I love my good box, it doesn't clear DTC's for some reason but I have the Cobb and other things that can do that anyway.

 

Yep, love mine too.

 

Everytime I read goodbox it makes me think of goobacks from Southpark.

 

 

Has anyone heard from Pieter anyway? I sent him a PM but no response.

 

hey 9k, i'm working on the hardware/software tweaks now but it's been slow going since i'm busy with work at the moment. you can pm me if you need something.

 

Actually from what I can tell while it doesn't use *exactly* the same as the '3 the '8 does use CAN bus and a number of the ID's are identical (eg 201, 4B0 etc). What it might well use SPI for is the communication to the display.

Also I suspect the issue that some are having with other datalogging devices plugged in at the same time is that OBD-2 is command/response based, you can't have multiple devices polling the PCM.

What you can however have is any number of silent devices listening in on the CAN bus, although I believe this will not give you everything without requests.

As for costs, I bought an ELM327 based device off ebay for cheap, looking right now and I can get one for £9.99 delivered!
If you want to do something without a PC then an Arduino complete with CAN bus interface and LCD can be bought delivered for ~£80 (see 130494945001 as an example).

I would love to know about how to program the OEM screen, although I'd understand if pieter3d wants to keep that to himself.

Bump for awesomeness and awareness.

 

Yeah id like to get one of these soon...

 

They still have some for sale?

 

yeah there are more available. I'm testing the slow machine fix shortly. Have all the parts, just need to run it for awhile.

 

Can you PM me when you have them ready for sale again? Or should I just keep an eye on this thread?

 

yeah just watch here or you can get one now and I'll send you the updated version when it's ready

 

How long are you expecting it to take for the updated version?

 

I know this doesn't work with the metra kit. Is it the same for the Kanatechs dash kit? I have this kit and I have held out on the goodbox out of the fear they wont work together.

 

what does corksport call it?
is it the same price?

 

hopefully i can get the fix installed for testing this week but then i need to produce the updated board.

i can send you one to try?

same and same

 

Thos with it already, whats involved in getting the update?

 

huh? it'll be a new mainboard.

 

Are these still available???
Will be going on a jdm rx8.
Also I can't find the price

 

pm'd

 

I am interested as well; price?

 

Hey Dondo,
Did you officially take this over? Either way. If there is an update on these (GOODbox) then let me know.

In the meantime, I'll stay subscribed to the thread.


Thanks!

 

you can pm me for now. working up a better way to get them to market

yep, just need to find the time to finish the testing but the product works fine now; we're just trying to make it better.

 

Interested in one of these if there is a way that it can work with the metra kit!
