evanevery,
That is a great write up and very similar to what I intend to do when my V1 arrives. I hadn't considered the tape on the suction cups. I'll see how it works without first.

Regarding the OBD port (Valentine calls it Savvy), I have been told that the next BMW software update for 2015 will make a problem for us. If anything "non-BMW" is plugged into the OBD port the alarm will sound when you lock the door (I think that was it). I am still planning to go this route and will have to wait until the software update is due later this year I'm sure.

Glad to hear your success. I'm liking your idea of the concealed display option when the iPhone app isn't open. The other "negative" I have heard is that the iPhone app closes if you get a phone call or text and you have to go re-open it for functionality. Can you confirm this?
