Default Garmin Catalyst mount C7

Looking for pictures and example of how you mounted the Catalyst in a C7. The Garmin is a whole lot bigger than I expected it to be. It seems to work ok with the suction cup directly on the radio glass but that probably isn’t good for the radio screen. I was thinking about some kind or Ram mount in the compartment behind the radio so the catalyst could sit just outside the radio location. I don’t need to see the radio screen when on track.

Consider a Proclip with magnetic mount.

Here is a short video from inside the car showing the Catalyst and its camera (the one with only one cable going into it):

Like the previous post, I put the suction cup on the windshield. The unit hangs down close to the dash. The camera is behind the mirror.

I don't have any visibility issues.

Citation, it is not attached to the dash, just riding low ; it is attached to the windshield via the suction cup, the arms and the magnetic mount (all in the box of the Catalyst).
