Hey Derek....

Was it tough to dial it in... I hear you have to really tinker with them (angles/settings etc..) What say you?

Not at all. You just stick it to the windshield with it's 3 suction cups. It doesn't take much to get it level. It doesn't replace a real time at the track but it seems to be the next best thing.
