WVChris, thanks for posting the video. And I had the same moment in trying to test-fit the case. I finally figured out the insert had to come out.

I have to run out right now, but there is a video from Bob on how to assemble the stuff he sends you and put it into the 3D printed case you are ordering. I'll try to find that video when I'm back.

Thank you Bill, really appreciate your help.
So I don't need to do anything now Bob has me on his list, all good.

I have ordered the 3d print and the ligher plug, and I'm about to order the Vgate OBDII diagnostic interface - is that it? I don't need to order all the other stuff on his website?

Since I haven't done it yet, anyone who has could comment if there are any additional tips or tricks. I will mention that it took me a minute to wiggle out the existing ashtray insert to test fit the printed case. Kind of a 'duh' moment, but the insert was in there snuggly

Thank you WVChris, this is great. Now I just need to confirm the parts I still need if any

wsn03, that's it!

So far I managed to order the cigar-lighter. I have even figured out the 3D print!!! Still got a long way to go though

Been on the website and there is loads of items - so I got 2 questions

1. Do I buy everything listed there (I know I have to buy the Vgate OBDII diagnostic interface)? I am on Bob's list, so don't know what that means in terms of what I am getting versus all that stuff I don't understand
2. How do I sign up with Bob? I have been added to his list, is there something else I need to do?

Thank you

What you buy is (also see post ):
- Vgate OBD2 reader,
- 3D print (files are downloadable from my website)
- low profile USB charger
- electronics from me

The electronics will come pre-configured, so it'll be "plug and play" (sort of).

For anyone who is wondering what the status is of "round 3":
I'm still waiting for the delivery of the displays,
tracking info shows me that the status is "The item has been processed in the country of destination" since the 26th of November.
It looks to be stuck, so I ordered them again.
Delivery of the re-ordered items might take 4 weeks, so shipping out likely will not take place this year.

Thanks, Bob. No worries...we are getting our first snow here and so the XK may be headed for the barn soon anyway.

I see your mini-plug is like mine and not mini enough to allow the ashtray lid to close... Anyone have a lead on a shorter one?

After I took the picture I changed it out for this one...ashtray closes now...

Bill Mack 12-15-2020 02:39 PM

I bought . Allows the ashtray door to close.

fxdwg 12-15-2020 05:07 PM

I think I have the one arenaej linked to. It does not allow my door to close. The spring loaded button in it pushes the unit up enough to prevent the door from closing.

Plugs that fit flush are fairly easy to get hold of.

Here are a few from Amazon:












They all look pretty similar...

I think that's a great idea. Since my XK8 assuming it can be adapted to this car, is so small inside, the loss of one vent wouldn't matter to me. Any improvement to monitor engine conditions is a good thing.
