At the same time, I need this info for racing at the track, or at an autocross... in an autocross the blower will soak up a lot of heat quick. They'll never let me keep the phone up on the windshield, not SCCA approved. Same goes for the drag strip, NHRA rules won't allow anything stuck to the windshield for both visibility and flying-object hazards. Understandably so, both of these things are pretty violent, a windshield mount just won't stay.

Didn't realize there was already an app out for OBD-II reads. I'm a bit concerned with the Bluetooth security of such a device. Does it require pairing and can stay hidden (not discoverable)? My car has never had a good spot to mount any aftermarket gauges so I've been looking for something similar to this. My previous car had an old Haltech E6K and I had used a craptop mounted to the center console and I miss the visibility into that sort of data.
I do autocross occasionally but mostly rally and rally-x stuff so I understood your need for avoiding the window mount. My vent mount passed several tech inspections (sans phone though).
