Default Vi-Monitor - possible GB

Looking to see whether anyone is interested in a GB for this box of tricks...

OBDII performance monitor, car performance datalogging & car diagnostics for OBD II port | VI - Virtual Instrumentation | Homepage

If so I'll get some prices

New Age 2001- only I believe (requires OBD2)

Nice bit of kit but a bit pricey, be interesting to see what sort of GB price you can come up with

I am very interested but I would like to see one in action first , followed the above link and watched the video expecting to see some real time footage of it in use but all you get is some rubbish video along with some 'music'.

I am picking up one of these units tomorrow at a cracking price through a local supplier (one of my work mates knows the owner quite well) and I will speak to him about supplying mail/telephone order.

When I spoke to him briefly on the phone he did mention a price lower than the earlier posted price but I want to confirm it with him before I post up any details/prices.

Sorry forgot to mention the price will not be dependent on a GB and you will be purchasing direct from him and I am just trying to save all interested parties some £'s.

Right I have picked up my VI monitor and spoken to the owner Rob and he can do the VI monitors for £275.00 plus p&p .

I would guess the p&p would be about £10 (to be confirmed) I estimate with insurance included in case of it 'getting lost in the post' which sometimes does happen.

There is a link below to his homepage, he is located in Tylorstown in the Rhondda Valleys South Wales and he is a cracking bloke and very helpful.

Draig Parts

Please remember this is a good saving on the RRP and on even the Scoobyworld price so please do not go trying to 'chip' him down further.

I had the last of his current stock but he will be getting more stock in shortly.

Sorry I did not mean to give off negative vibes , I do think it is a good unit and it really is plug and play , not much setup required and does what it says on the tin , I would definitely register it online and do an update before plugging it into the car.

As I used mine straight out of the box (typical man thing and did not bother reading the instructions either) and only when I registered it did I find out that more features had been added and will continue to be added as they develop the software.

How big is this item, where do you mount it? 3.5" too big for me... Looks like its the PSI device for me.

It is mounted off the windscreen just like a sat nav unit so that you can remove it.

got mine a few days ago and had a little play.
not too convinced, and at the moment im thinking it was a lot of money for this.....

but then again, i'm probably better of aswell reading the manual
