I supose thats where we differ. There are a lot of times for me it would be very incovient to carry around the empeg be it that it's left for 30minutes or 2-3 hours. This is why I wanted to have it hidden no matter if it was in the car or out of the car.

Granted if I did install it in the dash where it would normally go then yes I would get a blank off to put in it when I took it out.

Ordered the IR Extender and should get it Thursday/Friday and installed Saturday so we'll see how that goes. Just got my car back about an hour ago and loving every minute of it, god how I missed my empeg.
