why would you want to mount it? the thing is rarely used and it looks god awfully cheap. plug it in, do your business, put it back in the box.

To what end do you need it in the dash? The bulk of the parameters that improve performance are not user-accessible. Load any of your custom tunes, put the tuner back in the trunk or glove box and drive.

I remember someone had mounted an ipad in the stereo position, and now with the SCT itsx (bluetooth ODBII adapter), you should be able to access you tuning info and stats there with an android or apple device.

Yeah that's kind of ricer. If you want a live show and have an android tablet, Torque Pro uses a bluetooth transmitter on your OBD II plug.

Yea, or a MSD DashHawk.
Or a Painless Wiring OBDII interpreter.
Pick a tune and load it.

Adjust the parameters you want to and
then take it to the bank and store it
in your safety deposit box for safe keeping
(it has your OEM stock tune stored on it).

I believe the tuner box (glove box) would store it nicely...
