Great idea here. Very clever.
I just ordered 3 of these.

Mine arrived today. These are really nice.

Now, I just have to wait for stern to ship my readers.
More feedback to come after they arrive.

My only thought at this time is that a clear cover of some type would be nice to prevent little fingers from poking in there when I have family over.

The clear coverings didn’t show up on the store for me. Did you run out?

Hopefully soon!

My Stern kits finally came in this week, but I’m headed to TPF. Hopefully I’ll install them next week.

JP Pro install from a pro kit.
First, I pre-installed the latest code to recognize the insider connected device.

Following the steps, I used the coin door mounts with the acrylic protector and ran the cable up to the backboard middle connector.
I inserted the provided micro-SD and USB Wi-Fi dongle.
It booted up, did some node board update and was ready to go.
Using a picture of the QR code from my first insider connected game, it immediately loaded in my network info and connected to Stern.

For a finishing touch, I added the small sticker to my coin door so guests playing my games can register if they want to try the connected experience.
About 45 min total.

Two more games to go, they should be much faster now that I worked out the kinks.

2nd game, Stranger Things Premium.

The back box board did not have an empty cable slot due to the topper. I used the only open one on the playfield, lower left close to apron.

Here are a few more photos of the steps to better clarify the process. This time about 20min.

The coin door kit is really nice and looks like it came from the factory.

Quoted from Gotfrogs:

Thanks for the post and all of the pictures. I have an insider connected kit being deliver to tomorrow and hopefully taking delivery of a Starnger Things LE to install it in next week! I will be mounting the reader in the coin door just like you did. Was there not a free node board port in the back box because a topper was attached?

Yes, the topper used the open middle slot. The cable provided in your kit was more than long enough to reach the one in the playfield.

Quoted from mattosborn:

The metal apron on the Stranger Things Premium has a mount for the QR code reader under the right-side card. I'm curious why you decided not to use that.

It’s just a personal preference for the coin door. The apron would be fine if it was my only option.

Added The Beatles today.
