Hi, if you have HKS CAMP in your car, please reply, and give me a little feedback on the system. Also, if possible, please post pics.

Thanks!

 

Nobody has this?

 

i dont know what it is?????

 

I know what it is. I've never heard of anyone having it. I'd buy it just for the aquarium mode, lol.

 

Okey, I guess I'll have to be the first here with it in my car...

Check out pics/info of HKS CAMP BTW...

The HKS CAMP System is an in-dash vehicle monitoring system. CAMP allows for multiple readings to be monitored either while the vehicle is running, or after the vehicle has completed its run. CAMP is designed to help "dial" in the vehicle for optimum performance on or off the track.

Features:
Graphical data display created by 32 bit RISC CPU.
Data recording with a large memory allows for further evaluation of information.
Communication function with your PC. Compatible with Windows 95 and 98. You can analyze the data from the vehicle using spreadsheet software.
Expandable with optional SRAM card.
Video signal switch allows the user to change from the CAMP display to video games, VCR or vehicle navigation system by using remote controller. (Does not include monitor)
Customizable background colors (except for fish mode) and ability to set background imported from laptop.
Audible alerts inform you of warnings, confirm completion of operations and entertainment.





Analog Display - The analog display can indicate speed, MPG, gas mileage, fuel consumption and injector opening percentage. The display provides a more visual presentation of information compared to ordinary gauges. CAMP includes peak data memorization and allows the scale to adjust according to current driving conditions. You determine which gauges appear on the screen.




Graph Display - This screen provides a data recording feature which is utilized in the racing industry. After a driving session, the user can evaluate driving conditions and engine performance. The feature of composing the graph by assigning any available data to X and Y, enables unique and special analysis. Furthermore, the data is download able to your PC by using the communication port.




Alarm Feature - This allows the user to set a designated limit for each data. CAMP will inform the user by sound and graph if any data passes the limit. For example, the alarm can be set for a certain speed limit to allow the best possible gas mileage.




Digital Display - The bar graphs along with digital numbers indicate multiple data to simultaneously observe entire vehicle conditions.




Trip/Past Function - The past function provides five trip recorders that individually memorize the total driving distance, operating hours, fuel usage and average gas mileage. This function can be used to manage vehicle maintenance, compare time and gas mileage between two different routes or managing driver information for long trips.




Fish Function - The fish function provides the opportunity to enjoy your driving experience in an entertaining way. Your driving technique, such as speed and gas mileage, changes the environment of the fish pond and affects the health of the tropical fish.




Friction Loss Calculator - CAMP calculates the friction loss and graphically displays the percentage of lost horsepower compared to genuine horsepower. This function shows the best driving speed in terms of gas mileage based on a characteristic of aerodynamics and friction loss of the tire rotation.

 

One more pic...

 

Most people grab Auto tap for that kinda stuff. Its way less expensive, and since you dont need most of that type of monitoring 100% of the time, (i.e. Injector duty cycles) you can store auto tap on a laptop and take it with you.

 

that's pretty sweet.

 

This is true, Corey. However, the benefit of this device is not only to get real-time monitoring of your vehicle's diagnostics, but also to get some additional features that higher-end vehicles provide, such as Average MPG, Average Speed.

One extra feature I really like about HKS CAMP is that based upon the road conditions, as well as the temperature of your vehicle and of the air outside, in addition to aerodynamic conditions, HKS CAMP can also provide you with your optimal driving speed in real-time to achieve the best gas mileage. With today's high gas prices, this feature alone would more than pay for itself in the years owned with the money saved in gas.

Im pretty positive Auto tap does this as well.

How much is that system cost? $3000I would think to break even on saved gas, it would be at least 10 years, if not more.

Also, I have experinced how you drive 1st hand, going 120+ on the highway and even higher on the alligator alley.

why all of the sudden do you want to by a $3,000 gadget to start giving to statistics on fuel economy?
