thanks

I have been using the DashHawk for a few weeks, and think it works as advertised. If you know what you are looking at (I don't), I think it gives you lots of info, and can help you determine the best tune for your car.

If you are using it for gas mileage info, I don't think it will have much benefit. When you are on the gas, it turns red, when you are off the gas, it turns green. Just as you would expect.

I mostly bought it for the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. It seems to work well for this, but my experience is limited.

It ROCKS BUT It's a dead product at the end of its lifecycle... I'd save your money there are betting things coming down the tubes :) And yes this is from the guy who did the Beta work with Edge, the GM params ect.. :)

I also bought it for the 0-60 time and 1/4 time but if I had to do it again i would save the money!!

I'd like to see a matching timeslip with a dashhawk pic before I get one.

They're not right on the money for timed runs but the monitoring of various parameters is priceless.

Exactly its just a tool, how you use it is up to you its not perfect for 1/4 mile runs but if you can repeat it its good for modification evaluation if nothing else.

True Tom. Almost anything you might want to look at is on there somewhere.

I am impressed with it now that I know how to log data. It helped confirm the engine knock problem I was having with the VMS tuned ECM, though we think now that the problem is a defective ECM. Having said that, the only reason I bought a DashHawk is to do the case relearn since I didn't want to go to the dealership and try to explain myself.

Defective ECM? Is it setting any codes? Defective E38's are few and far between!

I have several extras if you need one.

Actually, you can watch porn, but the screen is so small all it shows is stick figures.:p

Charlie has better ones on the advanced menu.

I use a dashdaq instead. I like the interface better than the dashhawk.

I got lucky and scored mine used off of ebay. $450 used. I am not sure if I would have bought it for full retail though.

Right now mine is priceless because I keep getting the headers code and am still waiting to do a tune. Other than that, I'm at a lose with it myself. I don't really see me using it half as much once the tune clears this code once and for all.

The Edge Insight? I am kind of pissed because they made a point that it will not support 64 bit, and the DashDaq is more expensive than I thought.
