Is there only one way to insert the device? Appears to be sticking out beyond the car.

It does extend beyond the car door. The idea is to insert it after door is opened when preparing to enter car. Use it to hold onto until seated, then remove and close door. To exit car, open door, insert Handybar, exit car, remove Handybar, close door.

I had to pull the radio out of my dash since the antenna cable plugs into the female antenna socket in the back of the radio. Some radios have a cable coming out the back of the radio with a female plug on the end to connect to your antenna lead. If that is the case, you may be able to reach behind the dash on the passenger side to access it. Good luck - it is worth doing either way.

I will check. But its in my wifes car. Ill let you know. It is very nice product. What vehicle are you trying to put it in? There is a lip at bottom that gives it strength. Hang in there. Ill get back to You when my wife gets home from work.

There is a small rubber piece that you can pull out of the way. Be sure to also route the cable through the little cutout on the "battery" portion of the adapter.

Hey Pete! I did a center mount on my c6. It's got plenty of slack in the wires, so that's not a problem. I would have to say though, make sure you mount it tight underneath to the top, mine is already smashed, I pulled too close to a parking spot curb block, so the mechanics on my device are broken. Good luck!

You can buy a cable to extend it. IE. I bought a cable and a female to female adapter (or was it male to male?) to extend it so I could run the cable away from my feet and thru the dash. The cable I used to extend it was a standard network cable I found at Radio Shack. It connects to the J1708 cable via the adapter and into the ScanGuageD unit.

There is a youtube video on how to strap one into a car. I have straped it in, though not sure I did it right.

I think I saw something similar that had the car jack part coming straight out of the socket part. That type would seem "Mounted" to me. This one has a long cord which I appreciated, because it allowed the DVD players to reach to the back of our van. There are no built in mounting brackets or places for screws. If I wanted to mount this, I guess I'd go with stick on velcro, or maybe those 3M Command strips?

I tucked my cable in the seam between the windshield and the frame of the car. I put a DAB of rubber cement several places along that seam to KEEP it in that seam and it is NOT visible from the outside of my car.

In the back of the head unit, via an extension if you want the device removable.

you need to place this device inside the car. The magnet is not strong enough to hold it to the body.

There are no instructions available anywhere that I could find. Actually I could never figure out where the secrews go so I "assembled" the thing by looking at the picture and using an industrial strength super glue from Lowes. I've had the armrest in my 2014 Nissan Versa Note for a year now and have had no problems with it. I use the forward cup holder. It really sucks that no instructions come with the device.

Unfortunately on the back. The device would need to be unscrewed.....or pulled away from the adhesive backing, which would need to be replaced each time. If you can secure it without the tape, a much better option.

You still have to use the mounting stand. This just takes it from the window and puts it down on the dash, out of your line of sight.

The black box can be placed anywhere behind the dashboard. My Avalon has a lot of room back there so I positioned the interface just to the right of the stereo and behind it. It can be hidden.

In my case, it stayed behind the head unit, inside the dash. Out of view and hidden. There's usually enough space for it to be wedged in.
