The kit looks pretty cool but I don't think I have the skills to build something like this...or maybe this will give me an opportunity to learn... I was just checking to see if there was one that was already manufactured. As for the battery, my idea was to have the option of removing the OBDII/Bluetooth connector to use on other vehicles. The Inventel device has a battery, plug for power, and an on/off switch. This would have been perfect, except that it's discontinued. http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=INV_BLUEAP Mike
