Use Scangauge and Garmin on new Ford E-450?

have a 2014 Ford E350 and it has no trip computer or any other goodies. Power windows and locks are about it. I bought a suction cup mount for my Garman and put it on the windshield in the lower left corner. It's right there in front of me in the corner and doesn't block anything. I direct wired it right underneath there to the ignition. There are a lot of places right under there to hook it up. I am interested in getting a scanguage so let me know how it works.
BTW the factory speakers in the doors and elsewhere are real junk. Cheapest Chinese you have ever seen. I had them replaced with some Polks from Crutchfield @$75 per pair and it is all the difference in the world. Highly recommended if you want to listen to music or talk.

My Garmin came with a dash suction mount, but I see no where big enough or flat to mount it. It also has a 12v plug adapter to power it. Not set up for hardwiring as there is some antenna thing in the power cord.
Last year I was driving a new Ford van at work for 6 months and it had a computer in the dash. You hit the mileage reset and it moved you thru the menu of modes giving MPG gallons left in tank and miles left. Maybe that was on option that RV's don't get.
My scan gauge is great to have. Gives accurate updates of volts, water temp, tach, mpg current and average, gallons used, gallon left, transmission temperature and more. Hooks up to the OBD plug under the steering wheel. It also has an engine trouble code treader and reset function. I think it's worth the money and has more than paid for itself with money saved because of my lead foot.
The MH we are getting is supposed to have surround sound and DVD. I don't know if it's only on the TV or if the radio too. The radio has all these things like an equalizer and subwolfer, so I don't think the speakers are cheap.
