I purchased one as well. I don't see how the vent mount works with the ngauge.. I mount the vent mount to the nGauge back cover and I slide the cable through the side of the cover but in that method it's straining the cable and it doesn't clip on. Seem's like the best method is obviously through the back of cover but in that method I'm not able to mount the vent mount anymore because the cables there. Seems like there only should've been one tab instead of two to allow the cable to go through one like the windshield mount. Am I missing something?

What size is the nGauge? I've done some custom gauge pod work and might be able to work something up

Nevermind. I just ended up using double sided tape on top and bottom. Fits perfect and stays lol. So much for the Roush vent pod I ordered.. Won't be needing that anymore.

Mounts in the roush pod without issue. (Pic stolen from internet).

Make sure your on the latest firmware that allows mounting the SD card over USB.

Here's a picture of how it comes out with double sided tape. Save yourself some money and use double sided tape.

I don't see the difference with the Roush setup.. lol. I just have my currently set up for RPMs. I haven't really played with it. Do you know how to setup the LEDs?

With the roush pod do you have to dremmel it to make the ngauge for or does it fit without modding it
