just got my comp delivered yesterday and it seems kinda small. i also thought it would come with a bracket. which leads me to my question. anyone have any pictures of where they mounted thier edge comp? or any ideas?

I mounted mine in the ash tray. This requires cutting your ash tray up a little but it is very nice. Keeps it hidden from preying PSD drivers eyes. ;D

it's not like i use the ashtray anyway, sounds like a good mounting location.

Maybe those who have it mounted in the ashtray can make up some diagrams, patterns, pictures, templates if you will, and get them posted in the article or FAQ section.<br><br>Someone posted pics a while back, could do a search for &quot;ashtray and comp&quot; and maybe find them.<br><br>Then those of us attempting this don't utter some choice words and have to buy replacement ashtrays from the dealer. :'(<br><br><br>phox

A good friend of mine has pictures of this you can look at. I don't have his web page but if you go into members lists and look up jweir and click on jims truck it will bring it up for you.

I mounted mine on top of the steering colume and ran the wires behind the knee bolster and out between the colume and bolster.

I just used the velcro. Put it on the left side of the steering wheel on the knee bolster. Brake controller is on the right side... :<br><br>Tony

I don't have a comp yet but I have a question in planning where to locate it. How long are the wires? Are they long enough to mount the comp above the sun visor?

This is the slickest mount I've seen.
CCahill from TDR was building these.
It positions the comp just above the heater controls and it looks like it came that way from the factory.

Maybe I'm just wierd, but I don't see all the fuss about brackets and such. Like Tony, I just use the supplied velcro on knee bolster. I do like the ashtray idea though -- thats pretty cool.<br><br>consider too that you may want to remove your comp for a trip to the dealer...

By the time I get a comp and have everything hooked up, I'll be out of warranty, and be doing all my own work anyway. <br><br>-SFB

I cut out my ash tray and it was stealth when I was not needing to adjust it. Flip the ash tray down and ther it is!
