Griffin Powermate pics - let's see 'm guys!

My system is going in this weekend and I'm probably going to mount my Powermate on the center console. I'd like to see pics from others who are employing the Griffin Powermate to see where you've got yours mounted - and possibly get some fresh ideas! So what do you say?

Who's gonna post first?

Swapped it for my hazard button cause nosy passengers were pressing my hazards too often.

LOL!!! Know the feeling!

Nice install! Did you modify the base in any way? It looks like the lighted base is gone... or is it just concealed?

You using your Powermate for volume control, only?

Hehe,
The Powermate is kind of cool.
I just bought one but have no idea where to place it in my Beemer.

Ditto! I'd like to see what Alan did. I've been thinking that a piece of PVC pipe with a slightly larger I.D. than the Powermate's base's O.D. would make for a nice bezel to build upon... glassed or bondo'd into the center console, I think it would like pretty tight. EW! But it would collect dust!

how do you guys stick em on? I dont have a big enough flat surface to stick it on with double sided tape, and it just falls off.

How about where the iDrive knob would go if you had one?

Mine is just sitting on top of my ashtray cover... sorry I can't help. What I have noticed, though, if the bottom of the Powermate is wiped clean with a damp cloth, it resists sliding around fairly well when placed on a flat surface.
