Had the dealer rewire both 12v power points to work off the ignition switch. Installed an iPod in the center console that will stay there and charge when I drive. Downloaded Harry's Lap timer Pro to my iPhone. This has all the functions of a dedicated transponder for $17! Now, just adjust the shocks, bed the brakes and I'm ready to go.

 

So now they stay powered with the power off? Sounds good, got a photo of your setup?

 

Yup - just sold a AMB Transponder for almost as much as I paid for it (crazy money!), good job!!

 

No the opposite, I wanted them off when the ignition is off so I don't drain the battery.

 

Good idea, I might not do it on the Boss but been thinking of doing that to the truck's upper power point for the GPS.

 

Ah I didn't realize they are hot all the time. Is your iPod visible or just tucked in the center console? I got my VIN today with a build week of June 6th.

 

Nice setup, I am actually working on a custom iPad dock in my GT (original idea from 5th Stang). Might do the rewiring to kill the 12v while the car is off.

 

Just tucked in the console.

 

Enjoy your Boss Dave .

 

I just had to ship my PZRacing GPS Timetronic lap timer to Italy because of a "Memory Full" condition that wouldn't allow me to navigate anywhere or clear the memory! I really like it because it's simple. Just logs lap times and top speed each lap, and the display flashes at you when you record a faster lap than any previous in your session so it's easy to read.

Anyone know of a basic lap timer I can download to my Droid X in case this thing doesn't make it back in time for my next track event in Mid-June? I don't think things happen quickly in Italy. I was supposed to have 3-5 day delivery and I shipped it 6/12 and as of this morning it was "Back in Customs" after "Leaving Customs" yesterday.

 

5 DOT 0 , if your BOSS gets built on JUNE 6th, you have to name her
'OVERLORD" the code word for the invasion of Normandy.
