Whoa, some misconceptions are flying around here about the ca-fi unit.
First, @Brody602 - The Ca-Fi unit doesn't use a WiFi OBD2 reader. It uses a USB one (11$ shipped on amazon). I like this approach because it frees up the WiFi connection for a tether from your phone. And yes, it has dual zone so you can listen to music with everything else going on. As far as Jelly Bean goes... if you're only concern is stability, then I wouldn't worry at all. I've only had one incident of a force close, and it was because of a corrupt MP3... I tried playing the same MP3 on my JB phone and it crashed as well. You have to keep this in context. 99.99999% of people buying a head unit will never need Jelly Bean or any features of it. A LOT of people just say it has to have it just because they know it's the latest OS without considering if it would actually be used. Now, as far as the hardware is concerned. It has a 1GHz SoC with 512mb of RAM. This is the same speed as the HTC HD2 with more ram. They've ported JB onto the HTC HD2 and have gotten it to run, so I'm assuming it should support it. Oh, and the unit has 5V pre outs. Something a tablet mounted to the windshield will never, ever provide. @Sony - I don't know if/when a Jelly Bean update will be available for it. I've been told by the manufacturer that they plan on updating it *at some point* without any indication of when or what they are updating it to. But as I've said above, no one would use it anyway. So we'll see. I have a system image ripped from it and would love to work with @ProTekk on here to see if root is obtainable. |

My thoughts on how to start the reverse engineer process for the oil temp.
Should also be able to do similar with other sensors of this type on the car Basically getting just the oil temp to change without getting any other sensor to change so as to narrow down in the ton of data where the oil temp data is. Locate oil temp sensor.(I have heard its on the bottom of the oil filter assembly) Get a heating pad Heat up the heating pad. Using an infrared thermometer find the max temp achieved by heating pad Put key to position that oil temp will start being displayed, I think the acc or on position, I will need to confirm with my ecutek cable Start data logging Get a first temperature reading of the oil assembly without the heating pad using the infrared thermometer Wrap oil filter assembly with heating pad. Leave for about an hour to allow the entire assembly to get heat soaked. Take a second temp reading of oil assembly Review the data Find what data moved Now that you have the PID that is moving you must determine how the data translates into the cold temp reading you got and the high temp reading that you got That should be the PID and the equation needed for the custom PID in torque Anyone want to do the leg work on this one since I'm 2000k from my car?

You can use up to a 32GB microSD card, 32GB USB stick and it has 8GB of storage in the unit. I've used Be-On-Road, Sygic, CoPilot, and NavFree on the head unit. Settled on Be-On-Road for nav. www.ca-fi.com You can hit me up on PM if you have any other questions. I don't want to hijack the thread |

I've seen that is possible to import the Torque .csv file into racechrono2avi and get a video overlay of various instrument in sync with a video...have you tried tomething similar?

As it sits relative to eye level, the top of the nexus is slightly below the hood line. My Bro thought the same thing when he saw the pictures, but sitting in the car it is perfect

@2forme I've been slacking man, my apologies! Might be easier if we could take some time one day and discuss everything via Skype or something similar. Really uncertain if I'll be able to swing up that way any time soon.

Thanks for editing your post with an update of The pro clip mount, one more question, does the passenger have easy access to the H.U. as well? Without it being a pain in the ass anyways? (My girlfriend likes to choose the songs ;p) also got my Nexus 7 today and I'm quite impressed/happy :-) its my first android device ;D

I am currently waiting for my 7 as well. I decided on the 7 vs the Nexus 10 (for in car use). Didn't really feel the need to have something bigger just for daily car use. The 10....on the other hand....i can enjoy watching/ streaming vids with all its viewing pleasure. Are you deciding on the Pro Clip? Does anyone else have other suggestions for mounting (aside from the Pro-clip and Spartan65)? well then.... |

I was able to bring the Torque .csv file into the racechrono one, now I can make overlay instruments to put them on videos using Racechrono2avi.
What I still have to work out is how to bring more data, for example boost, on screen, as it's the throttle. Copying the torque boost column into the RC throttle column works but the scale and name are wrong (obviously) Also, do you know how to make the background transparent, is it even possible? Have anyone used RaceRender? |
