yo, i just picked one of these up as well. probably in my hands next week. i can't wait.
what is needed to be done before i plug and play?
this also means i need to find windows and parallels in the meantime to actually use this.

i'm also gonna be working on a custom mount for when it comes in. i'm thinking of putting it in right vent above the HU provided the DH is small enough.

how long is the obdii cord?

 

[clos561]

about 3 feet

 

[phillyb]

good enough. thanks

When I got mine the software version was old, go to the main dash hawk web page and download the newest version, I think you have to register and login if i remember correctly.

I still havent mounted mine, it just sits on top of the steering column and i can still read it fine.

i figured out all the settings and hsit now. i jsut want a diff splash screen

Doing the setup does anyone know the drag coefficient and frontal area in sq feet of the car?

you can get it from the MSD Dashhawk forum

I just updated mine yesterday.

[CWPspeed3]

Good news but I'm not a fan of beta releases, I think I'll wait.

i love my dashhawk ive had it for about a year. i made a bracket and suctioncuped it to the window. i need to update im not keeping up with the betas like i used to.

You still need to weigh the car, right, for DH to provide accurate results?

 

[CWPspeed3]

I think for the weight, coefficient of drag, and frontal area those numbers are used when you do a performance run and it calculates your horse power and torque. If you have it monitor instant hp then I dont think it really needs those numbers or I dont know exactly what else it uses those numbers for.

 

[mrjoshyman]

where are you guys mounting ur dashawks? It won't measure boost -- correct?

 

[CWPspeed3]

I haven't mounted mine yet, its just been sitting on top of my steering column. It measures boost/vacuum thats one of the main reasons I bought it.

 

[dkswim]

sucioncupped to lower left hand part of window where inspection stickers and the likes are.

Mine is on the steering column.
