Unused Dash Space

love it. wouldn't it be grey if toyota made a shallow tray there with a flat bottom so you don't need magnets,velcro,whatever?

 

great dashboard! terrible center console.

 

I put my Scangauge there. I "temporarily" anchored it with loops of masking tape at the underside ends.

 

Prius is very much like the original and current Mini -- right hand drive in home market and left hand most everywhere else. So the instrumentation package goes in the center of the dashboard!

 

looks like the steering wheel is too!

 

I don't know if I can get magnets to stick there in the Arizona heat. Any particular kind or special adhesive?

 

How about this for the people without a HUD:

Why attach anything there? Any small accident and you have the object break free at 40 mph and hit you between the eyes.

 

What do you mean plenty of room on the dash

 

you do realize that for anything to hit you in the face that's on the dash in front of you, you'd need to be going in reverse at a pretty good clip and have a real sudden stop.

If you are moving forward and have a sudden stop the GPS will hit the windshield.

My two concerns would be having to make changes while you are driving. you end up having to reach through or around the steering wheel. Second concern... woudl be the magnets. Would they affect the memory storage on the phone or GPS.

That being said I'm going to use magnets on an old Garmin GPS suction cup mount for my i phone on my Cmax.

I have an aluminum bracket on my golf push cart with magnets on it... and I stick the phone on it while i'm golfing for my yardage app.

I figure I coulld stick some magnets to the garmin mount and mimic the golf cart magnetic mount.

 

I put Scangauge right on steering wheel with large rubber band so that I can easily monitor HV battery temp and fan motor speed with engine temp whilst driving.

looks like macrame' class.

 

All them wires all over the dash would drive me INSANE

 

Yeah a bit untidy but it works for me. I have to disengage the Tom Tom regularly for updates.

 

Thanks. Didn't even know they made such tape.

 

I put Tom Tom over on the A window on the right side,routing the 12v power cable across the lower glove compartment door and up alongside the front edge if the passenger door so that minimal cabling is actually on the dash,
