New Custom Clifford Alarm Remote Key and Fob. Got this idea from CleanSC (Jose):

All gauges are functioning perfectly and I have installed them back into the burl faceplate. I am organizing and soundproofing the wires and the plate will be installed into the pod in a few minutes. Here is a pic of the plate with the gauges:

Here is the unit installed in the car and a link to YouTube with them functioning.

Hello gang. Scott (MotorHeaddown/Gearheaddown),came by this morning to continue with tuning and he knocked it out of the park today!! He had been on a plane last week, and had some time to really RTFM the manual, so he got a very clear handle on the Autronic SM4, and was able to understand the previous challenges we had while he was tuning. He showed me the graphs that the SM4 displays, and he was able to map one out much like his curves on his AEM. So, by playing with the mapping on the graphs, and adding the tighter resolution where it is most needed before even getting on the car, he was able to upload it to the SM4, and it was heaven to our ears.

He got the idle down to 660 rpm, and it was perfectly stable. But since the car likes 750 rpm, which is stock, he bumped it up to that and it was beautiful music. The car hummmed and idled as if it just came off the show room floor. Not only that, but accleration was fantastic. the engine sounds strong, very strong. I also noticed the BOV was functioning perfectly. 

We could not go any further only due to the shimming of the BBK's. They are slightly scrubbing, so I have to tweak them yet again. Also, more importantly, the AFR stopped displaying, I think I may have a loose connection with the wiring to the 02 sensor, which I will rectify this week. At this point, while there is much to tune before getting on the dyno, it is exciting and promising. 

My hat is off to Scott Davidson, who knows what he is doing.
