the time.

Not a perfect solution, and this location only works if you have Driver Assistance Plus and don't have the left hand storage box. Still, beats losing a vent or a bunch of dash to a phone mount.



Any idea if that would fit in the storage compartment for cars so equipped? That would be pretty slick.
