holy crap this rules

RiXst3r · 12-01-2008, 10:06 PM

is that a Magden M.1? (http://www.magden-auto.com/)

I had looked into this a few months ago, pretty nifty... did you end up using extra hardware sensors or are you doing everything over OBDII?

Looking forward to seeing some pics of it running on the screen

yes, it is. we are running our own interface, and running over OBDII. There is also the availability to add additional sensors as well.

Will it ever support non-OBDII data; i.e. BMW specific information?

I will be honest with you, there has been no discussion about this. Our goal is to get this OBDII system off the ground first.

Thank you for the honest response.

Looks cool as hell, but I need some education on this type of stuff. So once you get the data, what exactly do you or can you do with it?

Dr_Dirt · 12-02-2008, 12:44 PM

some actual iDrive pics would be nice

carl_lazlo · 12-02-2008, 02:14 PM

Looks great!

Question: how does it interface with the idrive in my 335i? Are there cables hidden in the dash somewhere. Since your company is in CA i would have to do this install myself.

NatesGr8 · 12-02-2008, 02:29 PM

it does look great but why is there a thread for a different thread?

As for the interface, i don't think it actually interfaces with the idrive, i believe it just uses the screen (taps into some wires) to display the obdII info. hence the need for an external remote/buttons/trackball.

I actually suggested an extra thread because people who don't use the New Posts button generally don't pay attention to Marketplace threads unless they're looking for something in particular

All pics and instructions will be included with the kit. The cables etc., will all be hidden.

The 'Data acquisition' is a really a wonderful device for the BMW car with iDrive. For non-iDrive car( like mine), I suggest two options for the display.

1) Use the radio screen. The radio screen support six item in the first level, and then every item can be showed in detail in secondary level.

2)Use the current avaiable PDA as the display device which use bluetooth to communicate with data acquisition device. That means you only need provide a application running on PDA.

I really prefer the option 1, since it is the seamless solution

The only reason it's not controlled directly from the idrive screen is because we don't have touchscreen displays like Lexus, which has one of the best display interfaces on the market.

If BMW did have a touchscreen you would access the Magden M.1 directly like a factory solution and not have to install any external remote/buttons/trackball.

Overall, it's a shame it can't be manouvered and accessed via the use of the idrive Wheel.
