I myself have been interested in the Ca-Fi 621000 unit but I find it very pricy compared to other units. Also the lack of support on the actual Ca-Fi forum itself makes me walk away from this brand.
I don't know if it's been shared already but I believe I have found a similar unit to the unit bespoken in this thread. Also the supplier gives me a bit more confidence as they actually have a bit more of a professional 'look' and mostly because they reply and help people on their forum.
They also have a nice overview of accessories and apparently they have some kind of reseller/dealer network so that might come in handy too...

Model TD610A
I have serious interest in this unit but unfortunately the leds are colored blue and the X's interior is completely orange/red...
Also the listed win ce systems on the website look nice, but I don't think these will support Torque? |
Yea, that's definately WAY more professional looking! It looks like the unit @
2forme is using. I'll definately have to check it out.
Torque only works on Android (as far as I know). As for the LEDs, learning to be handle with a soldering iron pays off. Replacing the LEDs in a head unit shouldn't be much different than a guage cluster - though it's a PITA.
On a side note, after looking through some initial documentation, I'm starting to wonder if it's worth-while to just build one myself. There are a couple companies that sell various hardware pretty cheap.
