I never did install any OBD on this PC and I don't have any plans to install one. I had it on my Grand Prix but I did not use Centrafuse for that since the software didnt include OBD back then. I used an OBD cable/software from OBD-2.com for that one. It's not the most visually pleasing software but it worked. I still have my OBD-2 cable but it only works with the software provided with it.

I'm not sure how everyone else did it because it took me a while to come up with an idea. When I was fitting it below the radio, I couldn't figure out how everyone put it down there but just cutting notches in the bottom corners of the board. I cut some off and it still didnt fit, so I wasn't comfortable trimming more. I stopped cutting the board and cut slits in the AC duct that runs to the back of the center console instead since I don't really care about those vents anyway. In the end barely any air leaks out of the slits. The bottom of the LCD just rests inside the slits.
For the top, I took 2 small "L" brackets, I had to shave the corners a little to get them to not touch anything, then I screwed one side of the L to one of the holes which held the compartments to the shift plate and zip tied the other side of the L to the hole in the top corners of the board. It's pretty loose in there but the screen never moves. In short, I rigged it!
