Dash DAQ

Anyone using a DashDAQ?

Did you buy any options like GPS.






DashDAQ Series II from Drew Technologies

That looks VERY nice! I hope I don't start lusting after it! I already have a DVD with Ipod/Bluetooth and I have garmin nuvi gps.....But I may NEEEEEEED this!!!! I don't know exactly what it does but it has pretty pictures!

I have a DAQ and I highly recommend it.

It is a beautiful and extremely useful piece of equipment for an auto enthusiast.

The GPS software is somewhat useless though so I don't have that.

For GPS I recommend a Tomtom.

By that reasoning, a Porsche is a pimped-out Smart. They both get you from point-A to point-B just like both of the products mentioned give you information from the OBD-II port.

Totally agree with you....
It is just for that price you can get 7" Asus eeepc, OBDII to USB cable, software, car mount and have some change left in the pocket. With that rig you can do everything Scangauge/DashDAQ can do and much more, including wireless internet and full media player.

Could you point me to software packages to produce gauges with the OBDII-to-USB cable? I had never heard of the latter.

I also have a DashDaq in my Smart and love it. The "Performance" area is VERY cool - christmas tree and all for running your own 0-60 and 1/4 mile times (assuming the OBDII output is correct!).

I have not gone for the GPS package yet as I did not think it has gone on sale yet. They said 11/4 but last time I checked nothing yet.

It was pricey, but I found one in original packaging on ebay a few months back for $495. Sorry cube, less than the eeePC (paid $500 for that). At least both are Linux based so fun to hack!
