Aristos Queue Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well, that's unfortunate... I went to take a look at the Kickstarter... got this message: Drive with Dash is the subject of an intellectual property dispute and is currently unavailable. No need to check the servers — the rest of Kickstarter is doing just fine. If you are interested in this project, please check back later. Thanks for your patience. Quote Link to comment
egraham Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 A while back I was using DashCommand in my car with pretty good results. The updates were about 1-2 times per second. I wanted to see smoother updates on things like RPM. I used it a few times to read diagnostics codes and reset my engine check light. Also, my car didin't display gas mileage so I would use it on longer trips to see what type of gas mileage I was getting at any given point in time. Linking to the bluetooth ODB2 transmitter was kind of a PIA because it took about 10-20 seconds to get it set up so it's not the kind of thing I would use around town or on shorter trips. Around town it seemed like it was another thing that could distract me and take my eyes off the road. California is really starting to crack down on smart phone usage in cars these days.

RnDMonkey Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I don't understand why the funding goal was a full $750k. Can anybody tell? This seems way, way too high given the project. Quote Link to comment
Phillip Brooks Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 There are some comments in the "Updates" section explaining why. I did notice in the comments that there is a similar product that is shipping: http://www.automatic.com/ Quote Link to comment
