DB37 is for non-standard inputs and outputs. Launch control, switchable tables, wideband in, CAN bus, etc.

Why a DB style and not a circular? It all comes down to cost and time. Any circular connector that is made for a PCB costs $$$. Like $120 for the PCB connector (header) and then ~$50 for the plug itself. Too much money for the Basic MS3, maybe ok for the Enhanced. I could use a standard circular flange-style receptacle and then wire each and every wire from the receptacle to the PCB...not.

Again, you will NOT pass state OBD-II inspection with this feature. This is not what it is designed for.

This I like. Whether it's my minivan or pickup truck I run a OBD2 reader on the dash for IA temp, coolant temp, fuel mileage, RPM, checking codes etc. I'd love to have it back in the Miata.

Whats the eta on a model with this ODB2 reading included, and estimate on price?

That's a very nice looking case. Still waiting on that enhanced, though.

The final case will be a different color, this is just a prototype.

Would it void the warranty if we were to anodize the case pink ourselves?

You obviously have not done your market research of what the miata community wants. Pink cases > functionality.
