Could you give us some details about how you powered your tablet? Where did you tap into to get 12V and how did you convert the 12V to 5V?
thanks,
Mike

Tapped into one of the Passenger Compartment Fuses that's on with ignition (same as my Valentine1), but don't recall the number.

Yes. You can do this on your own and not pay anyone. It's easy to run the cord across your headliner at the top of the windshield, then down the passenger front pillar area to the fuse box. Just take your time.

I love the concept of having those stats so readily available, enough that I’d drive 4-5 hours round trip and pay for that opportunity(which is how far I am from Jacksonville.) 😂

And can the gauges be rearranged? If so, I haven't figured that out yet.

I'm monitoring EGT, EOT, ECT, so far.

The 4 egt locations I think 13-14 would be the hottest during regen as they are after the dpf. ANd so far monitoring all 4 on my truck has shown that.

Just use Forscan Lite from the Google Play Store. You will need to set your Fire to allow non-standard installs and then download the Google APK's to install the framework for logging in and the Playstore itself. Then logon to your Google account and install the Forscan Lite APK like on any other Android device. I got the info and links to download the APK's from xda-developers site. Just search and you can find it. I didn't bookmark it but a quick search brought this up: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ama...-fire-t3486603

In the picture you posted above, it *looks* like there is a very short adapter (1" or so) - between the tablet and one of the two cables you're advising that we purchase.

Did you do something different in this picture? It actually looks something like

this adapter on Amazon

I have since given up on that idea, and I have replaced the USB mini cable for the tablet with one with a dedicated USB micro plug (http://a.co/fH25X1D), and that is what is plugged into the tablet 24x7 now. I decided that the tablet would stay in the upper left windshield area and that I would add a dashcam closer to the rearview mirror and not physically switch out the two devices.

Thanks for the update.

So the ONLY item you're using for the Fire tablet is the one in the link I just quoted? No additional cables or adapters?

Does anyone know of a list or spreadsheet that tells you what things (PIDs?) are located under what module? I started started scrolling through "all" and it was pretty overwhelming and by time I looked at the table with every thing I selected I couldn't figure out what was what... Mostly because I selected things as I saw them and thought "oh that might be interesting".

Would love to take a look at a list at my leisure instead of having to be connected to the truck.
