Cobb Mount

sd306 · 03-05-2016, 04:06 PM

Hello,

Just thought I'd share how my Cobb is mounted in my car. I used this suction cup windshield mount and tucked the cord away: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IMJ...QzL&ref=plSrch

Tucked excess cord in OBDII port area.

Mine is mounted the same. But I suggest adding one of these:

It's a much more narrow, low profile OBD elbow extension that will allow you to put that plastic footwell cover back on. It was important to me to have this install look as stealth as possible.

Hopefully this helps

That's awesome. Where did you hide the point where the cables connect? (Obdii to slim obdii)

I removed the knee-height panel under the steering wheel (very easy....only 3-4 screws), and neatly wrapped the connections and tucked them away out of sight. With all paneling reinstalled, the only visible piece of wire is the connection into the accessport.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures at the moment...but let me know if you need one or two.

Was it hard to run the wires down the side dash?

They are just tucked under the rubber lip. You can lift it up your fingers or flat head covered in painters tape to prevent scratching.

The Cobb unit has a steel plate in the back and can be used with a magnetic holder

The price for that here in Canada on Amazon.ca is $43.xx !!!!! Only $12.95 on the U.S. site, what a rip off for Canadians.

Probably international shipping and associated taxes. Plus 5ish difference in currency.
