No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationSorry no pic but I fitted one of these
The problem in the Jimny is where to put it?
First I just stuck it on top of the dash which was great until it got too sunny and it wouldn't stick.( the blue display was a bit bright at night though)
I then tried it right at the bottom between the centre console and the tunnel but my wife kept knocking it with her bag when getting in??
Next position was down by the gear lever but it wasn't easy to see at a glance.
I then discovered the ideal place.
I loosened off the interior light and trapped the mounting foot between the light and headlining and tightened up the light and it works!
I ran the wire behind the passenger visor then down the inside of the trim edge and the dash edge and through the main harness grommet in the upper left footwell in to the engine bay and down on to the chassis.
The mounting foot might need super gluing as the weight can loosen the pivot.
The wire is 2.6 m long so it's quite flexible on where you position it.
