Ouch. Guess I can start looking at the Ca-Fi Dashlinq 695800. I can stomach $649 if it's solid.

Should be released in a month or so and they claim the unit will support OBD!!
In the teaser video they actually have Torque installed!

Also the screen appears to be capacitive and the UI looks really slick...

PLEAAAAASE make a universal model with red LED's!

Enjoy:

This looks real good. Very fluid & responsive.

That's a resistive unit mate!

Will be selling my Android HU in the near future if anyone is interested, already rooted and modified to fit dash w/ beat sonic adapter.

So much to learn about this stuff. Good news is I have found out the husband of one of the woman tat I work with is an IT guy and has rooted lots of android stuff so he might be able to help me.

That is good. I got mine rooted but it was still flawed.

Anyone looked at this one?

The supplier has responded to my questions about whether this unit http://www.xtrons.com/GPS-car-dvd/6....er-TD610A.html will communicate with the OBD2 or OB-LINK or can be rooted by saying
"I feel sorry to tell you that our TD610A doesn't support the functions you need."

It's pretty, and apparently made of "iron," but has a VERY slow CPU and half the RAM of the other units for a higher price.

I had a WinCE based unit that looked identical. It had motorized faceplate issues. It would keep the faceplate motor running whenever I shut the car off haha.

The Dashlinq uses multi-touch and comes pre-installed with Torque apparently. Shame it's not capacitive

You can't do multitouch on resistive....

It has much more powerful output... 60w vs the typical 45

Guess I should have looked a bit deeper. If it does multi-touch,then it has to be capactive. I have a message in to Ca-fi to verify the exact specifications. If it is capacitive, I'll eat $650 to try it out.
