Cheers mate. Thats what i was thinking, but was worried the hot air coming through the vent might damage the controller.

RA's are no problem at all. (Infact RA's and Spec C's are my specialist subject)

I'll give you a call in the week......

Don't worry about air vent, I had no issues....

I brought a Jap style Type S or something like it brand? holder and glued in to the required size.

Good comments from esxboy1, the other option is to unplug it.

Thats what i was worried about. Am going to have to hide it during the day, as my car has already started to attract a bit of unwanted attention in the car park at work. (An Impreza and 2 Evo's aren't exactly subtle when parked next to each other )

i cant c why you would want it on show,its pointless !its for one thing only and that is to adjust the fc, if its set up you should not need to touch it.either hide it away an forget about it or just unplug it.just seems silly why you would want to advertise you got expensive kit in your car unnesaserly day or night

Sorry it also allows to monitor the engine sensors...... quite useful for those that are testing etc.

Yep. Have been good checking my water engine and knock level. (Yes it is very sad i know!!!)

Have to agree with Essexboy30.

The commander is basically useless for remapping the ECU as it only shows sections of the map, making it very awkward to do so, but damn handy when used as a monitor, when I rebuilt my 2.5 engine, I used the commander to monitor knock, revs, boost and water temp, along with other gauges showing oil temp, oil preesure and boost.
Admittedly, the commander is a little cumbersome and hard to make it look tidy but IMO, it's a worth while addition.
When you get out of the car, it can easily be hidden

ok fair do`s for haveing a little gander to check this an that but does it need to be stuck on the dash.you cant exactly play about with it while your nailing it can ya!! an they they are ugly little things anyway

you're right there, it is an ugly unit, and a bit of a sod to make it look tidy in a road car, but on Andy Forrest's stripped out Impreza, with 2 Apexi's (one for fuel, the other methanol) mounted on a custom centre console looks great

seems a bit to much hard work for nothin to me personally but each to their own i spose.i could think of alot better things to do with my time
