Competition: Win a Hymee Enhanced Scan Tool!

I do have admin/moderator approval for this thread

Sco and I haven't decided on a name for the soon to be released ODBII / CAN scan tool, that will work with RX-8s and other vehicles with the "CAN".

If you come up with the name that is choses by the judges, you efforts will be rewarded with...
  1. A free copy of the software and the enabling hardware. Value: about $180 US Dollars
  2. The product name you came up with appearing on the product. See the splash screen below. Value: Pricless!



Rules
  • Hymee and Sco are the sole judges of the competition.
  • The "rights" to the name (however that is applicable) will transfer to Hymee ad Sco, in consideration for the prize offered.
  • Post your suggestions here. This list will be monitored, and the winner selected from here.
  • Competition closes Midnight (GMT), Friday 17th December 2004.
  • Winner will be advised via forum PM and announced on this thread.
  • Prize will ship when product is released to public.

Some other things to consider...
  • Names etc. don't necessarily have to contain "Hymee", "Hymee Enhanced", "Hymee Enhanced Design" or "Sco". (Obviously, Sco would like it if his name was in there somewhere.)
  • The product is a diagnostic scan tool and data logger utilising CAN communication protocols and conforming to ODBII standards.
  • The product will work with vehicles other than RX-8s, althought we are "customising" it for RX-8's.
  • Other vehicles with CAN will be able (should be able) to work with the product. For example, it has been tried on RX-8s (in Europe, Aust., and the USA), as well as Mazda3 and Mazda6.

That is about it.

Here is another sample of the digital dashboard part of the product:



The full thread talking about this product (up to 10 pages by now) can be found here...

Cheers,
Hymee.

LOL :D

Couple other tips for the name:
- It doesn't have to contain "Sco"
- It can't contain "CanScan" - this is trademarked
- In fact, it can't be any other registered or trademarked name

We reserve the right to not pick any name if no-one comes up with one which appeals to us in which case it will be probably, boringly, called "Scan Tool". I'm sure someone here will come up with a good one though!

Best of luck.. may be the best name win!

I posted this on the other thread

Well how about this... a name for 40 minutes

1) we need a word "scan" at the end.
2) The scan list section of the engine datas. (intake air temp, rev, etc.)
3) Have to have engine into it.
4) Engine is rotary so I guess there must be something to do with it.

The best I can come up with is Rotortome scan. (or the R-scan for short)

Since:

Rotor = rotary engine; and it starts with an R
Tome = sections / part of the prefix (like dermatome - sections/specific area of the skin, usually refer to nerve distribution)

For longterm purposes, you need to stick with the basics. This means:
- No reference to rotary
- Hymee word doesn't make sense to anyone unfamiliar to Hymee from RX8club
- Scan is vague
- CAN bus will be the new fad when all cars will have them (2007)

With this in mind, my entry will be "AutoCAN: The only Scanning Tool you'll ever need from now on." or just plain AutoCAN, Auto-CAN, whichever.

Good luck on your final choice!

Multiple entries / names are permitted (within reason - don't post a dictionary).

To keep it fair, the order of posts will be taken into consideration in case more than one person posts the same name. To avoid problems with editing the "last edit" time will also be taken into account. So to be safe, avoid editing a post after you have submitted an "entry".

Not sure what you mean?

If you want to take a copy of one of the images we've posted for personal, non-commercial purposes, then I'm sure that'll be OK.

No problems. I can do that in about three seconds as I have the layered original.

There is no advantage to posting a picture of our splash with your suggestion though :p

V-REDS = Virtual Recorder & Engine Diagnostic Scanner


I particularly like this one since it owes much to the heritage of both Hymee and Sco's colour preference.

As said on another thread :

Hymee RX8 Engine Analyser. Because that's what it is after all, like the Hymee catback, the Hymee Grill Kit, theHymee S/C Kit, the Hymee Short Shifter, the Hymee 7-speed Automated Sequential Gearbox...
And with an "s" as in British English (and Australian?), in order not to get confused with (or sued by) Performance Trends Engine Analyzer (that actually is an engine simulator software). http://www.performancetrends.com/

Also :

OzCaRX8 : Australian Can RX8

RXCanMate, mate!

HeH Sco-rx

Hymee Scan Extraordinaire (French speaking markets only)

Hymee PocketWDS (Ford might not quite like it)

More to follow...
