If I can't get a mount to fit the car I'll try the Ca-Fi KO head unit, but am leary of giving up the excellent radio reception of the stock radio.

Also the ODBII port on our cars can be troublesome, I recommend plugging in the ELM and leaving it there, plugging and unplugging multiple times reportedly losed the pins in the socket.

Better yet, get an extension cable like this and leave it constantly connected. That way you can do all your plugging/unplugging on the extension cable if you have to reflash or anything of the sort. Much easier to replace an extension cable than the onboard port.
