This looks awesome! In order for this to work, does the Ktuner have to stay connected to the car?

Will leaving it plugged in drain the battery while the car is off or does the ktuner have an off switch to prevent this?

Of course it will, any electronic device will, but it does go to deep sleep.

Is the v1.2 dongle going to have a noticeable drain on the battery in deep sleep? If my car sits for 12-14hrs without being ran am I going to come back to a dead car because I left the dongle plugged in?
Not at all, we're well below recommended current draw for a vehicle accessory on the V1.2s. If you're leaving it for a week I'd recommend unplugging it.

you need the google play store on your fire.
I have read recently that you can no longer sideload apk files onto the Kindle. I would be interested to know if someone has done this recently.

Back to the mount does that support a tablet? I was reading reviews and it doesn’t seem to be that great? Also when using your kindle for the app what cord works best? I tried a regular cord in the lighter adapter but it doesn’t seem to be enough power.

So a bunch of you with '16 and '17 models have installed the TunerView Lite app on the headunit. I have an '18 and installed it along with Honda Hack Pro in hopes that the connectivity issues get resolved. However, I discovered that you have to bluetooth connect the headunit to the KTuner and then you loose Apple CarPlay functionality which I use all of the time. So then I saw that many of you are using tablets to display TunerView. Nothing wrong with that but they are big and take up a lot of space. I have an 8" tablet I could use but really didn't want to mount it to the dash permanently.

So I decided to use an unused phone and place it in the little cubby under the headunit in front of the gear shift. I can take it in and out as needed and the mount is not permanent. Works for me so I thought I would share some pics of my setup. I can easily switch views to get an easy monitor of what I want.

If you change the head unit back to "device" from host Apple CarPlay should function again.
