I just put a piece of velcro on both sides of the ultragauge. (It came with two pieces of velcro)
And I am still able to access the buttons. ^_^

you guys getting the gauge from a said place or is everyone just googling it and buying it? (pending bnr) .
I was tryin' this yesterday. Not happy at all. Can't get the buttons, or the buttons press themselves when I'm trying to get it stick. AND the light sensor isn't seein' the light so the display stays dim.
But now I see, referring back to the pics on here, how you guys had tried it. BoG233, would be interested to see how you set up the bent piece of metal.

I can't see a spot to mount it that my steering wheel wouldn't block.
I know. But I'm hooked on wanting to know the extra info from the lil thing! The mount that came with it certainly works, but I feel like I can't leave it there when I get out of the car. It's too obvious and too prone to sunlight.

I'm just going to place my cell phone mount in one of the pockets and run Torque. I already have the OBD B/T scanner so a total investment of $20.
I think I may try this as well since I have an android tablet and phone.
If I find I don't like doing it that way, I'll look into the Ultra guage.
Of course, I'll run it in my truck until I get a sonic.. haha

I got a mount for gps at best buy that allows me to mount it by the a pillar and just ran the wire, no wheel blockage

The website says $67 without the mount
My monthly "status" messages from OnStar tell me it can't provide full diagnostics because something (my UltraGauge) is plugged into the OBD port. This doesn't bother me since I'm not showing any trouble codes and if I really wanted one, I could unplug the gauge and call OnStar for a diagnostic scan. The ability to monitor things like engine temperature and battery voltage in realtime mode leaves me feeling much more secure about the state of my car than a monthly report...
