Question Where to mount

Anyone have any sugestions of a concealed but easy to get to spot to mount the 4 way chip switch?
Dont want to put it in the glove box and it wont fit in my ash tray.

Leave it tied up and hanging off the computer. You can't flip it while you're driving anyway and you won't see it up there.

The reason I say this:
When it's time to pull the chip(testing, service, etc.), you won't have to undo the nice wiring job...

But, that's just what I think.

Well, nobody else makes a 4 way

I've seen some people mount it in the glove box, or on the black plastic heater cover under the dash. Hell, I've even seen people sling it over their rear veiw mirror.

Im pretty sure what Rich meant when he said "You cant flip it while you are driving" is that you cant flip the switch while you are actually driving. You know kinda of hard to stay on the road and not crash while trying to flip a switch to a chip that has 4 settings .

Listen to this - a guy I used to hang out with had a 65 stang. On his way over to my house one time, on the freeway, he was on his cell phone, typing a message on his 2 way, watching tv(he had brought one of those little ones that you put in your kitchens in his car), shifting, and turning(taking the exit) all at the same time. To me, that is just a crash waiting to happen. Good thing I wasnt in the car with him...

where to mount

all good ideas, but being that mine is equiped with a Thunderform and does not have the overhead console, those are not options for me

Thumbs up

mine is velcro'd under the dash, next to the fuse box cover. it's easy to reach with the left hand while driving. you can switch to anti-theft, as your handing your ride over to the carjacker, or to nitrous snorting, full race mode, for the occassional "reving Elantra" in the next lane
