Heres the link. http://www.p3cars.com/mini/p3cars-mini-cooper-vent-integrated-digital-interface/

They make it look real easy to install and probably to most everyone but myself. I really want to have this installed before even thinking about the JB+

That's pretty cool. 

What is a JB+?

JB+ is basically a canned tune for the N18. It works without hacking into the ECU. Burger Motorsports puts it out. That is the best way this Fred Flintstone can describe it. I'm mechanically challenged. I tried to put in the P3 gauge and only ended up with my pulled out hair on the garage floor.

Haha. Hair on the garage floor is not a good thing. 
Maybe if you try throwing the P3 hard enough at the dashboard it will fuse together and start working.

Oh happy day. Brian at South Lake European installed the gauge for me. I was quoted an hour labor @ $108 per hr. Brian had in done in less than half that time and only charged me a half hour labor. I would have happily paid the original quote but Brian was having nine of that. What a great experience. They have just earned my future business. Thanks Brian.

OK, so how do you like the gauge?  Does it add further drain on the battery or is it completely off when installed?
I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Absolutely love the gauges. I like being able to see the oil and coolant temps to name a few of the items monitored. The gauges are off when the car is not running. There is a write up in the last MC2 magazine on the P3Cars digital gauge. Now I need to install the GP2 diffuser and NM torque arm bushings.
