nGauge mounting pics

I love it. It's awesome and easy to use.
Mine has a two prong mount. Because of that, I can't feed the wire through one of the holes making my suction cup mount basically useless. Am I doing something wrong? If it was a 1 prong mount, I could use the other hole to feed the wire through. Does anyone have pictures of the back where the Ngauge is mounted to the suction cup?
I dremeled mine it to make it work. That part wasn't well thought out.

+1..great gauge option, love mine so far and yet to use the datalog feature
any chance you can post a pic of exactly what you did to the back of it to get it to mount to the suction cup and pass the cable?
Yeah, but I'm out of town for a bit.
I basically drilled it enough to make the square part fit through, if that makes sense.
Thanks, RangerDLA, good pics and very nice car/combo there! Please do post pics when you can, gathering the info so as to "measure twice, cut once"

Black13GT500 - how hard is it to see the gauge mounted in the vent when you're driving? Does look factory that way also...any huge restriction on your A/C or vent air flow otherwise?

Black13 GT500, how much work is it to get the nGauge mounted in the air vent. Do you have to take the Dash apart? What holds the nGuage in place?
Thanks,
I have installed the nGauge in the EXACT same location and SAME manner just like Black13 GT500 – the gauge display visibility is VERY POOR. Trust me on this one – I tried it before and just do NOT work. Don’t wastes your time.
The nGauge will ALWAYS face toward the window due to the curvature of the dash panel where the vent opening located and the driver would have a hard time reading the nGauge in driving position.
In addition, when the sunlight is shining on the display screen, you would NOT see anything at all.
This is how I installed my nGauge into the vent on my 11 GT500.
I tried using ONLY the Roush vent pot but it did NOT work well. So I add an angle gauge ring that came with a gauge I previously bought. As you can see in the pictures, the angle ring gives an additional 20 more degree so I can orient the nGauge MORE directly to the driver while driving. The angle ring ID is 2-1/16. It came from a 2-1/16 gauge that I bought few months ago. What I did is I cut some 3M thin double side tape to mount the nGauge to the angle ring. Then use duct tape to secure the angle ring to the Roush vent pod - the duct tape is applied INSIDE of the Roush vent pod so it's hidden. It came out pretty nice. Hope this help

yes as Poisonous West its not that good during the day with the sun on it. I think at night its not terrible to see. I like the suction cup the best for easy viewing. AC is not as strong
I played around with the suction cup a little tonight and this is what I came up with...
Cut a small part of the bracket that clips on to the casing of the nGauge in order to pass the cable through
I ended up passing the wire through the vent going down to the ODB port. Hope this helps anyone looking to use the window mounting option.

I got my nGauge installed today. So far I really like it, I love the display screen. I still need figure more of it out, but so far its defiantly better than SCT.
I mounted mine in the A/C vent, But I put double sided tap around the hole gauge so I angled it towards me.

Does anyone make a pillar mount that will work with the nGauge?
None that I know of at this time. It's a big gauge so it will be kinda hard to make something to work

When is the next time you are going to be at the Pavillions? Would like to check this out in person...
