It can go under the dash, just like the one in the radio.

sorry, 1 more question, the picture you posted there, does it have to be mounted on top of the dash for all to see and ruin the look of any dash top OR can it be hidden underneath the diablo dash top out of site??

Ron, this too is plug and play, nothing else required, but with a lot less plug. It is a GPS sender, it is not a speedo cable adapter that screws into the Audi tranny and has the pulse reader on it, that is old technology, and that is why this will work on any transaxle. A foot of wire behind the speedo and you are done, check the VDO catalog. Here it is on the top left, for scale it is about the size of a disposable cigarette lighter.

I do not mean to sound so negative, but this is going to be a tough sell. The VDO GPS sender which obsoleted this one is only $100 brand new, and it will work with any transaxle.
