On the floor in front of the passenger seat. Should be reachable from the driver seatquick release clasps are a good idea

Ive seen a few on that hump inbetween the rear passanger seats. Not really easy to reach from the drivers seat without some effort though...

Sure it is! Mount it about 5-6" from the end of the console on top of the back seat hump and it's very easy to get too! Plus, people constantly mistake it for N2O (mine is blue, always good for a laugh).

When I get around to it, I intend to mount mine right in front of the driver's seat. It shouldn't take very long to make a couple brackets that mount to the front seat studs on the floor.

I have one mounted upright on the center console - to the right of the radio and HVAC controls. Relatively easy to get to.
