Hi all, just looking for opinions on the options available when using a Syvecs ecu.

 

Looking at getting one soon but can't decide which is better.

 

What I understand is

 

Toucan is designed for the Syvecs and permanently wired in.

 

Tablet will need a Bluetooth adapter for the syvecs and the app installed.

 

Discuss :)

Another vote for Toucan. Wasn't really a fan until I had one fitted, which I only went for in the end as it was a lesser evil over having gauges plastered everywhere. But it's a fantastic bit of kit, and with some creativity, doesn't have to look 'stuck on' to the dash. Lets you know what's going on, easy selection of maps & trac settings etc, plus the immobiliser is great if you have it set up with pin protection.

I'm going a different route - arduino canbus translator and then android dash. Might not work out, but it's all wired and it will allow me to add custom sensor stuff to the arduino and feed directly into the tablet. The only reason I'm doing this over a toucan is because I like tinkering with stuff.

 

I asked a reputable source about the Bluetooth option and was advised to go with a toucan display.

Just a warning about the Toucan though, the screens reflect glare terribly, so try and angle it to avoid that.

 

Not if you mount it in the bottom right of the dash by ignition switch rather than middle console. Mine is great and never get any glare.

 

Go for the toucan over the Bluetooth module all day long mate.
