I don't have the exact dimensions nailed down 100% yet. We are looking at what enclosures we can find, we need to keep the cost down. I'm hoping it'll be smaller than the size of the PB.
Any color preference?

Is there an upgrade path for MAF users to get the V MAF+ ? I bought my Vitesse MAF new in 2010 but now feel like I am missing out on some exciting improvements.

Count me in for the monitor. I like the idea of the button to initiate but could the unit be set to record continuously, like an airplane black box? If something goes wrong suddenly, I might not have recorded it or be able to recreate it again. In that case, a push of the button could mark the event in the log to make it easier to find later.

I'm working on a price structure for upgrades from the old std MAF to the V-MAF+ as well as upgrade from V-FLEX to V-MAF+.

Customers who opted for the V-FLEX upgrade in the past few months received the V-MAF+ or were notified to receive the V-MAF+ upgrade for free...

As far as continuous data logging, I guess everything is possible. It's just time and money!

Is there a last date for the first round of units.
After tomorrow I'll know if I need one for fault-finding....

We will evaluate the option of adding the MoMonitor to the kits, too early to think about it now.
It seems like a good idea to me, in order to enable customers to get their installs completed with less after sales support.

Interested also in both the unit and upgrade path. Do you foresee providing some kind of reference guide correlating the readings of the unit with translation of the findings for repair guidance? Thanks for continuing to push the envelope of development

Hi John
I am interested in Monitor as well. With metric units of course.. My MAF is from 2005, could this be updated to V-MAF+?

If you made this work with any tuner's software you would have alot more customers.

You realize you are asking the impossible, right?

We have no control over someone else software. It will be impossible to provide tools based on something out of our control.
We have been providing the community with MAF conversion for years. We are dedicated to continue to offer the most advanced and most innovative engine management solutions. As much as we like to help everyone, it may not be possible. Our tools are based on our proprietary software. With the MoMonitor, Vitesse customers are the only ones that can benefit from our development.

Once you see it, I'm sure you will be more than surprised at the level of details and accuracy of the data. If anything, we may need to decrease the samplig rates from what we have now.

Interesting you mention BMW, as we have been approached by a few BMW shops/providers to provide them with software and of course the MoMonitor. If we decide to go that route it will be available for the E30/E36.

Based on the response I received, we will have to adjust the initial quantity even if it pushes out the ETA. No need to worry about availability. Once I have a firmer release date, I will announce it so whoever wishes to get a unit can firm up his/her order.

Great!

You should talk to the Zeitronix people and add an interface for the ZT-2 serial data stream to log that as well, that would be one great product
