Yeah no doubt there. I hope Kane can push his software soon. I would much prefer to do all the tuning myself.

We had 3 big windows in our garage when I was a kid. It was nice to let in more light during the day, but it would have been iffy at night if we didn't live in the country.

Usually schools will either schedule MLK or presidents' day as a holiday and not the other... My guess is that their school has presidents' day off. UTSA always makes the first week of the Semester a short week, so I think we had MLK off.

Shelldude is an Android programmer and he is doing that in his 8 using the manual flip up DVD unit (which I prefer), he has a thread on the subject and it is pretty bad ***. You could use a bluetooth OBD unit and the torque app to read engine data.

I'm not sure if they get presidents day off or not. I had a long talk with my son about civil rights and the impact the civil rights movement had on races other than African Americans. At 17 he was still pretty unclear about what contributions MLK made.

Sweet I will check him out...I have looked into the Torque App. Really all I want is ECU interface, and connection to my phone for Pandora and Nav (this is where I express how much the OEM nav is a waste of money!)
