What's next.....

Obdlink will be here Tuesday.
So I will download app and work on mount.
Was thinking about mounting centered on top of dash or left of the steering wheel maybe off the pilar?
Was considering having dedicated power line run to its location so it can charge while in use...
Any thoughts or experience?

I don't like my mount (cheap plastic but it's pretty strong) but it's very effective in that location. Easy to see and reach. The reach part may be very important to you since you'll be dealing with new hardware and software. Torque has lots of goodies so you will want to play. It's not my dream mount but I haven't seen anything that is. This is a great inexpensive temporary solution till you figure out what you really want. I'm not a big fan of the center mount, I think it takes your eyes off the road too for too long. YMMV.

That's what I did. Pick a source that is hot on ignition so you get auto on and off. Works great!
 
I don't know how well the ELM works but I know with the MX, the tach runs like it is wired.  Outstanding performance.

Kinda off topic, and I don't want to hijack, but would it be worth it to upgrade to the Mx adapter over the cheap ELM 327?

Well..... I'm a sucker....lol
Brandon from LMS called me today. "Hey buddy, I know you wanted the cat back and DP's for the XSport, well we have the cat back in stock" me:" well, I was gonna wait until you have the DP's too and I really wanted the exhaust tips powder coated black", Brandon: " funny thing, I have Black Chrome tips on a few sets right now....." Me, " You Suck!!!!, I'll call in morning and set up payment and shipping"

Guess I'll have the exhaust next week. I'll install exhaust and nexus7 mount same day... And hopefully downpipes will be ready soon....

Congrats... Should be super!  Vid with sound when it's installed?
:please:
 
Gonna install exhaust, on Friday and the shark fin antenna overlay which is paint matched and think I'm gonna have a USB charging port installed flush into the driver side pillar near bottom where it meets the dash. Then I can plug in nexus for dedicated power but also any other USB charging devices..
Pics and vids Friday for sure..
