    Not everyone is perfect at grammar or punctuation (me included, but) ...

    "Your only as good as the last weeks profit you made them."

    should read:
    -
    "You're only as good as the last week's profit you made them."
    -
    That statement speaks the truth.

    You got a plan for mounting it to the DMM?

    I just ordered an ultragauge, haven't gotten to installing my DMM yet, but was thinking of going with a female threaded ram ball and bolt through the bracket, or male threaded ball and a t-nut in the back of the bracket, and using a double socket with a ball into the DMM.

    Do these obd2 devices shut off when the truck is turned off? I always thought the obd2 had a draw when something was plugged into it

    Bluetooth version? - now that's cool - plug it in pair it to your Iphone and away you go.

    Question for me is: will that interfere with my Spotify ?... or connection to the head-unit for phone calls... ?

    Just to answer the original question, I ran the wires behind the dash, up the channel behind the A-pillar cover, tucked behind the headliner and over to near the rearview mirror. The window suction mount is hidden from view behind the rear-view mirror and the UG is above the rear-view mirror on the passenger side.
