I was hoping to get one whilst on holiday, but my money went on other things! I still want one and from what I hear and read they are worth it.

Thats an idea Mick, get my bro to post one over!!!!.........but yeah they have great write-ups

I have one... seem like a good piece of kit. I've got mine tucked away in the glove box most of the time. Never got around to finding a place to fit it permanently yet (like most other things i get

)

Yeah, have to a ganders as to where it could be fitted......remove ashtray..too low I think.hmmmmmmmm

If it could be fitted nicely on top of the ash tray 'tray' it'd be fine.... I would like mine up high though. Running the wire up behind the pillar trim is my intention.

I've got one and IMO a bit of a waste of money

Plus side: It is a very cool gadget and tells you more than enough info that you will probably never use, easy to use and has some very handy features

Down side: I can't get mine to clear faults (it just turns the unit off!) it hasn't picked up a few self-inflicted faults (for the purposes of testing) that it should have and the speedo is never accurate no matter how many times you seem to calibrate it. Plus when you do get a fault you may have the code - but you still need to try and find out what it means!

I can think of better things to spend over £100 on

Water Temp, Oil Temp, MPL & Amp's are what i have showing on mine... All the others are showing somewhere in the car so why have them showing 2 places.

Only aout £60 in the US Ross.

I wouldn't have it otherwise. as like you say £100 is a bit much for it

You get a lot more info with one of these

But obviously you need a lap top to go with the system.

I have had mine for quite some time now and have helped out many
