Think I'm gonna go ahead and order the Insight CTS for my truck. I'll probably do the A-pillar mount, but curious to see where everyone else is mounting theirs.

I mounted mine with the suction cup all the way at the top of the windshield tuck in as much as I can in the corner.

 

[TxFireman1972]

Is it visible from the outside of the truck?

It looks like the top of your windshield is tinted and your side windows are tinted, you won't see it from the outside. Mine you can see the suction cup looking at windshield because my windshield isn't tinted.

Got mine mounted in the driver "glove box" by my right knee. You cant see it from outside the truck so nobody thinks it a gps to steal...

Yeah I thought about that too. Just wondered how hard it would be to read down there. Really would like to see someone that has it mounted on the A-pillar.

I don't recall an A-pillar mount for the CTS. I used the window mount as well towards the bottom corner. It's easy to pull out for updates. The cables are hidden and looks more like a GPS where mounted.

Im assuming you could buy the autometer 13001 or edge 18401 pillar pod:

and then use the CTS adapter:

I ordered those parts yesterday so we'll see. lol

 

[TxFireman1972]

ok I ordered the two pieces above. Got them in today. Here are the instructions for the adapter:

Basically the adapter attaches to the back of the CTS and the the adapter snaps into the regular insight pod.

Here is the pod in the truck:

Here is the adapter snapped in the pod:

Now I guess I just need to get a CTS to see if it works lol.

How do you mount the a pillar pod? I have one and couldnt get it in there. I almost broke it. Do you have to remove the trim and grab handle on the a pillar. Thanks.

Yeah you definitely have to remove the grab handle to get it in there. No way around it.

I'm waiting for you to get your CTS too. I've been wondering about the same thing and if yours work then I'm ordering the adopter.

Thanks Rick

I tried the CS with the A-Pillar mount and it didn't work well at all, I am thinking you will be disappointed with the CTS in that setup. It is much bigger.

I am using the dash mount with my CTS now and think it's great.

I dont care for the dash mount. Thats why I wanted to try this. I may not like it either lol. We'll see.

I don't really have a good place, but this is where it ended up..

I also don't like a suction cup on the window, to me it yells come steal my GPS. I'd like to try mounting it without that mount directly about the vent so it sits a little lower. I had my old insight mounted under the dash last time on the pocket drawer.. it was okay, but sometime hard to read..

Mine is in the drivers glove box. Easy to read when open and hidden when closed. When I take long trips, I just uncoil wire and mount on windshield. When done, back in glove box it goes. Can post pics if needed. Let me know.

Would you mind? I've been wanting to upgrade to the CTS but I dont want it on the windshield. This is the only other place I've really considered putting it; but I've never seen a pic of one installed there, what it looks like, how well it fits, etc.

I'm working on a custom mount for mine. Project has been delayed but will post pics. when it's done.
