Thanks a lot, look forward to it

I've been a little worried about installing it, 19K on a car then start p*ssing around trying to install extra stuff

 

[Rakey]

The Origin is a really easy install, if you fit it where mine is all the extra wires hide either under the steering wheel housing, which removes easily and there is also a little cuppy storage area for wires on the right of the dash (have to open the door to see this one)
All wires hide away easily and tidy, with very little effort

Have you done the latest update and got the large speedo?

also is your speedo reading always about 5mph to slow? mines does no mather what the speed its always 5mph slower than my cars speedo....

Mine is just to the left of the right window pillar. I got the local BMW dealer to do it but they charged me 2 hours labour which I don't quite understand as it only took them less than an hour to install it in my M3. Go figure?

Fairly common for car speedos to under-read. That's why the police normally give you a 10% error factor if you get stopped. The GPS speed comes right from the satellite so it should be the more accurate one.

yeah did that update this week after I read it on the site

I have noticed a difference in speed, and like Stovie said the Origin is more acurate, as I have compared Origin, Speedo and Sat Nav speeds, the speedo is always the one out

oh and mine is fitted like Stovies, but I don't seem to have any pics on file

Apparently the cable coming out the craddle can be moved to the right side to make it even tidier, but I have not tried this yet, might try next week

Yes it does,I have done this on mine.
But do be careful when you take it apart as some magnets will come out.

LOL, I am not known for being careful so might just leave it as it is seeing as it is stuck to the dash

thanks for the tip off
