Install was a breeze and didnt take more than an hour to download. i installed it on regular/tow mode.

here's pics of the install






Power wire to fusebox


Ran power to fuse so it turns on/off with the key


with window mount. will probably get a different mounting option later.

Looks great! I am expecting mine on this Thursday or Friday and should install it in the weekend.

The mileage increase was calculated based on tank fills or the BD estimate?

Another question. How does the BD mileage estimate compares with the Jeep's computer estimate?

the increase was based on the BD estimate. Ill do it by hand when i refill. BTW what are you running for real time monitoring? I currently have mph,rpm,fuel econ, and throttle response.

Did not receive mine yet. Should be here by tomorrow or Friday and I'll install during the weekend.

Do you have a cold air intake? I have a Volant on mine. It gave a little more elasticity to the engine.

I only took a cell phone pic so far but have the same install as Randonizer. Awesome tuner. Got the job done. And came with some flashy digital real time gauges.

As for the gauge setup. I have mph, rpm, throttle, fuel Econ.

And I found this on chance since I don't read the manual. But you can change the gauge type from graph to gauge and gauge with graph. Pretty nifty.

Questions, while I (very anxiously) wait for mine. :-)

Do the mph and rpm match the Jeep's panel? Does the fuel consumption match the Jeep's computer estimate?

If so, how are the temperature gauges? Engine and transmission temperature? Since I have an auto I'll probably monitor the tranny's temp.

How do you like the driving coach? Is it really useful?

Another one. Is it possible to back up that micro-SDHC card so if it gets corrupted we just restore from the backup? I'm worried about losing the Jeep's factory setup.
