think that there was a feature in one of the ford mags in the last year or so, but i don't get them regularly so cannot say for sure.

nothing on their website about them, strange

have you seen this?

HI .. You bet I have seen the IAW monitor, and it looks so nice.. I just wanted to compare with somthing.. ex Collins monitor. But I think it end up with IAW monitor. At first I had the Collins thing in my head because I bought a Collinschip just before the topic about IAW came up my second option was actualy stu´s chip... but suddenly we where 3 friends buying Collins.

But I am very in to this RP IWA monitor... very much!!!

the collins monitor uses the same datastream as pectel, so the IAW Monitor software should work with your chip

the plus of the monitor is that it's always in your car, but the IAW software has many advantages in terms of datalogging, scoping etc

MotorsportDevelopments will supply you with a CD i believe, or at least that is the impression that i got from the article in Fast Ford magazine.











the software is protected from piracy by being linked to one particular pc though. you have to send an imprint of your pc to the supplier, and they will then generate a unique code for the software to run on that pc. if your pc was broken, i don't know if you would get another code free of charge, as that could be abused to get a copy for a friend for example.
