I don't have a digital dash but I mounted my tach on the radio pod on the passenger side facing me (the driver)...

Re: 5in tach with digital dash


This pic really makes it seem that the tach is in the passenger's way. But it sticks out as much as the swing out cupholder on the center console...

Its no different than looking down at the radio. Besides, I mainly use it for the shift light since my stock tach is not "too" far off...

Re: 5in tach with digital dash

looks pretty good. I think the only reason I didn't go with that location is because I still use the map pocket. why is the tach at 10krpm?
