Default V1 in OBC display?

I remember a few years ago someone was working on a remote display for the V1 that displayed the info in the Audi computer display. Did anything ever come of that? I tried google and the AW search but didn't find anything. If it's available now does anyone have a link or any info on it?

Default EFU - http://techreactions.com/default.aspx

is the only one that has something today...the other efforts never materialized to the best of my knowledge.

I have the EFU, and love it.<ul><li><a href="http://techreactions.com/default.aspx">clicky</a></li></ul>

Ah ok, thanks. Looks like nothing for the newer models.

Default meh. The V1 isn't worth it.

do something that will actually give you protection from speed traps.

Already have one though, not buying new. It's actually saved me quite a few times.

Default He's probably talking about instant-on radar.

If you are already in their sights and they tag you, you're dead. The only way the v1 will help you is if it senses cars in front of you getting tagged. If there are no cars in front of you, or none that are speeding and getting tagged, you are screwed. I believe the only thing that will help you in this situation is a laser jammer in the front bumper.

Default Agreed. And like I said, my V1 has saved me several times more than paying for itself so I'm happy.

I love how it tells you the direction it's coming from and the remote display.

Having the remote display integrated into the obc would be the best though, so i wouldn't have to figure out where to mount it.

Default My brother had the rear view mirror on his 911 cabrio customized so the V1 displays just like ...

the direction on our compass/mirrors. The control is mounted into his console, and he has remote front and rear sensors. Very sharp.
