Even though I've had my PFC and commander for about 5 years (2003) I only used it for maybe a year or so before my engine completely let go. In hopes of learning to tune my own car, I decided to buy a Datalogit. I had seen most people who had Datalogits installed appeared temporary as all the cables and wires were run across the passenger floor. This would pose a problem for me because I wouldn't want a passenger to get tangled in the mess of wires and it just wouldn't look professional. In order to avoid this, the Datalogit had to be installed permanent but there had to be a way to interface with it using a laptop. Pulling the kick panel was one solution but I wanted something less cumbersome. I had seen a write-up from someone who installed USB adapters through the kick panel connected directly to the Datalogit. When they needed to access it, just plug in. Neat idea! Since my laptop (very old) still used DB9 serial connection, I would use this type rather than USB.
The commander mount I did was also someone's (David Garfinkle) idea that I though was neat and I added my own flare to it. I use a flex mount for an old portable CD player and an adjustable cell phone car cradle to make my commander mount. I welded a metal brace to the tranny tunnel to screw the base of the mount to. I ran the cable into the glove box and use it to store the commander when not in use.
