Valentine 1 Concealed Display - Best Location?

Does anyone have the Concealed Display for the Valentine 1 in their F10 M5?

I have been using it in my e60, mounted the concealed display in the instrument gauges, just in front of the fuel gauge.

I am wondering what the best spot for the concealed display is in the F10. I was thinking on the dash just to the inside of the A-pillar (this would place it relatively close to the HUD), or perhaps again in the instrument cluster. Though there is some computerized information which may get obstructed in that location.

My F10 M5 arrives to my dealership in early August, so I want to tell them where to place it.

Thanks,

That's where I have my Stir+ display. It's an excellent location due to proximity to HUD reducing eye movement to read the display.

Thanks a lot - unfortunately, laser Jammers are illegal in Illinois, so my setup will be much less sophisticated than yours.....

I like the mounting location of your concealed display, though for aesthetic reasons I will try to have it mounted so it is level.

What mounting tape/product did you use to secure it to the leather?

Beautiful car by the way.
