I've velcro-ed a few to consoles (none in my own cars) for people, seemed to do fine, just clean the console up real nice with soapy water first. I usually keep my remote in the dash pocket above (or below, depending on which car we're talking about) the radio, or in the center console. Really the only time I use mine is at stereo competitions so I don't have to make SPL tests with my ears in the car, so its handy to have it free.
