  1. I've been doing some reading and Dash Command seems to be well liked for the app side, there's some compatible "dongles" on their website: http://palmerperformance.com/hardware/ Check out Wasso's post (post#205) - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/92221-ipad-mini-install-obdii-dash-command-page-10/page__st__180 From what I've read, lots of people have had success with Amazon/eBay ones for between £7-£20 (other reviews show they can be hit and miss). If you buy from Amazon, it's usually simples to return something if you have issues: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?k=wifi+obd2+elm Then there's a bunch at about £60-£120, like - http://www.kiwiwifi.co.uk/product_info.php?name=PLX-Kiwi-2-wifi-for-iPhone&model=kiwiwifi&prod=PLX-0029&osCsid=0bbbec04605d280004739bd1cee84559 Then you start to get into bigger investments, the wireless dady appears to be - http://www.espautomotive.co.uk/smartphone-devices/obdlink-wifi-scantool-works-with-ios-iphone-ipad-p-57.html From what I've read, I'd say take a bash on a cheapo wifi unit for dash command. If it works, you're in, if it doesn't you're only £10-£20 down. Or go balls deep on a higher price one and hope they've done a good job!
  2. I like Orange That orange is perfect, much better than Dan's one
  3. I was thinking uprev tuner but I'm loathe to have a dirty Windowz machine in my world, I'm doing my best to eliminate tech support from my personal life and just keep it at work
  4. I bought the iobd2 reader and companion app, which was brilliant, until I recently had reason to suspect that it didn't pick up every code. Grrrr. So I'm on the look out for a replacement myself. You can't go bluetooth on iOS, so your looking for a WiFi one. Watch out on Amazon and fleabay as there's a few fakes (not even genuine fakes ). Last one I picked up was a few quid, supposed to work with android (I have a nexus 7 lying collecting dust), that didn't work either
  5. Some of the best (well fastest) customer service comes on the back of complaining via Twitter where you tag the company in your tweets.
  6. That's a sodding perfume! :lol: Lotus Chrome Orange, or Porsche Riviera Blue. Google them, then tell me I'm wrong. P.S. I'm not. PRB is just a poor man's Bayside Blue TBF, LCO isn't bad, if you're colour blind to the orange part of the spectrum
  7. Real, real fake, fake fake real?
  8. Happy to pay sky £50+ a month because they're not just a one trick pony, you've already mentioned Sky Atlantic content, not to mention Sky Movies. Exactly how am I better off as a consumer now paying more for the same content?
  9. BT was privatised in 1984, openreach wasn't formed until 2006. The 20 year monopoly in between is what has established the dominant position.
  10. Is this the official, "Dan makes me think of Rubber" thread? If so this rubber made me think of Dan when I was hanging out with NASA. MPSS, good enough for driving in space.
  11. You realise that that's not BT's fault, and that's exactly what Sky did with the PL to terrestrial TV? No-one's holding anyone hostage, it's a free market and you can choose to pay or not. I choose not to. If you have the internet, there's no need to pay BT to watch CL football. It's out there, you just need to know where to google. I'm not a fan of Murdcohm but that's not quite fair on Sky, the football was worth peanuts back then and only just starting to go mainstream off the back of Italia 90. They turned it into this "product" when no one else was that interested. Also they were a genuine market new entrant. BT (as it is now) aren't the same as Sky was then, BT have a stranglehold on infrastructure, which they didn't have to pay to install in the first place, it was paid for by the people. This has put them in an artificially strong position and gives them the clout to win the rights, not becuase they have a vision, or because they are offering something different or innovative, simply becuase they can name their price on line rental for most ot the UK (even if some people notionally pay line rental to other providers, they then pass it on to BT). It's a borderline anti-competitive position that has allowed them to break it up. If you look at OnDigital or Setanta, who had to get into the football the hard way, they've sunk without a trace, becuase they don't have the cash cow BT has and offered a less good product than Sky.
  12. Yeah, I know what you mean, if Sky hadn't chopped that lot off my bill I wouldn't have touched them. It stinks that they are in such a strong position becuase they've effectively got a monopoly on the copper gifted to them by the state, yet they drag their feet on nearly everything. If it wasn't for virgin shaking things up a bit in the fibre stakes, they probably wouldn't have gotten round to starting UK fibre roll out yet.
  13. I had a moan at Sky for keeping my bill the same but loosing the Champions League, the knocked £22 off pcm, nearly enough to cover the subscription to BT Sport. Think I'm £2 pcm down, but UCL is back baby
  14. That veyron one looks ok, GB anyone?
  15. I'm sure whenever I read reviews of the MPSS they are more durable than other brands, unless how many miles you get out of your tyres isn't a "real world" consideration.

  17. My '50 is GM (there's a small pic of it in my sig ) I have moments when I wish I'd gone for azure but of the 70s the black edition in black with the red interior is the one I really have a thing for.
  18. Youth hostelling with Chris Eubank? I think the LM blue edges it, but it's a close run thing.
  19. If isn't CG, it must be mag lev! http://arxpax.com
  20. I say, if you want it, it feels good, it's not too illegal and everyone consents, DO IT! Personally I'd be tempted to spend double on a Seiko Kinetic and it'll last forever and is "genuine" JDM YO!
  21. Seeing how much oil there was splattered about and it visibly dripping in the vid, I'd personally check the oil first thing again every morning before you put the keys anywhere near the ignition. If you've only put in 1 litre and that lot has been coming out for a while, who knows how much is in there.
