SHHH......Secret Quad Box with Gauges

Hey Guys,

I just recieved my Quad box and will be putting it on this weekend. I've had an idea for a while about where to mount the gauges so that not everyone knows you have it. I think it would be cool if I could mount it on the right side of the dash inside the power point outlet. Just slide the cover down when you don't want anyone to see it. Of course you would lose the extra outlet, but I would be willing to sacrafice. I am just wondering if the harness is long enough? Also is the LCD lighted all the time? You wouldn't want it shining through all the time at night. Anyone else have a cool place where they mounted it?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Robert

the 750's have a nice piece of plastic to replace the cubby hole and a nice piece of flat plactic were the air parking brake an trailer brake just make the holes a little bigger it would be perfect for gauges
