New Gadget from BSR

[Big-Pete]

Just had an email from BSR, they are doing a new unit that plugs into your car and talks to their servers, a few of the functions are info about fuel used, engine power & trouble codes, Will be out at the end of the year for a few makes, Should work with Vauxhall / Opel as they will be doing a Saab version.. Could be used by companies though, which could be seen as a bit BIG BROTHER'ish.. Might be useful though..

Had a quick look at this as well Pete, might come in usefull, but wait and see how much they want for it and I imagine there will be some sort of annual subscription as well. Looks like a good bit of kit though

[soulman]

that seems mighty interesting

[Big-Pete]

I think it will be expensive, they say no subscriptions etc so maybe a high one off price..

Mark, are you still thinking of coming to the rolling road day??

I was on for it, but I'm on my JCLM 1B(Junior Command & Leadership Course) from the 30th June so I wont be able to make it. I'm pretty bummed as I really wanted to come, but it's not to be and I need this course for promotion to Cpl and I binned the last one for personal reasons so it's a must

thought it was JMLC, or they changed the name now?..

[Big-Pete]

Shame, would have been nice to have met you Mark, but i'd do the same and go on the course for promotion..

Sounds like an investment to me. I'll keep an eye on this.
