OFT where do you put it when logging?

OFT where do you put it when logging?

The best I have come up with is to hang it over the console. Would love to be able to see it. Any cleaver ideas?

I half wrap the wire around the e-brake handle and leave it resting on the console by the seat belt buckle.

If you check out my build thread (in sig) I have a review of the iMagnet mount that I use. I believe Shiv uses something similar but perhaps at a different location. I find the little triangle window works pretty damn well.

Yup, if you leave your cable taut. If you leave some slack, you can actually open the door.

I left no slack as I always unplug OFT after I'm done driving since it has no on/off switch. If it had a switch, I'd reconfigure my cable.

Aren't you guys worried that heat or sunlight will eventually damage your OFT? I personally keep it in my garage in a shelf until I need it. Would really suck if it broke and you needed to flash stock.
