I really like that it has a battery to keep it from cold booting each time. This seems like a really well thought out product. Does anyone happen to know if it has an accelerometer for Torque? I didn't see mention.

How would i know about the accelerometer? I've rarely used torque up to now. I can test if you want.

The battery for the cold start booting is fucking awesome. I left it for 24 hours and zing - it was on as soon i turned the key. Some OEM navigation units arent even that fast.

Go to realtime information and add the acceleration sensor x or y display and see if it's green in the list or if you are getting any data from it.

Thanks for posting this. I'm really tempted. A couple questions if you don't mind --

I noticed in your videos, several times it looked like the unit didn't respond to your touch. Do you notice that in regular use? I realize it's tough to deal with the screen while also recording the video, so maybe that's what was going on.

I don't suppose you've tried pairing it with an external 10Hz GPS? This looks like it could make a nice track timer if it can pair with the Qstarz or Garmin GPS.


Thanks!

yep you can easily do that in settings... or even turn on a screensaver interestingly enough

Honestly, I haven't had any real issues with it not responding - im fairly certain that was because I wasn't fully hitting the screen while talking and videoing the radio :thumbsup:

I have noticed the hardware home, back, and menu buttons are faster to respond... no idea why though.

I haven't tried any other GPS units - but it is a pretty standard adapter it seems. That said, the included one is pretty beefy and locks instantly.
