Default Collins Monitor! and ECU control system!

Anyone else used these items yet? What are your thoughts?
Very similar to the Pectel monitor (reads from the ECU)

Been testing it for about a week now, with no problems or any differnet results compared to the pectel monitor!

Will add some pics soon.

It realy does work well.
Looks wicked and so slim!!

The only down side i could find is the fact that it has no way of being able to disconect the monitor from the loom once installed. If it were mine i would have to add some sort of plug for easy in and out fitment as it is a big wad of cash to leave bolted to your dash board

9/10 : ------ Pectel Monitor 10/10

Like you say gotta fit some kinda plug on it so its not left sitting around for anyone to have away, but other wise I'm well impressed with mine

Check this monitor on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...952318078&rd=1

To me seems like the same monitor but he's charging more money for them, £450 PLUS VAT thats £528.75 compared with collins charging £480 for the pro version or £381 for the standard version.

Madness

Ive had mine since September/November time too.

the only issue I have is it keeps reading a TPS fault even though Ive swapped the tps it still does it. it only reads up to about 87 for tps..is this normal?

With a bit of fucking about they do fit in the dash nicely:

(its not the best pic as it looks better in the flesh)

Stu - I was reading the old post there and you said you were working on compatibility with your closed-loop software... Did you get this finished?
