set up my new gadget for the Jeep

Dash Command application $15 with a phone (iphone 5s in dirt/water/shock proof lifeproof case) and just a jb hi fi cygnett phone mount is perfect on the jeeps dash $25 and a wifi elm327 obdII sender $20.
I always wanted an inclinometer.


A respectable 16 second run. How accurate this is I dont know 0-60 was 5.7seconds


Does a bunch of other stuff, diagnostics. Can show the voltage of the o2 sensor, Rainman in the injector upgrade thread uses that to guage if the injectors make some improvement.
my RPM gauge is unreliable so this shows me the RPM.
Shows coolant and intake air temperature
speed is a bit delayed to be useful and dosent account for tyre size so GPS is still more handy here.
does have some fuel monitoring features but i think it needs to monitor the entire tank to be useful.
shows the "load" on the vehicle, so going up a hill, towing etc
uses the phones accelerometer for information like g forces and inclinometer
quarter mile time and 0-60.

how do you think you'll go about wiring this one up ? ive also got some led reverse lights bolted onto the rear of the roof cage that i havent wired up, but not sure whether to run the wires full length of the cage and then down the a pillar like i did with the forward facing roof lights, or to go into the cabin via the boot. will you just have a manual on off switch ? or will you run them via a relay from the reverse lights?

also where did you pick the wax up from ? $39 sounds like a bargain.

--- never mind i found it in the SCA catalog http://catalogue.supercheapauto.com....5553fie9i.html

On an unrelated note: I'd be curious to see a pic of your engine bay to see how you routed the air intake from the snorkel to the TB

Look for a set of sport bumpstops with the reinforcing plates....

Always get caught by how different diesels are from petrols.
