Remember when you were a kid watching Knight Rider and thought the computer-filled interior of Michael Knight’s car KITT was just the coolest thing ever? (If you are too young for that reference, head on over to YouTube and do a quick search for “Knight Rider.” Just be prepared to waste the rest of your day.) These days that interior just looks ridiculous, but having that kind of information available about the health and status of your car is still very handy.
Now, FAST has just introduced it’s new eDash which harnesses the very latest touchscreen technology to provide tons of information–and control–at a glance, in an ultra-cool package. The brand new electronic dash from FAST™ provides a plug-and-play, live streaming data viewer for all versions of XFI™ systems and is also capable of making popular on-the-fly tune changes.
Designed to make harnessing the power of FAST™ XFI™ systems even easier, the XFI™ eDash lets users view multiple sensors in real-time and make popular adjustments without any software, laptops or switches. This direct plug-and-play unit is compatible with all FAST™ XFI™ and XFI Sportsman™ units, and offers an attractive, modern electronic digital dash that is small and compact, yet very readable. The full-color, touchscreen hand-held doesn’t require a laptop or software, as the unit automatically senses which EFI system it is attached to. The plug-and-play capability is available due to the fact that it connects using the current XFI™ wiring harness Calport connector. The unit features multiple live data sensor screens, which include various “electronic digital dashes” comprised of commonly desired combinations of sensors. The eDash will show up to 20 different live sensor values at one time, thereby eliminating the need to scroll through screens or focus on one piece of information over another. The user can also select which screen will become the start-up screen each time the unit restarts. Finally, the unit logs both minimum and maximum sensor readings, letting racers and enthusiasts record these values easily and conveniently. The FAST™ XFI™ eDash includes a suction cup and articulating quick-release mount, making dash or window mounting easy.
And maybe best of all, in 20 years the eDash won’t be as tacky at that geeked-up Firebird from an old television show. If you want more info, you can check out FAST’s web page on the eDash here.
