Also, has anyone found a different place to put the gryphon? I saw on another forum site that someone was trying to put it in the flip-out ashtray. That would be optimum since i would be able just to flip it closed and hide it...

There's no problem whatsoever with unplugging and removing the Gryphon if you're going to park it in an insecure area. I would actually consider this to be a smart move. Additionally, since it simply functions as a "monitor" once the PCM has been programmed, you don't really need it in the truck at all once the tune is loaded (but of course you would not have the gauge feature then).
Just make sure you turn the ignition to ON before you plug the Gryphon back in so it can initialize properly.
I've seen a mount for the Gryphon that puts it above the rearview mirror. I've forgotten the name of that mount, but you could possibly "Google" "Edge mounts" or "Gryphon mounts" and find it. The unit would be less visible there. And, I DO remember someone mounting the unit in their ashtray, but I don't think there's any commercial mount that's made for it there.
I think if your truck is in an insecure area, removing the Gryphon is the best defense.
