custom adjustable integrated V2 mount!!!
- Thread starter duratothemax
- Start date
any word on release date. Sorry, can't wait. looking forward to this I think as much as I was looking forward to buying EFI!
OK the finalized prototype is DONE and ready for production!
Ive made quite a few cosmetic improvements, completely cleaned it up, and integrated the plug/wiring much better than on the "proof of concept" prototype. If you look at it from the bottom, you do not see the wire running to the plug underneath (no channel for the wire), it is all molded into the base mount.
Shown is the "hardwire" version. There will also be the "plug and play" version which simply has an OBD J1962 connector on the other end instead of bare wires.
I highly recommend the hardwire version. Its much cleaner, theres no potential to knock the plug out with your knee, and best of all/most importantly, you can leave the hardwire version in the truck when you take it to the dealer (the wiring is hidden up in the harness, they would never see it), whereas if you take the plug and play version, the dealer would see the plug in the OBD port, or the plug dangling there. The hardwire version will be cheaper as well.
Installation is very easy; if you can wire a light switch or hook up a stereo this will be no problem. Simply just splice the wires (LB7/LLY guys only have 4 wires to hook up, LBZ/LMM guys have 8 wires to hook up) into the wiring that goes into the back of the OBD port. For the mount itself, all you have to do is remove the dash bezel, and bolt in the metal bracket for the mount, then snap it all back into place. It uses one of the existing screws in the dash; no drilling or extra parts needed. Of course complete printed instructions with wiring diagrams are included...
I have a couple made so far, but I want to get like 5 or 6 made before I start taking orders, which should hopefully be this weekend.
Anyway, here are the pictures of the "final" production model. Dont mind the scratches, the flash on the camera made it look a little odd.

Ben, Great idea. Are you sure you didn't graduate with a M.E.
I don't think he's a Medical Examiner
:rofl:
I'd buy what your selling :thumb:
I like the idea and may have to grab one when/if I ever get a laptop mount to go with it. I think that Vice with a superscript 2 beside the V would be a good name for it.
they are ready, im waiting for licensing/trademark info from EFILive...
as soon as I get that info I can start shipping them.

late nights on ebay always end with buying more than I planned...:rofl:
Found this little bugger for $3 and change for sale in Hong Kong...:rofl:

Nice Brian. I think I have the same one, Does the suction mount come off. Mine does and it has another mount that mounts anyway to the dash pretty handy. Mine was 8 bucks though
Yeah it actually comes off. For 3 bucks i though I was getting a POS, but hey, it works and can hold a lot of things.
