696 will work
 
I traveled to OSH this year in the back seat of my friends -8. I'm a six footer. I have a 696 that I'm installing in the panel of my -8 but it is easy to remove and use stand alone. I took it with me on the trip. I used the included R.A.M. bracket to mount it on the right side of the front seat tubular support structure. Worked really well. Very solid mount and was easily removed for stowage. Wasn't in the way at all and the larger display was a huge advantage.

My 696 is bolted to a flat plat that was modified from my former use of a 496. The advantage is little additional depth by eliminating swivel mounts, etc. This assembly is then thumb screwed to the corner of my 6A for easy removal.
