i'd put it to the right hand side of the dash dials just above heater vent so its visable but not stuck in the middle or your dash.
the you just gotta feed wires through dash through bulkhead and red to + and black to - on battery. one i fitted was on mini (old skool one) and the other wire went to the - on the existing wires runnign to the dials
not quite sure on vauxhall tho sorry
