Where did you mount your Scangauge 3 or similar?

Thought about mounting mine on the a-pillar but now thinking of moving it to the overhead map light fixture if I can find a 3d mount similar to the one below. Looking for suggestions on where to buy a mount (can’t find one on Etsy) or other locations I haven’t thought of yet.

If anyone were to take a guess would you think the 5th gen 4runner the most likely to fit or the gx470? I may take a gamble and see if I can make one of those fit in the location I have pictured above.
 
If you have a Premium/Luxury (whichever has the nav and CD player), if you don't ever use CD's you can use double sided tape, the good stuff, and place it there.
Personally, I never listen/use CD's. Everything I listen to is streamed via phone and Bluetoot to my head unit.
I know the photos aren't a scan gauge, but my HAM radio, but it's about the same in size. Just something to consider. Yeah, I also have my wireless phone charger on the cover of the CD player also.
The nice thing about having my HAM radio there is that with my hand on the shift lever while driving, it's easy to push buttons. Since my hand is resting on shift lever to keep it steady, my fingers aren't bouncing around trying to push a little screen button.

Here's his thread where he shows all the builds/mounts for things: Ben3DBuild

I run his SG2 overhead mount in my GX470. Pop in there and see what he's got. I messaged with him on Instagram before I even knew that thread existed.
I found him last night and saw he was a mud member. Messaged him last night.

Update****
He contacted me and I’m going to mail him the console or whatever he needs to produce the part.

I have an Ohana Rig Supply mount available for sale. If anyone wants to buy it from me, let me know.
Considering I'm in San Clemente, about 20 minutes south of you, I may be interested. I'm on the Ohana website but don't see anything that is specifically :Rig Supply Mount" Do you have some photos and description of what exactly it is and/or where it mounts?

If you click the link in his post it should take you to the mount he is referring. I considered that one myself.
