Cost about $65 and took about a week to arrive. I use NDS1 on my 8 inch tablet which I have mounted above the dash. Run it it dash mode (when not using google maps) and display about 12 items continuously. Or switch to data mode and record a log to look back on later.

I've got the same but the problem I've found is because the plug hangs out a long way I can't leave it in as otherwise I hit it with my leg

I have an auto and it would hang infront of brake pedel so I got some velcro patches and it now sits under dash with just enough slack to unplug when I need to reset. Added bonus is it also stops the small adater plug from coming out.

Yep.
Started at 1 1/2 bottles. Did FA. Then went to 2 1/2, the fan was fully locked the entire time. But my temps were 15c lower. I couldn't handle the power loss, and noise, I went 2 bottles. Better than 1 1/2 but still could be better i thought. So out it all came again and now I have 2 1/4 bottles in the hub.
I have found this to be pretty much the sweet spot for my setup. The temps still move a lot, but it drops so much quicker now. After doing 1700ks with a camper in tow for most of it, my temps never got over 100c, where as last time I did the same trip, I was seeing 115c on the odd occasion.
I do however have a copper rad from UFI and the G35 infinity fan on it too. I am now thinking of putting the OEM rad back in just to see if theres any difference.
