I and a few others have seen this but no-one (AFAIK) on the mk5 section has one. One of the issues is we don't know what can and can't be accessed via OBD2 port, or whether it will work with CANBUS.

£200 is very cheap - awesome have it for £300 not incl VAT/delivery!

As well as the Vi monitor there are also the Liquid monitor and the Dashdaq monitor.

The current issue with all three is that they are not currently set up to work on the MKV GTI/ED30 with the Can-Bus interface and so are limited in the information you can retrieve from them. I know that Liquid and Dashdaq are working on a solution for this, but don't know of any information from the Vi monitor makers.

For me the best one looks like it will be the Dashdaq as it has several features that the others don't.

Customisable skins
Programmable interface
Larger screen

Is that with the can-bus interface working too? :undecided:

I'd doubt if it is, but I'd love to be proved wrong.

All 3 companies will get info of one type or another from the Golf, however it is the depth of information and how you can extract iy and use it, that I am interested in too. :smiley:
