call the motor vehicle manufacturer if you are unsure

You can mount the computer/display unit behind and to the side of
the steering wheel or on the dashboard. The computer unit easily
withstands and remains accurate in temperature extremes. Dash
mounting the unit promotes safety; you can read the display without
taking your eyes o the road.
To mount the unit, use the Velcro™ fastening material or the
mounting bracket. Before applying the Velcro™, use a clean cloth
to remove any foreign material from the dashboard and bracket
face. Position the Velcro™ lightly on the computer/display unit and
mounting surface.
After the unit is in the correct position, press it rmly to ax it to the
surface. For the bracket mount, simply place and tighten the screws
on the mounting bracket into the holes in the unit. Then adhere
the suction cups to a clean glass surface. For maximum adhesion,
moisten the suction cups before axing them to the surface.
There are four locations where cables connect to the rear panel of the
computer unit. Two are quick-disconnect Ethernet connectors for the
antennas, a third is a nine pin DB-9 connector and the last is a quick
disconnect power connector.
