Im gonna be installing my PHP 6 position this week and id like to see some pics of where yall put your knob at. Id like for it to be in a discreet location but post up what ya got.
Mine is mounted in the large fuse panel cover. I drilled a hole in the cover and mounted it to the right of the steering column. It is not noticeable at all and is easily accessible to turn the knob. If I ever decide to remove it I will put a black push plug painted to match.
Mine is in the front outside seat bracket. Out of sight but still within reach without taking my eyes off the road. I ran the harness under the door sill trim and rubber flooring.
If you DON'T have heated seats, I've heard of it being mounted where the seat heater button would be. Be sure to ziptie it well, and leave slack for seat movement if you go that route.
I mounted mine to the lower metal support under the fuse panel. You can reach it easily by reaching down while driving and NOBODY sees it unless their looking for it. The best part is that you don't have to drill any holes in the dash. With this spot already there, you can remove it and there's no excess holes in the dash.
Sorry no pics of it mounted but here's the spot from the top. It's to the right of the fuse box. The knob is up inside the recessed channel if you're looking at it from the bottom. What worked for me on the direction to turn it since it's upside down from a normal dash mounting - turn right to "tighten" the hp down, turn left to "loosen" the back tires with more power.
I have pics in my webshots in my signature. It is a friction fit and requires no drilling. I painted the body of the switch to match the color of the interior. This way, if they ever make a better switch or a different design, I won't be stuck. I feel bad for thie people who drilled there DP f-5 into the dash, only to switch tuners later.
That is why I put mine in the removable panel below steering column. It already had two small holes in it so I have already picked another one up for $10 at boneyard.
yeah, he gave the break down of all the parts and a detailed instruction sheet. different thread i think. i'd like to do it, but all that wiring is a little much for me.
I put mine in the window control cluster. Right above the driver/passanger Window switch. Very easy to reach. Just ran the wire behind the door panel thur the rubber gromet right to the chip. Very clean took about 30 mins from start to finish
i bought a cheap quage from the suto parts storem busted out the glass andcut the back apart, took a peice of flat metal, cut a circle into it and epoxied it into th gauge from the back side, then mounted the knob there, then i drilled 6 little holes were the tunes were.
I didnt know you could make it light up...i think i am going to do that, put little LEDS from radio shack in each of the holes i drilled to mark the tunes....hmm
