So I want to see how everyone with the AP is mounting them (if you are, some people just unplug them) so lets see some pics and i'll have mine up after i make my trip to Surgeline.

Thanks all

 

Im interested in seeing them to. Im a little worried about kicking the OBD port though and breaking with the AP plugged in though getting in and out of the car. Ive been trying to figure out a place though. Be nice if Cobb would make some kind of mounting brackett

 

Yea thats what I'm saying. But i think we are actually a little lucky cause our OBD port isn't directly under the steering wheel like most i have seen are. And my buddy with an STI did break the part that plugs into the ODB getting in and out of his car but you can just buy a replacement...lame though

 

you have to have it plugged in at all times?
i thought once you flash you can take it off?

 

you can...but all those pretty gauges and other amenities that the AP has to offer should be proudly displayed!

 

So here is how I am mounting my AP
I like the position and its easy to use while driving
What do you think??

 

I have mine off, and will likely keep it that way. I just use it when i need to log or flash.

Will be getting gauges in the future.

 

I have mine mounted in the same spot. I have the usb wire coming from the OBD port to underneath the steering wheel. When I am done I just hang the wire on the windshield wiper control arm.

 

Yes, I'm concerned about this as well... I already had a problem with my first dongle... not sure what it was, but it worked the first night (but fit somewhat loose)... left it in the car overnight, and when I tried it the next morning, it didn't work... Luckily Shayne @ Cobb went out of his way to arrange a replacement for me...

 

the accessport gets its power through the cable right? meaning its not on batteries

 

^^right

 

Nice but I think i'm going to try and move the OBDII port so I can have the AP hooked up and out of my why I just need to see how hard it will be to move the OBD and I need to get a new AP for the one I just got was bad from the start

 

I had one in a IX for a little while, I would suggest that you buy a second USB cable and pull out one of the trim pieces so you can run the wire through the dash. I had mine zip tied to various pieces inside the dash so it would not rattle, with an end poking out at the OBD and the other end through a gap. I used the double sided, quick release tape that is packaged with the removable clothes hooks they sell at ACE hardware. It has a tab to pull to remove it and there is no residue, but it holds very strong. Mine held no problem at the track in 100+ degree weather for several days over the summer. I built a quick release holder later that came through the hole where I removed the battery gauge (out of a hacked clothes hook, it was hidden so actually did not look ghetto) but I don't think the X has the extra gauges so I don't know where you would put it. But the tape is good because you don't have to put a screw or anything permanent on the AP so it is easier to sell later.

 

Why would u leave the accessport out if you aren't logging and flashing? You don't need to show off at all times, please.

 

I dont believe they have it displayed for show as much as they do for the funtionality of the displays it offers: AFR and boost gauges. So please what?
