I've already had to change my pants..... twice.

**jay340S4** · 03-31-2011 08:43 AM

Thats pretty nice, I'd buy one just for the game. It gets boring waiting for the traffic lights or the wife. Where did you get that from?

**KNaudi** · 03-31-2011 08:48 AM

oh my god. do want!

**RedB5S4** · 03-31-2011 08:48 AM

That's pretty cool I guess.

"Oh, I'm at a stoplight right now? Hmm, I think I'll VAG my car. Or I could just play Snake."

**joespaman** · 03-31-2011 09:09 AM

His website is in the beginning of the vid. Not sure if the forum rulers would be okay with me posting the website. It sells for less than $250, from the motherland(Germany).

**Fourplay** · 03-31-2011 09:48 AM

I like how you can customize the startup screen too. Very cool (and pretty cheap).

**s4amodio** · 03-31-2011 09:59 AM

I need to get my display fixed asap .

Hello,

yes, you could read out all the measureblocks like in vag-com.

**30vQuattro** · 03-31-2011 11:25 AM

What the eff.. that is sick! Almost as cool as that other module that you can buy which shows you boost, g's, ait's and all that good stuff.

Let's get a group buy going for $200? :p

**mhorsfield89** · 03-31-2011 11:33 AM

looks sweet... anyone else have experience with this?

**joespaman** · 03-31-2011 11:48 AM

g60-kris,

Do you know any others there using this?

Group buy!, Group buy! @ $200, that's only a savings of $12 with the current exchange rate. I'm thinking like.... 125 euros($177) instead of 150($212)? After shipping from Germany, that should put us at about $200 a pop.

**julex** · 03-31-2011 12:16 PM

Holy... Nice.

**Yuckie** · 03-31-2011 12:16 PM

In for Group Buy, need Snake.

**joespaman** · 03-31-2011 12:19 PM

think we could load a pole position rom on there!?!?

**dubzackvr6** · 03-31-2011 12:55 PM

Wow. that's pretty awesome. I'd be down for a group buy. Heck, I'll pay whatever he wants to charge.

Hello,

sorry, i don´t know any other who use this nice piece.
And Stefan, the developer, is also a one-man-show. I hope, he can deliver immediately, because he is in full work i think and the FIS-Control is a hobby.

After the feedback in the gauges-thread i gave him a little warning, so i think he will answer all questions here in the near future.

But warning: Your FIS-displays should be OK to 100%, or there is no fun. I soldered a new in my S4, never again! The hell!
Also you should know, which cables you have to connect to your speedometer. For a non-electric (like me) it isn´t really easy. :(

Have fun!
Greetings and sorry for bad english

Kris

This is cool but there is another option coming out that is more suited to the performance B5 S4 crowd

So sick. This is one of the best values for the B5 S4, he doesn't want an arm and a leg. Really professional and well put together. I really respect someone who develops something like this AND makes an awesome professional user manual.

I think this product looks great, and the developer is a very skilled engineer from the looks of things. However, based on what I have seen this product is mostly about its "cool factor" and not really a product targeted towards a true performance enthusiast.

I really wish I could highlight some key differences between this unit and coming options, but it would behoove me not reveal too much at this point.

**Slavchob** · 03-31-2011 08:24 PM

Hahaha omg that's fricken sweet! Do want!

Maybe you should since it might sway some people to wait for your unit. Otherwise some will buy this one and you will loose them as future clients

Anyway, it sounds like that guy who made it IS skilled and adding future functionality shouldn't be a problem so long we clearly communicate what we would like to see it do.

**S4M3** · 04-01-2011 06:28 AM

What about boost ?

I can tell you this much, it won't have any games..........

Just use the vag blocks function and head to block 115, boost is right in there. You can even graph it from the looks of it.

**witwer4444** · 04-01-2011 12:30 PM

I'm in for group buy

I'm in for that. Has anyone made contact with the guy yet?

**a2gtinut** · 04-05-2011 07:39 AM

Hi guys. I know the creator of this product very well. He doesn't have acount here but I can ask him questions and get back to you. He is aware of plans for groupbuy but not sure how many people are really interested and comitted. It maybe possible that parts would ship from US address but we are still not sure.
