I have a ScanGauge that has voltage and other read-outs from the OBD2 socket. I mounted it above the shifter console. Sorry about crappy iPad photo.

Same spot as the others but went with an analog option to better match the existing gauges

How is everyone wiring it up? Keyed 12v or direct to battery with a relay that is keyed?
