Xfaxman, pretty sure I'll have to go the external antenna route as the place I want it is not the window.

Well i didn't know what to expect since I don't have a smart phone or anything that uses AT&T 4G and we are way out in the boonies.

It upgraded to Version 1.0.1, but still has the 2 hour timeout. It was off this morning but when I picked it up the green power LED came on, followed shortly by the signal LED.

As long as I gently shake it before the 2 hour time out, it stays on.

You need to go in the settings and turn it to the no time out setting. If you ordered an adapter it should have came with a bunch of step by step instructions

Yep, did that, but "No Time Out" wasn't there:

Thanks for reminding me about the instructions that came with the power adapter. At the bottom of the first page, it says "try a different browser (chrome, safari and mobile browsers sometimes don't display it properly)".

Since I use Chrome, I tried MS Edge, and got it changed:

Does anyone have a definitive answer on whether the device can be connected to an antenna?

The issue of not seeing the "no time out" after 1.0.1 is a bug/issue with the mobley and browser. I had the same issue, and found info about it. I was using Firefox. I tried it with IE and the pulldown extended to "no time out" So if you have the issue, try a different browser, or a cell phone/tablet with chrome or another browser. It is ther, you just can't see it with certain browsers.

thanks - the adapter you are getting- would that be an antenna or the OBD2 power supply? some days on our present provider can only get some sites to work, Luckily TBN is the easiest and amazon otoh is sometimes darn near impossible.
Can't wait to get the Mobley still hasn't shipped from Best Buy yet... after reading their fine print says may take up to 4 days to ship
