All -

I received the SDRIVE ETC today. Installed it cleanly in under 30 minutes. Followed the instructions posted here and in an Email attachment provided. Easy programming. Tried it multiple times to see if I can get a difference in voltage readouts - nope. Anyhow, again easy programming.

Bottom line, I calibrated the ECO mode to 3 and the SPORT mode to 8.

This thing is 'bleeping' AWESOME. I tried driving in my various 'test' areas and OMG, this unit is worth EVERY PENNY!

I AM VERY PLEASED.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

You got yours already, man, still waiting on mine. Must be on the slow boat. Sounds like it will be well worth the wait. I already really like my fit, but think this should increase the fun factor a bit.

Got mine today. Install is a couple of minutes, literally. Ran through some SP and EC modes along the range, including SP9 .

Thanks twpanson, I can tell already this is a must-have mod!

So, where's everyone installing the box and the display?

I'll have to take a picture, but I mounted my display between my cup holders in the center console on an angle where the dip is. It looks really good.

Hmmm... I hadn't thought about that spot. Was thinking of trying above the steering column, just below the mpg/trip odom display.

i know several people on the forum that have posted it up in the glove box. Of course you dont get to change settings as easy but it is VERY clean as far as interior looks. I actually plan on putting mine in the glove box. If you want pics of that i might get some and post em up for you or you can talk to J-Crimson and see if he has any pics...i got my idea from him and ill prolly be getting some help from him when its time to install.

To all,

We are encountering a bit of delay because of computer failure.

All orders will be postponed to ship on coming Monday.

Really sorry for this to happen

Sincerely,

It probably does, I ordered mine last thursday and got a tracking number too but if you try to track the package, it only says that electronic information of the package has been received. But all is good with me, I don't mind waiting a few extra days for it

Sorry for this to happen, our printer went down since this Tuesday.

Service guy agreed to come on Friday. That's the reason we have to postpone the shipping to Monday.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience,

Sincerely,
Panson

That looks nice! I like that location. Did you drill a hole and run the line under the console? I'm pretty inexperienced to modding, but if it's easy, I may be able to do that.

Yes, I lined up where I wanted the display to be, used a sharpie to a make a dot where the cable would have to run through (slightly to the right/under the left side of the display) and drilled a hole large enough for the cable/end connector to fit. I was able to take the entire black cup holder out by pinching/yanking, so I did this on my bench. I then used a little velcro to hold the unit down and some 'goop' glue behind it with tape covering the whole thing until dry. Then, I just ran the cable under the center console to the driver's foot well and popped the entire cup holder with display back down and wala!

Sweet, I'll do that soon. Thanks for posting the pics. They changed my mind on where to install. I like your idea better.
