    Same here. Not even sure if/when I'm going to get around to putting one in (though I think I will eventually), but I just love little doodads like this that let me do things without having to cut or splice factory wires or tear panels apart to run wiring!

    Thanks. I was curious for pictures to show which PCB he was using in the upgraded product. After seeing @TiredHands post last night, and subsequently taking a look at the image added to the Dongar website, I'm pretty sure I've found the new board on Amazon. It's considerably more pricey than the older board he had been using.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VQRTT2N/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=AN3QLT9N21E5P&psc=1

    Having personally built a couple of Rev-1 SimpleUSB clones, I would certainly suggest buying the device from Dongar. It's almost cheaper to buy it than to build it, especially considering the time and difficulty of working with the tiny pins for the connectors. Plus it seems Dongar currently has a cheaper price for the Rev-2 device than they did for the Rev-1.

    @flipnidaho was the included cable long enough to route from the rear windshield down to the center console?

    That is, I believe, the lane departure sensor.
