I'm seriously tempted to upgrade my current Traqmate system with one of their new displays, but not sure I want to be an early adopter. It seems to have some really attractive features, and pretty much everything I want. But I'd like to see some actual photos & videos of it in action rather than just drawings before sending money.

Anyone know any more about this thing?

I think the product info is pretty limited at this stage. Appears interesting, but how about some real pics??

I played with their prototype at a data conference in NY about six weeks ago. It's got quite a bit more information displayed, the display is bright and you can actuate the touchscreen accurately with a gloved finger. The alarm lights are nice and it stores all the info on an SD card.

You can upgrade anytime and if you buy one now, call and beat on them, they may take your standard dash back in trade for the new one if you pre-order it at that time.

It's a nice package, way better than the MXL, SDL or IQ3, IMO.

Anybody heard anything on when TraqMate is going to ship the TraqDash to those who pre-ordered?

Delivery was to be Q1, I was told end of April two weeks ago by a vendor. Sounded indefinite. The HD camera looks impressive.

Could you elaborate?

I called a couple weeks ago, and they said they were only waiting for the plastic cases to be sent from China, & that they expected to ship the entire 1st batch in April.

Yes, it's smaller, easier to manipulate, has shift lights and alarms and functions as a usable display as opposed to the old one.

Like the IQ3, but better than the AiM or MoTeC, it features an SD card slot to pull the data from. I thought it was robust, too. At least the sample I played with was...

Can you elaborate? Strongly considering the IQ3 or MXL. Is there some advantage here to the display or functions or is this opinion based on a preference for the traqmate sw?

I have the IQ3 and its fantastic. Does everything you want it to do.

The big difference is that you can do the setup work through the dash unlike most other systems. That's nice to have, especially when you first set things up, and you need to do one little thing and you're sitting on grid.

As for display. IMO a display is a display. They all can put up pretty much the same info and have shift lights and warning lights. I don't really care for color and if there was a non-color version for cheaper I'd go for it. I spend 99% of my time paying attention to my shift lights and warning lights with max a couple seconds a lap glancing down at numbers if I have something to be concerned about.

I called today inquiring about a ship date and was told mid to late May due to the plastic housings delayed out of China.

As a TM owner I am certainly interested in this product but waiting to see how it plays out for real world users. Ideally I want to replace the ancient 80's cluster in the 944 with something a bit more modern. That means being able to display at least oil pressure and engine temp, which this doesn't appear to do. Seems purely focused on the performance data points collected by the traqmate unit... which would mean two dashes, which I don't need.

So maybe I'll have a complete TM kit for sale at some point... guess we'll have to see!

Considering it. Waiting until someone gets the RacecamHD and Traqdash and reports back on their satisfaction. Right now, I can't get no ......satisfaction. At least not in "1Q 2011" as per the TM site.
