I think right on the ledge in front of the speedo/tach is a popular option.

I love this idea but my clock and 4 way button is there unless it is possible to move them to the pass side where the coin tray is like the disco 2 has it

I had mine there mounted on a bent metal L-bracket for a while, but now have it tucked into the lower left windshield now. Great position, not super obvious from the outside either.

Do they not offer all mounting options any more?
When I bought mine it came with the windshield mount and the tape dash mount sticky two sided thingy thing, I used the window mount.

I have mine in a similar location. Mine sits just above the front fog light switch. I was trying to have it blend in with the switch cluster.

Just ordered mine yesterday... keoni004, that's exactly where I am going to put mine. I had tried to mount my phone/mp3/GPS right there but it's too cramped. Good to see the UG will fit perfectly there!

Electrical tape along the mount neck, then tuck it in by the a-pillar. Removing the fascia under the steering wheel (that hides the fuse box) and tuck the rest of the wire.
