Any thoughts, pro’s, con’s on AutoBlip controller installation location would be appreciated.

I see most mount them in the rear compartment of the console or the cup holder area. I went with the Xineering blip module mounted in the glove box instead of the AutoBlip. I put a rocker switch on the side of the console for an on/off switch.Any thoughts, pro’s, con’s on AutoBlip controller installation location would be appreciated.

It is more adjustable than the AutoBlip, but you have to plug it into a laptop to configure, so you can't adjust it on the fly. I thought set it and forget it would be better for me. I didn't want something that I would try and fiddle with when driving.Thanks. I’ll have to check out the Xineering module and compare them.
Just curious why you went with Xineering. If this is a rehash of an often-discussed topic on this f
KazarS197: Between battling stripped studs and kids’ high school graduations, vacations and college move-ins, I finally made it to a TNiA at Pitt Race 2 days ago. Thanks for all of your advice on the cold / hot tire pressures. They were pretty much spot on!Hey buddy! How's it going?!? Here's where mine went. Did a tad of micro trimming on the plastic console cover so the wire would not be pinched in any way. I like the ability to adjust because have been working on changing when and how I downshift. Had to turn it down a bit in-between sessions a couple weeks ago.

I was there too. Finally got a non rainy day.KazarS197: Between battling stripped studs and kids’ high school graduations, vacations and college move-ins, I finally made it to a TNiA at Pitt Race 2 days ago.

Once you adjusted it how did you like it?Xineering here. Installed a toggle and led light next to the steering wheel.
Downside is you need a PC or android to adjust. My first time at the track with it I had neither and because the settings were not correct, I turned it off for the day.

The Xineering install does look cleaner and easier.
Sorry just seeing this but I am still trying to figure out the setting lol. I just need to invest in a cheap android to bring to the track with me.Once you adjusted it how did you like it?
I don't recall the settings however I did have to turn it down. It was not a huge adjustment but now its perfect!Sorry just seeing this but I am still trying to figure out the setting lol. I just need to invest in a cheap android to bring to the track with me.
But while im here lol.... @Vettel-ish (or anybody who has a module), what settings did you settle on? I think I have my blip too high.
The Xineering blip module plugs directly into the harness without having to cut into the harness. The only taps are for power and ground. It has worked flawlessly.How hard are these to fit? Do you have to cut into the wiring loom?
I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. Probably won't be on the track till the pm on Saturday due to the rain. Hopefully it pushes through fast. Sunday looks great! I'll try to stop by.I finally got my Xineering blip module. Relatively easy install. Factory plug under the cup holders for an auto trans that I don’t have had the switched 12v and ground. Minor contortions allowed for the brake and clutch splice.
Question on the factory setting. I took it for a road test drive at non-track speeds and the factory default seemed like a large delta in RPM’s. I think track RPM’s should be ok. Does anyone have any experience with S197 Boss with Xineering blip modules settings?
I’ll be at a HPDE this Sunday.
Thanks!
