Hi, I hope you can help with a bit of product development.
There are two things I would appreciate feedback on;
1) The MK5 OBD functionality and
2) Suggestions for mounting options of the liquidGOLF for the MK5
On the first topic, my question is on whether the K-line is implemented on the various MK5 petrol engines, I have tested on a GT TDi and is was there , this means that the current liquid gauge will run on MK5 diesels. if you are not sure what it is, see my A3 TDi here
To test this you would need an old (non CAN) vagcom cable.
On the second, the liquidGOLF Mk4 was designed to be mounted in the side air vent, but many people asked for a centre vent option, so can you feedback on your preference for the Mk5 as I'm just about to get tooling created for the MK5.
The side air vent pulls out easily, the centre vent is a bit more work but still pretty easy.
See here

Thanks for any help you can give.

Welcome to the Forum! :drinking:
Looking forward to this particular mod and my vote goes for the side vent! :happy2:
-
What? I had a bigger screen on my hand held Donkey Kong game circa 1984.
Advances in technology, pah!
-
Cool!
I was only looking at this last night and wondering if it would work with mk5!
-
I to ohave been waiting to see when a Gokf MKV variant would arrive, side mount :happy2: Been toying with idea of getting Dashdaq instead.
-
Been speaking with awesome about this the past few days :laugh: :laugh:
How about mounted in the middle drivers side vent?!

Thers no pleasing some people, show me a boost gauge that you can do this on http://racediagnostics.com/images/pacman.wmv
-
Where are you based?
I'm sure there'd be a MK5 GTI owner close by :happy2:
-
I'm in Dunfermline but could meet up with anyone in the Fife, Edinburgh, Glasgow area.
-
I'm nearby if you need a MkV GTI...
-
freegeek, I see the 8P demo is in an oil burner, do you have a petrol 8P application? :smiley:

30mins south of Glasgow mate :happy2:

LOL, a clear tongue-in-cheek failure there. I was kidding... I would want it bigger though to be honest, but as a starter it has some good features for sure.

Thanks, I just emailed you.

I'm in East Kilbride most days if you are round that area.

Same problem as the Golf, every one I know seems to be driving diesels these days, its been tested on the 105PS, 140PS and 170PS A3s but no petrols yet.

I should have stuck a wink in mine, the unit in my car is the only one with pac-man on it as I don't want to kill anyone. :wink:

Hello and Welcome Freegeek :happy2:
Where you at the Awesome open day earlier this year by any chance?

If only you were a bit closer :smiley:

Hello and Welcome Freegeek :happy2:

Yes, I was there with our test driver, I think she should be fired!
-
Yes Steve and myself spoke to you briefly at the Awesome open day.
Have you a ballpark on cost as yet?
-
Prices will be the same as for the Mk4, £170 for the basic kit, £210 for it fitted into the plastic insert for the air vent or £200 for the CUBE hand held/screen mount unit.
-
Sounds good to me! :happy2:
So how far are we off with the MK5 GTI version?
-
Well, if I can meet up with the contacts above in the next couple of days and it works, I will make the KIT and CUBE available immediately, the air vent insert will be 2 to 3 weeks.
I have the KIT and CUBE up on the web site now for the TDis. http://racediagnostics.com/store/index.php?cPath=1_35
If it don't work, it will be about 4/5 months.

Hi mate. have been looking at this for quite sometime. Spotted it in the flesh at Star where jim went over what it could. Im in bishopton if you need a car at night or during the day your welcome to come to my work and use the car. im based in south street in glasgow right beside the BVT ship builders.
I think the centre vent would be good as i use the side vent and if you take that away there is nothing else there which is not the case with the centre vent.
Feel free to call on 07710433369
cheers

i knew something like this would come up after i had got a boost gauge fitted!!! ill look into it some more when it comes out. but it does look like a great bit of kit. As for where it could be mounted. there are quite a few people that have boost gauges mounted in the drivers side air vent. so maybe the centre vent would be best?

Thanks for the offer but it looks like I will be able to meet up with Altered Carbon who is a bit closer.
Cheers

How about developing this so that it can be integrated with the MFD2 / RNS sat nav screens? I would think the processing part would be the same but you just export the video via the aux connections on the satnavs?
-
i was wondering that, or even be able to integrate the info into a screen on the highline?
-
Basics first boys :laugh:.
Think we should sort out a group buy on this lovely little toy.

Looks cool to me, i would bne keen, though would be nice if the screen did fill the vent more or indeed if it could work on the RCD screen that would be awesome! :laugh:

:sick:
Bad news, the test on the GTI TSFI showed that it did not have the k-line so the liquid is not compatible just yet, it seems like its just the diesels and V6s that have it.
The CAN version should be out in 4 or 5 months.
:sad1:
-
No!!
:sad1:
-
Ohh thats not good news! :chicken:

Hi Freegeek,
Think i was speaking to you about this last month over email, I was hoping that when i tested my gti for you it was just my laptop that wouldnt let me connect but am gutted to here you cant get it to work on others to.
-
Nuts!
On the plus side, at least when you do get it working you know there's a good market for it, Is there a chance in the next 4-5 months there might be other product development like a bigger screen?
Cheers,
R
-
gutted :( at least you will have a load of people wanting one when they do come out :signLOL:
-
Anyone using a liquid in their edition 30 or gti, I'd be interested to know if they can be used as a replacement for exhaust temp/boost/oil pressure gauges or are they more of a gimmick?
Cheers

Watching this and the follow-up Group Buy!
