I'll post a pic of mine... I should have it in the car in the next couple of days. 
It's going center console under the e-brake handle. |

I love my powermate. Makes driving and changing songs/volume in city traffic worry free.
Btw, the e-brake is not touching the powermate, despite what it might look like in the pics.

In centrafuse, the hotkey for next track is something like ctrl-alt-right arrow.
I mapped that to regular click event for the powermate, and I have mute on the long click event. |

THANKS! I'll have to look into that for Frodoplayer.

It can be done with frodoplayer. Mine is set for volume up/down; pause; scroll up/down; play.

An even better question is what did you do with your ebrake! Or is it just up and not in the photos...(I have an RSX as well)
How do you think one of our AC knobs would work, I was thinking about that and could probably get one from a junkyard or something... |

 DANG! Could you be so kind as to take an "ALT/prt sc" of your Powermate settings and share them?

No need.
All you do is set your powermate setting so that each of the options (spin left, spin right, tap down, hold down, hold & spin left, hold & spin right) is set as a key-stroke. Then go into your frodoplayer keyboard shortcuts and set the keys you set for griffin as whatever you want to control.
The tricky part is the volume. There's 2 sets of volume controls in frodo. I dont remember which is which, but if you set one and the volume just climbs uncontrollably after the smallest griffin turn, you did the wrong one.
Drop me a line on AIM if you need any more help.

I also have an STi and tried putting my powermate there. But it makes it so hard to spin the thing while driving because the ebrake is on top of it. I put mine just to the right of where yours is. Right in front of the DCCD controls. |
