I've been using this for a good while and it's very nice to see all the information (although I really ought to find out what the optimum values are so I know when they are outside that).

There were some comments about leaving it in earlier in the thread, and I had been leaving mine in as it doesn't get in my way so it's more convenient. BUT I noticed the other day that I could still find the BT id when the car was off so the device was obviously drawing some power. I had a flat battery a while back and I'm wondering whether this is the reason so I've now taken it out and will only plug it in when I'm going to use it.
