If you are lucky enough to have a car without a sunroof, I think the LCD box can be mounted in the panel between the sunvisors, tilted down about 45 degrees to be viewable. I just need to find a spare panel to cut up.

Well... I dodnt update this with the connections which I thought I had...

Most of the connections were taken from inside the car... I think there was only one that went to the ECU, which was injector info output...
