Are these units better quality then the previous? I bought a GPS Nav unit and a few months outside the warranty I had a ton of bad pixels. Its almost unusable now.

This is awesome! I have been planning, searching, and scheming on how to best setup an in dash screen that would do 3 things Evoscan, Music & Navigation. I love that you're working out the details for power and getting it to switch on and off with the ignition. The only thing that could make this any more complete would be mounting the screen into dash kits and selling them as one piece.
I wonder if I could get the headphone jack out on this thing wired up to the MIT-02 harness and skip the headunit altogether, probably not worth it tho and I'll just stick a headunit in the glove box.
I'm going to submit my preorder today, hopefully I'm in the first batch and these things ship ASAP!!

I know you mentioned earlier that it will have support for AEM, LC1 & Zeitronix, is this as simple as adding a usb hub and connecting that to my ZT2? Would I have to use the additional I/O channels for oil pressure or will I be able to show oil pressure, boost, & AFR from my Zeitronix setup directly in Evoscan via usb?

wooha, hold up. with this new technology, usb hubs are no longer needed, usb to serial adapters are no longer needed, and dlp-io8 or dlp-io20's are no longer needed. Zeitronix sends that data for oil, boost, afr all in one serial packet along the serial cable. this new evoscan openport 1.3DA and 3.0DA cables have a serial RX input line, so that you can datalog all the zt2 data, and other serial widebands directly without the need of usb-serial adapters. cool huh!

yep. widebands come with two wires... one for serial and one for analog. you can just feed either one of these wires into the new openport 1.3DA or openport 3.0DA cable, and read the wideband data. analog from the wideband only gives you AFR. whereas the serial wire can give you multiple pieces of data, i.e. oil press, oil temp, boost, rpm, afr, etc.

Thanks for replying I know you must be swamped.

I know if I leave my Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 plugged into the OBD2 port, that it will continue to draw current even after I turn off the car. This could drain the car's battery over the course of several days. Will your device continue to draw as well? If so, how much? My concern is that the tablet will present a much bigger load than what we've seen. Or, does the tablet power down right automatically when you turn off the ignition?
