Cheers Dave, I did want to keep the heater vents if possible, but otherwise there isn't anywhere else really to put it...

You could mount on a bracket in the useless tray above middle vents.

Or cut a surround out and mount it in the centre console. I just have a big empty cubby hole which wouldn't be missed...

Centre console would be too low to monitor properly I'm just getting Dave to knock me up a vent panel as shown. It's not like I do 20,000 miles a year in it.

Without having it in front of me, I'd estimate it at 150mmx 100mm. They aint small.
