BlueDriver is one of my purchased vehicle-maintenance tools. The underbody diary shows how maintenance access and the conversion's mounting work shared the same confined space.

The item in my kit

Where it fits my build
While fitting the heater below the passenger seat, I worked underneath the van on the intake, exhaust, fuel filter and pump mounts. The black substance visible on the undercarriage was Fluid Film Black, which I had applied across the underbody while leaving the exhaust parts uncoated.
Much of that session was spent lying on my back. I recorded how cramped the space was and how tiring it became to hold my head up and work with both hands around the mounting points.

My build notes
The diary separates the coating already present beneath the van from the heater work happening that day. The photos are useful for seeing the available working space and the location of the lines and attachments.
The available space under the van affected the pace of each mounting task.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
OBDLink MX+ and Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ also connect a phone to the diagnostic port. Their app arrangements differ from BlueDriver's dedicated app, making software support part of the comparison.
OBDLink MX+ Diagnostic Adapter
This Bluetooth adapter links a vehicle diagnostic port with compatible software. Its phone and computer connections provide a compact way to view diagnostic data.
