I used my iPhone to record it but youtube reduced the quality. I'll record another one when I get it installed and make sure it is high definition with a little better lighting.

Re: iPad in thridgen

I've thrown around this idea. If you have a smart phone, you can use the phone as a hot spot and have internet on the tablet/ipad. So you can then use google maps, pandora, etc,. It would be nice to use for efi tuning purposes, but to date MegaSquirt only has a data logging program.

Re: iPad in thridgen

Now if you could integrate the Ipad to the vehicle with voice recognition to operate the electrical system. Now we are talking bad ***.
