Huh? I suppose you told me that some time ago, but I'd forgotten. I'll go look 
at it. I can send you another one to try, and the wrench. I will verify that it is 
good before I send it this time.

I agree that I wouldn't want it stolen either. Can you throw a blanket or a pile 
of dirty clothes on top of it, or is it just true that in NYC they will break into 
you car to steal ANYTHING?

Yes, you would have to remove the ecu and open it and pull out the plug. It 
will only seem mysterious the first time, but eventually it will seem quite 
natural. It only takes a minute to connect the tester if the brain is already 
loose, but I realize that this is not something that anyone would want to do 
every time they went out to the car.

Think about what you're willing to do and let me know.
