Not quite, is defo premium though.

Was on my list of things this year, which has shortened considerably as a result of an unplanned gearbox refresh.

The unit itself isn't "too" bad, but when you start adding the cost of looms and sensors, it starts getting a little steep.

They look awesome though, really good quality smile

Costs are:- 5" - £1554, 7" - £1710, pressure sensors - £150, temp sensors - £78, cables for sensors - £30 all including vat. The sensors work on on 0-5 volts. Also has a connection to the ECU. I haven't sorted out what you can get from the ECU and what sensors you need yet but intend to go and visit them as they are only in Stoke.

thats a lot of money for a dash

if you have odb2 connection a colour dash can be mounted within an idpad for a fraction of that

That's not comparing apples with apples is it smile

You could apply the same logic to our cars. You can get kits for a lot less with little 1 litre engines etc....

I also use Harrys lap timer on my ipad mini - so not only whatever dash I want with lots available but also lap times and constant updates + or - when doing your laps - so on a track day as there's no timing allowed I go out with the dash display on - then strangely it switches to lap timer - all very simple an inexpensive. The data available via the lap timer is quite eye opening.

Is the data better than it used to be? I remember old phones had slower to refresh gps rates so the data was never particularly accurate. The data logging dashes had much faster refresh, but you sure do pay for it!

I had no issues - was very impressed with the update as it was constantly changing so you can see at a glance if you're doing better or worse at any bend or section of track, I have no intention of changing it as it works.
You can record various setups individually for comparison and its easy to move from car to car. To be honest I can see why you'd go any other way but each to their own.
