For those whom already have installed one of these, can you share pics of where/how you mounted the touch screen in your cab?

Hoping I can come up with an idea that doesn't involve drilling a hole in my dash (or at least keep it as discreet as possible).

Mine's mounted on the upper dash mount on the left side. I'll take pictures tomorrow when there's some sunlight.
 
Pictures of how mine is mounted. It blocks the vent a little but to be honest never really noticed a difference in cooling/heating. It's out of the way but very visible and no rattling moving of any sort. Plus if you need to replace that little upper dash trim that's an easy and cheap part.

I went with a Switch Pros entirely because of the possibility of a very clean mount.

Both SPod and Switch Pros do 95% the same thing, so in the end that was the deciding criteria for me.
 
So, I was thinking about trying this. Moving the wiper heater button up and attaching the bracket where the current factory switch panel is by either Velcro or a custom bracket.

Thoughts?

I moved the wiper heater button, you'll have to modify the dash panel slot to get the switch to fit correctly, but I got my sPod HD panel to fit over the switch slots

Not sure how it will work with the touch screen, but I love my setup

Thank you for sharing, I think this is an ideal place for them. I'm surprised Rago, sPod, or Cali raised hasn't fabricated a mounting solution yet.

Tell me about it... I've been looking for a solution for years

I used double sided tape, but I really want a bracket of some sort to hold it in place better
 
Got my screen mounted. I carefully drilled into the blank factory switch pieces and moved the wiper warmer up next to the dash light wheel.

Looks good, I like the mounting option. Wouldn't work for me though with my long a$$ legs, my knee would be knocking into that thing constantly
