I've had mine for over a year now and it is very helpful.

I had the same issues about where to mount it. Tried a little of everything before deciding to put it at the base of the windshield, in the middle of the dash. The whole purpose of getting it was so I wouldn't have to look down at the instrument cluster to pick up the RPMs.

I tend to look ahead when driving and where the I-Shift is now positioned, I can easily pick it up in my peripheral vision. It also minimized the exposed wires, as I ran the wires in the groove between the dash and windshield. YMMV.

Good Luck!

Regards,
Wayne
