What do you mean they broke the I/O logging? That's the main reason I got the Pro interface, for blackbox data log.

Laptop Mount
I got tired of putting my laptop in the seat so made myself a mount. All of the RAM mounts systems were a couple hundred $$. I got about $15 in this one.
***Disclaimer*** HPTuners has broken the stand alone I/O logging for the interface box so that means in order to log AFR I have to have my laptop in the car. It's not for watching movies...

You would have to use the 2.22 version but it doesn't have support for the newer cars so either run two different versions or use the laptop to log.

With the new version of the HPTuners software 2.23.XXX Beta, the interface no longer logs anything through the I/O ports. Software won't talk to the chipset in the interface or something. Bill with HPT can explain it better.

Okay well I didn't like the base the laptop sits on so I broke out the $37 Harbor Freight brake and made me a better one. I still have to paint it and mount it to the pedestal arm.

Where did you get the cable that runs from the laptop to the car? And where did you get the software?

Yes very sturdy. The way I made the cradle the laptop sits in, I don't have to strap it down. I went out and made several nitrous runs and it didn't budge. May still be a good idea for safety reason should I get in an accident.
