Default Chronograph placement

I was just wondering if anyone has come up with a good place to put a clock in their truck. I would for it to be illuminated for night time.

My truck didn't come with a radio let alone the factory one. I know that fords love to put the clock function on there. My aftermarket radio has a clock, but the button is hard to find, and it will only stay on for a few seconds.

Thanks!

Nope, mines in the radio. Lol

I would think somewhere in the center console, where you could see it, but have it not blind you at night.

Cheers,

As mentioned the radio has a poopy clock. I don't setup a GPS all the time, because in my area it attracts bricks through the windows to relieve it. And I don't typically use my cellphone while I drive. I was thinking about sticking this to my dash. Pure awesomeness. However I'd like something a bit smaller.

I have a clock on my windshield its one of them clear ones that you can see thru the only problem is at night there has to be a light source behind it like a street light or the moon.
then again get a watch with a light button?
if you are trying to put in a true real deal chronograph in save your cash only Porsche owners use them LOL
