HKS Camp...and the like

anyone fill me in on the way the camp works.

I mean you buy the unit..it's like $300. Then you have to buy all the sensors and the junction box?

I understand you can plug another video source into the camp and it will go into the screen.

So I could have...a screen in my car. A camp in my car. A PS2 in my car. PS feeds into the camp. Camp feeds into the screen.

See I have a screen in my dash and I rarely have a video source in there. I like the idea of having something like the camp where I can have sensors/guages without having 5 different guage pods in my car.

Anyone fill me in on this? Any other companies make something like this?

You dont HAVE to buy additional sensors, the main unit can read some basic engine functions.

things are sick...but so expensive if you get all the sensor attachments. But if you're like me and have a screen and aren't hip on mad guages all over the place...it's sick.

Seems to be still available on the HKS online store. Most likely the only wire you need to splice is the speedometer wire from the ECU.

Defi also has a similar product. Combine the Defi Control Unit with the Defi Link Display. http://www.defi-shop.com/product/dp/dp_top.html

BLitz R-ViT on Subaru's shows Boost / water temp / maf volts / air intake temp/ Rpm / Speed / etc. and has peak hold + warning / also has many diff displays like tach/bar

its a neat thing...hooks into the OBD2 slot so no splicing... pm me for more info

hmmmm...

i like the blitz device that hooks to the obd port...

i wonder if there is a device like that but the shape is more like the clock in the center dash.

i wanted an all in one type meter. no matter if i have to cycle through diff screens...

Yeah, but ever try driving with the OBD connector attached?
I tried with my accessport, the connector gets in the way of shifting and braking.
Hope they have a nice design.
