Bought one of these...

[Foxy]

I took a bit of a gamble getting it from abroad but the service was excellent and he sells a fair few.

What a brilliant bit of kit! Well worth the money and it acts as a trip computer giving; miles left in tank, average mpg, current mpg, distance between fillups and so much more, as well as.... Intake air temp, coolant temp, oil temp, rpm, mph, MAP pressure, MAF readings and thats just what I can remember, it does so much more.

It also acts as a fault code finder and clearer.

I recommend it, no wiring jsut plugs into the OBD port and youre away.

Just thouht Id share it, might ask the guy for any group buy discounts if enough people are interested?

how much did it set you back as i might be intrested, can you clear fault codes with it?

It cost me £99 inc postage from greece. I did find them slightly cheaper from the USA but there may be compatibility issues.

I can list all the features of it if people want?

 

[RobDon]

Definately interested in one of these!

Definately up for one of these, does it just sit in the OBD in the little centre tray bit? You got any pics of it fitted? Does it definately do oil temp?
Cheers

I assume it's from here?

 

[smoothuk]

I cant see it doing oil temp - well it dont say it does. As for a lot of the other features, arent most of them already in the trip comp in the dash, and the others in the Climate panel if you know how to use it? Looks trick thou, sort of thing i would buy for added bling and extra guages.

I've seen this before and if I had a spare ton lying around I'd get one.

Bit concerned about how well it connects though, I find with vagcom the connector can fall out. How well does it stay in?

Looks good, would love to see it intalled, just to see how it looks!

 

[Cupraloon]

Excellent, has this just made vag-com obsolete then..

deffo want one, better start saving then...

VAG-com does a lot more than just clear fault codes so I wouldn't get one to replace it...although having all that info in front of you in a small box has got to be handier than setting up the lappy...

looks good to me, would be good if we good get a group buy.

would be cheaper i hope !!!!!!!!!!

 

[name__taken]

Do you think that girl comes with it??

Looks nice though, it could look good tucked in the storage bit under the centre console...

 

[richybigman]

Unless it does oil temp i'm not too bothered about having one.

 

[stuart86]
