Show us your tablet mounts
 
Let's face it, a 7 inch tablet is just about perfect for use with Torque or something similar. Not clear on the best mount though. Right now I have a suction cup mount that has to be stuck to the glass and the thing looks awful up there.
Show us what you're using and tell us how you like it and where you got it. Pics of the actual mount point as well as what it looks like from the driver's seat would be great.

I'm considering getting a bluetooth OBDII transceiver and the ol' Torque app. I've already got a case on my Note 2, so I'll probably stick some velcro to the back of it and stick it to the dash somewhere. <$1

Since no one else wanted to share, here's what I came up with.
I cut off the suction cup end of a flex mount.
One bolt of the radio served very nicely to hold it in place after I bent it to shape.
I nipped a small corner off the bottom of the radio trim where no one will ever see it and I was done.

I mounted the Nexus 7 dock on the lower part of the bezel and used a CD Tray Mountek mount to add downward pressure to the nexus to keep it in place.

Works pretty well for the most part. Connected an inverter to the outlet in the glove box, powered USB hub so it gets power from the pogo pins. Have since added mini stereo cable instead of bluetooth but need a better quality cable as some interference is coming in through the inverter.

for iOS you're going to need a wifi obd2 dongle.

Also the Torque app is only for Android devices. You need something like a Dash Command for iOS.

I used to have an iPad with 3G in a ram mount attached to upper nav pod in my forester. The ram mount arm made it fantastic for driver or passenger use.

But man. A tablet on the dash was too much of a temptation to use while driving. Had to quit using it.

Bought this for my son's WRX at Christmas.

they do good work.. learned of them a few years ago during my time at mp3 car playing with car computers, when they became THE source for swapping head units out for ipads..

but no, i'm not affiliated at all with them..
