I really like the look of this one but not sure how good these are on the Can-bus cars as they can't normally get many of the data feeds from the ECU via standard OBD-II.

That was the issue with the likes of the liquid pod guage and the one that has a wireless device to work with the iPhone, however I believe the liquid pod guage is almost ready for the can-bus cars now  :happy2:

What I like about that is you don't have to sacrifice a vent and it's removable.

I'm very tempted to buy one.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I must admit
They do look good
The company have been good so far too , we have had stock straight away
But only 1 left out of the ones we had to start with
May have a word with a couple of the customer who have had them already to see what they think

I like this a lot, but I'm torn between the VI, the liquid, dashdaq or the Performance Box. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Does it have PB function like overlaying data to video? That'd swing it.
