Genesis G Screen Installation Location

[EricStanley]

I installed the system over the weekend. I don't love the location that they show in their videos (in the overhead trim) so I'm looking for better ideas. It's currently stuffed in the empty compartment where the aux switches would go if it had them. If I could find a blank plate to put there, that would be ideal but searches have come up empty (well, except for one possibility but it seems that guy on Etsy isn't active anymore). Where did you put yours? Post pics if you got em.

That’s a pretty good spot for battery monitoring if you’re not going to run aux or locker switches. Lots of people on here are doing 3D printing so someone may be able to scan theirs and make something for you.

Other option for that is just get a piece of ABS sheet from amazon and craft one.

Another good place would be above rear view mirror. That plastic piece over it has very little behind it so doing a cut into it for wire access and some 3M double sticky could work. Not sure just how big the monitor it but if it fits in the cubby it should fit there.

Here's where I placed mine. Picture from a distance is my eye level view of it from the driver's seat.

It's down by the speaker.

Interesting. Is the ribbon cable long enough or did you make / buy a replacement?

Plenty long enough.

Very cool. Thank you. I’ll take a look at this.

FYI... Life is easier when the windshield is down.

Interesting… what do you mean? I’d have to take off a lot of shit to get that windshield down. I just ran wire up inside that side trim piece / grab handle and mounted a SwitchPros controller to the grab handle. The wire for the G screen is already in the cabin through the driver side pass-through and it seems like it would be pretty easy to get back into it again.

I just said it was easier.
