I recently purchased an AP and I am looking for a clean mounting solution for it. Please take a min to write a brief description of how you mounted it in your car, pics would be a plus. The connector under the dash seems like it will be the hardest part, so I am particularly interested in that part.

I looked (searched here and in the tuning portion of the site) and did not see this info anywhere.

I bought a universal GPS mount from Wal*Mart.
I like it because you can rotate it 90 degrees and use a wide GPS (I have the TomTom 710 and it fits perfectly).
And the two holders at the bottom (in the pic below) fold in so it'll accommodate and cords coming out of the device.

 

thanks invasion, I saw that one (and the other one in that thread) but they don't show how the Cobb plug is mounted under the dash. I think i may have figured out what to do. I will prob end up getting an extender cable for the port under the dash.

 

I see that you have the Cobb plug in your ash tray. What kind of extender did you use? That's the part that really interests me.

 

I made a DIY for relocating the OBD-II port:

that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Thanks for making the DIY.

 

So, can I ask you guys what you think of AP, is it really beneficial?, and what are the gains you have recieved....particularly performance?

 

I think it was definately worth it. Infact the improvement (2 - 4) in mpg was worth it on its own. My car is stock other than the AP, so not much performance improvement. If you are planning on modding your car, the AP should let you take full advantage of all the mods. The only down side is that the AP seems to have stopped the car from running so rich (explains the mpg improvement), so I think it is going to severely reduce the life of the stock cat. Oh, well, I guess I will have to get a midpipe, win - win if you ask me.
