What do you put in the dash compartment? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I can't stand loose objects in my car banging back and forth through turns so that area simply collects dust for me. The only thing I would put there would be a phone but it's sort of an awkward place for a phone anyways. I have a magnet mount for my phone and it never moves in turns and it's easy to access.

You COULD put some toggle switches in there, though. They don't bang back and forth loosely! Just sayin!

Soy sauce packets

last gas receipt, business cards (Bond, automotive windshields) and cards for a car group I'm in (Misfit Toys car group) too.

My phone just doesn't fit (so I installed a floor mounted phone/tablet holder). Really, jack shit fits in that annoyingly small useless little dust collecting cavity. I wish they made it bigger so the average smart phone would fit in there.

Does that draw much power when switched off.

I've been hesitant of leaving one plugged in.

I can't vouch for others but the OBDLink has a ten-minute countdown to standby. It's pretty sweet.

I have one (OBD Link) too. It never drained my battery and I left it plugged in 24/7 until I got an OFT. It worked great for monitoring oil temp and such.

Most recent software update has a valve spring PID.

I guess it could just check your VIN against a database. What a novel idea!
