I leave my IID Tool dongle connected permanently, and have never had a problem after up to a week of downtime, however, I do also have an aux battery.

This is correct. I typed it up on Tapatalk and it should have read "If left plugged in and connected to the bluetooth device the IID tool flattens the battery overnight."

Thankfully with the dual battery system it is simple to resolve the problem.

I need to purchase one of the 90 degree connectors and extension cables for the OBD port and run my tool up out of the way.

There's this style too which would probably sit flatter. Bit more expensive but the vendor was recommended by GAP to another member in a previous thread/post.

This is what i bought. Works fantastic. I ran the cable up under the panel and it pokes out just under the steering wheel giving me great access when i want to disconnect it.

Still need to stick it with a velcro sticky.

Thanks for the picture. How did you get the cable behind the dash BTW? Did you need to remove/loosen the panel or will it fit in another way?
