I wonder if there would be any way to add OBD-II compatible interface to a motorcycle.
That would N800 a really cool replacement for the regular meters. And it could switch between navigation mode and the "dash" mode :-)

I have a meeting with the company who makes the car modules next week. Thankfully they're in Phoenix too. What questions would you all like me to bring?

Ah yes, Carman looks quite nice. It's been a while since my last post, but it's news like this that will drag the dead from their graves to comment on. Very cool application. Wasn't there a dedicated device that was shown awhile ago that performed a similar function? I believe I had a post about it somewhere on NET9. Hmm...

This looks like a really cool program. I can't wait to try this out on my car. Now it would sure be nice if my n800 supported usb host mode so I could buy a usb scanner and not need a firefly for an extra $100
Also, is there a way to switch the displays to the American units I'm familiar with? Or will they switch automatically after connecting to an American car?

By the way, here's the NET9 post talking a bit about it.

Hey First post here - HELLO.
How could I know if it will work in my old car ('94 BMW E34 520), and which module for the car do you suggest buying to use the N800 as my on-board computer?

Thank you for the link phatman81.
They say most cars after '96, but probably some before '96 are also supported. I'd have to do a research on that
