I mounted mine on the left hand side of the centre console. Just used the sticky thing-o-majig that came with it.

Greg,

Not exactly a PFC Commander, but....

I've mounted my Microtech LT handset just to the right of the steering column, just below the level of the factory instrument binnacle. That way I can monitor the info real time with a quick glance down (as you would the speedo/tacho) or scroll through the screens with ease.

I've used good quality adhesive backed velcro that holds on like buggery! If needed, I can pull the handset off & hide it behind the dash.

Run the cable up the top of the kick panel, along behind the dash (cable tied out of the way) & then the only section of cable visable is the small length from just below the bottom of the dash to the H/S (~ 25-30cm). I got plenty of velcro & cable ties if you need any?

got mine on left side behind steering wheel on that panel where power fc comes above dash and covers most of the petrol and temp gauge

dont need temp gauge as got apexi mounted one and covers petrol gauge which is a good thing

who wants to c that

but yeh works wonders there easy to see ect

[R33-JET]

also cant c it much from outside and if u use double sided tape or velco u can put it on and off

Use to have my Microtech handset in the same place as

whatsisname, but...

Im not sure ill be so confident this time round with my PFC HC, theft is now a bigger concern, but also dont want to send up a signal flare to RTA/Police as its my understanding that aftermarket ECUs are illegal as the car may no longer pass emmission testing.

Ill be removing the handset or at least placing out of clear sight.

i lied, i sometimes mount the hand controller like so...

Roy,

It's a bit easier for me as my car isn't a daily driver. So if I am driving it, it's never out of my sight. Unless it's in the garage under lock & key. This has theft covered.

The RTA/police issue is of more concern to me. Hence the velcro to quickly pull it off & pop it under the dash.

My best advice - mount it with a solid, yet quickly removeable method.

mines the same as R33JET's

With the commander screen covering the water temp and fuel gauge. You can still view the fuel by leaning over a bit, and the FC commander displays the water temp anyway, so you dont need the factory gauge. I reckon this is a really good place to mount, as its real easy to view while driving.

oh, and velcro is also used, for quick relocation under the dash.
