Thank you!
Yes, very, very lucky... I think I used all my luck for 2014  :smiley:.

Any thoughts on the video overlay? Is it better than harry's (the RPM's sure are)?

Is the video recorded by phone like Harry's?

Thank you guys!  :notworthy:

Mike, it's a GPS tracker that has a CAN data add-on. That device is mounted inside the dashboard but this time I made it send information every 1 second (usually it about 30 seconds).
So no, no phone needed.

Sorry Mike, but no...
I am working on a product that is doing car fleet management (http://www.trackgps.ro/en/home/).
I modified the solution to see how it looks on the track.

The hardware device is something like this and add this.
I will take a photo when I have the time.

For quite a while I've been annoyed by the fact that I had the smokers package (I couldn't order the car without it; guess there are a lot of smokers in Romania) and that I was wasting some storage space... I could only fit a few coins in the ashtray:



So I decided to get the non smoking, open storage space:



Original ashtray vs new storage compartment:





I still have to get the rubber insert for the storage compartment (some mix with the codes and it didn't arrive at the same time as the other piece).
Very pleased with the mod since I now have additional space to put the phones, keys, etc.

This is the end result:



As you can see I still have the 12v socket.
The operation is very simple but moving the 12v socket from the ashtray to the storage compartment is a pain in the ass. I spent 2 hours doing this  :grin:.
So, one step closer to having the car just like I like it  :happy2: .

One of my most discreet mods is one of my favourites too.

Some time ago I found out that REVO has a new toy, the REVO SPS PRO to be more exact.
I always wanted to have a Polar FIS/ Fiscon E-MFA installed but the steering wheel control module not working kept me off.
In the mean time I've learned that I might need highline CCM so I decided to give it another go...
Even if the REVO SPS PRO is not quite cheap I love the idea of having more or less the same functionality as Polar FIS but also the possibility to change the software from the onbord computer.

But first things first, I must be able to access the comfort setting, so this just arrived:





I will be fitting the CCM this weekend and I hope all works well (fingers crossed).
Then, it's only a matter of money  :innocent: until I get the SPS PRO.

Getting something like a PolarFIS is well worth the trouble/cost. I rarely look at my board computer data anymore. I leave it in the PolarFIS+ Adv. screen and scroll to different pages if I'm curious about other sensor data that I don't have available in my 1st page. I've reduced the pages to 4 after removing my DPF which I had a page dedicated to. :wink:
