Aha! Thanks for that bit of knowledge. I will be sure to get in touch
with them. I believe that Torque configs can be save/exported so once I
have everything done I'll email the list in case anyone wants to save on
the work!

Cheers,
Harry

It looks just like a larger gps unit but data logs,shows all sensors with digital gauges,bar graphs,dials,etc..it is very nice and I love being able to log every drive. I have about a years worth of driving on one little sd card. The downside is that I worry all the time about it being stolen. It's has two multi pin connectors that are on the back and repeated unplugging has slowly made the connectors loose over time. If I could only find a better place to mount it more hidden from a passerby view but still visible to the driver. I do love all the information it gives and the ability to program high/low alarms for all inputs.

I seen a Wrx that the owner mounted a tablet into the dash that was fed via blue tooth. Using the touch screen he could choose what ever type of display he wanted.
