Just want to say... this community is awesome... you guys rocked the group buy, and have been awesome with making sure everyone is in the loop. I did end up tossing in free (optional) jb4(piggyback) connection kits that you guys might have noticed... those don't normally come with the gauges, but I figured you guys would like to have them :-)

Mine says shipped!

Thanks for throwing in the jb4 kit! This deal keeps getting better, glad to take part in this ! Thank you!!

My tracking number shows that it has left the local post office

And THANKS, RiXst3r, for the JB4 connection kit!!! It will definitely come into play in my car

This is how a group buy SHOULD be run - win/win, to the umpteenth degree!

Order #7375...still awaiting shipment

lieb923 · 11-05-2014, 06:24 PM

This will give all of us an update.

MrBucket · 11-05-2014, 07:27 PM

Mine came today, finished installing it in my vent and will go pop it in the car.

I had order 7363.

Anderw · 11-05-2014, 08:24 PM

mine came too!

MrBucket · 11-05-2014, 10:07 PM

Got it all done. Probably would have been a little bit easier to do some of the things had I not cut my finger nails two days ago, but still it was pretty easy.

abirmaher · 11-06-2014, 08:13 AM

Mine came in yesterday but no one was home to receive it :-(. Going to the post office to pick it up today.

zipphreak · 11-06-2014, 01:18 PM

Anyone notice if you have auto start/stop on that the gauge shuts off when the engine turns off. The car must turn off power to the ODB2 connector...

It dosent I believe. At least it didn't on my 1 series. But no I think it does not because I have seen codes read and such through that port with the car off. Although I could be wrong.

lieb923 · 11-06-2014, 01:48 PM

Shipped 11/06 USPS Priority. HTH!!!!

stevearmstrong · 11-06-2014, 05:16 PM

Got mine a few days ago and finally got around to installing it today.

I did not get it pre-installed in the vent.

For the most part it was pretty straight forward however installing the slats back into the vent was a giant pain in the ass.

Specifically, the small plastic piece provide to connect the slats together kept falling off and this alone took me 10-15 attempts before I could get it back together properly.

Looks good and everything functions as expected.

One note, the slats do not seem to slide as far left/right and up/down as the unmodified vent. I suppose this is to be expected as the cable is now preventing full range of motion.

The "on/off" circle control still seems to click fully open and closed so thats good.

Is everyone else's experience similar or did I not lay the cable down flat enough?

MrBucket · 11-06-2014, 08:08 PM

Hardest part for me was getting the replacement link for the slats to fit, I had to shave it down a little bit with a sharp blade as it was just too thick.

lieb923 · 11-09-2014, 04:42 PM

Shipped 11/06-rec'd 11/9.
Install update Mon.

horsepower_and_hounds · 11-09-2014, 04:54 PM

They attempted to deliver mine on Sat but the wife and I were in the mtns so I got to pick it up on Mon or Tues at the post office

sstorra · 11-09-2014, 08:51 PM

Mine was delivered today - just need to wait until my wife's car is delivered in early January to install it for her! The ship her car is on is heading for Savannah at the moment, a lot of sailing left before it reaches Australia...

lieb923 · 11-10-2014, 04:16 PM

I purchased the pre-assembled unit.
Hardest part was finding the OBD socket. (it's just under the dash in the drivers kick panel)
Be careful of the white air adjusting arm it's fragile.

abirmaher · 11-10-2014, 11:36 PM

Got my unit last week and put it in this weekend. Heres a little DIY I put together:
