Where to buy Dashdaq?

Hi

Are people still using things like the Dashdaq?

Where is the cheapest place to buy one of these from and having it shipped to Australia?

I want to monitor things like my inlet air temps, engine knock and boost via the obdii plug.

Regards,

OZZYAMG

Use it everyday (With dual Zeitronixs). Its my most important gauges in the car

I got mine from Needs Wings. GREAT customer support and best pricing. I am sure they can ship to you. Shoot Rob an e-mail

Sales@NeedsWings.com

Ya with zt2 is a great combo. You won't be able to monitor knock but timing, with that you will see if timing is pulled. Also know that the more parameters are used via obd the slower the refresh rate

Knock...


I have a Formula KS-4 feeding my Zieitronix AUX 1-5v input and I have that displayed on dashdaq as a slider bar below the gauges. Yep, it has an audible alarm too..

Sensitivity is adjustable. What I did: Made it sensitive and did some ward pulls to see how high of knock count I got. Then I set alarm just above that threshold.

So I will see 60-70 on display on a hard pull. I set alarm at 75.


Not sure it is worth the money and effort... But I did it anyway.

Was wondering since the timing from the obd is a pretty good indicator if there's knock, dont really feel like doing more electrical wiring lol
