If you want torque and a mounted N7 for relatively low cost, key components are as follows:

BAFX Products (TM) - ELM 327 Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light and other diagnostics - Android compatible:Amazon:Automotive

PowerGen Dual USB 3.1A 15w High Output Car Charger - BLACK:Amazon:Cell Phones & Accessories

3M 03614 Scotch-Mount 1/2" x 15' Molding Tape:Amazon:Automotive

Standard Phillips screwdriver
#00 Phillips screwdriver
Magnetic tray for screws (helpful, not necessary)
Wire Clippers
Rotary Sanding Tool
Eye protection and a respirator <---- the plastic on the cubby smells nasty when cut and probably isn't too good for you
Vinyl to wrap cubby (I used SimCarbon vinyl, but anything will work. Functions to cover gaps and anything looks nicer than the felt material on there stock.

Thanks for the BT OBDII module link. It's the one thing I don't have yet, and that's an excellent price

Also, I plan to use my iPhone for tethering the N7 while driving. I think upgrading the HU and speakers will be sufficient for my audio needs (meaning I won't need the N7 for music because the HU will do everything I need including store music).
