Secs monitors are great value, as are the IAW monitors i sell.

Dont forget, SECS is teh only one that will work with ANY ecu software though, so it may be the cheapest if you dont already have the datastream in your software.

Dave.
afaik, no you don't. it uses the same datastream as the original pectel monitor. so you just need to have the code to output that datastream in your chip. if it's not there already, i believe that stu can now add it. RP Labs definitely can
