A couple months ago, I picked up an ELM 327 OBDII reader, a Nexus 7 tablet, the Torque Pro App, and @
calispec's (Kyle) tablet mount.
As an engineer, I love reviewing data, seeing where everything is, how things are working, what can be improved and so on. So this purchase was a no brainer.
I purchased the tablet mount from Kyle as it was the cleanest mount that I saw on the market and it was the right price. He's also a fellow FSAE alum so it is nice to support his business.
The mounts are 3D printed and have no finishing process applied to them. So the finish you get is a little rough and has all the lines in them from the layers of the 3D printer. For me, this did not matter but if you want a good finish a piece of sandpaper and half an hour and it will be nice and smooth.
Installation was very simple. Kyle provided step-by-step installation instructions with pictures that were very easy to follow. The install took all of 15 minutes.
Ignore Torque Setup - it wasn't done yet
If the installation instructions are followed, the tablet snaps in and out perfectly with a single hand and is not going anywhere. This makes it super easy if you want to change the HVAC settings at all and you know it's not going anywhere if you take it to the track.
If you have big hands and/or big knuckles I would suggest one modification to the installation instructions. In the instructions, it tells you to line up the mounts to the edge of the trim which you can see in the picture above. With my big knuckles, I was hitting the tablet screen every now and then when I shifted and have had to change the way I hold the shifter to avoid it. There is still about 5mm of space that you could move the mounts back and give you more room. Just 5mm would make it just about perfect.
Overall, I am very happy with the mounts (Thanks Kyle!) and the torque app. If you like seeing what your car/engine is doing, this is a must have.
