Hey There!

I actually just pulled the trigger on a similar setup. Kiwi was really expensive compared to many other successful readers that are already out there.

On Monday i bought an ELM327 bluetooth reader off of ebay for $18 these have been used far and wide so I am hoping for good results. I couldnt find any tests on this platform however.

Anyways They make a wifi version for idevices. From everything I read they are pretty lag free. I will know in a few days and will report back. Also IMHO ipads look really stupid in our cars. I went with a Nexus 7 as it is hires, quad core, fast bluetooth and it sits perfectly flush in our top cubby hole.

Yeah I agree, I have zero inclination about mounting my full-sized iPad in the car. My car has nav anyway so the cubby hole idea is out of the question. I would be using my iPhone 99% of the time but I have been pondering for about 2 months now why Apple would ever come out with the iPad mini... Perhaps its intended purpose was to be used in conjunction with Kiwi Wifi, I wonder if it could sit flushly in front of the shifter over the climate control settings, maybe fabricate removable mount... hmmm

DR_ : how do you like the harry's lap timer app? Should I stay away from Dash Command?

Yeah I would be going the ipad mini route if they made it true 7" tablet. I was really let down by that becuase I was waiting on its release to make my decision lol. I havent measured what the size of that area is but there for sure would need to be cutting and relocation of dials and things.
