AlexD Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 See here: http://www.magden-auto.com/products/1 Basically it looks like it allows you to display a variety of parameters on a nav screen. It's been validated for 2007+ Legacies, so a lot of folks will be out of luck. This looks like it would be a great way to get a boost gauge without the tacked-on look that most of them seem to have. Anyone have thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Maybe get a laptop, a cable and some software to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexD Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Maybe get a laptop, a cable and some software to do the same thing. Well i've already got a nav screen, so this system seems like it would be a relatively easy way to put it to use. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy having my fuel economy displayed in 3 different forms *rolls eyes* but I would welcome an easy integration of useful information. Creating something from the ground up is waaaay more than I want to get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusfeuer Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hello. The reason why we only support 2007+ Legacys is that Subaru switched to a faster version of the OBD-II diagnostic port protocol, called CAN, that year. Prior to the switch they ran a version (ISO9141) that is simply too slow to be useful in a tuning environment. We are, however, in the process of implementing Subaru's proprietary high speed protocol (SSM), which operates in parallel with OBD-II in the diagnostic port. We have the all the necessary specs and will probably be done with this in 1-2 months. The SSM protocol allows us to get high speed engine data out of older Subies as well. We are obviously aiming for older gen WRX, but will try to cover as many models as wel can. Good threads, where I try to answer as many questions as possible, can be found here and here. Please note that you can only view a limited number of pages on the site before you need to register. Feel free to post any questions you have in this thread, and I'll do my best to answer them. /Magnus F. CTO - Magden Automotive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexD Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks for the info Magnus. One other question...I understand that the touch screen isn't accessible to the Magden so a trackball/mouse is required in order to set it up or to change configurations. But once I have it up and running, how do I get the info to display on the nav screen? Does it add an icon that allows me to display the various engine parameters that I might choose? Or is it some sort of external toggle switch that I have to engage? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusfeuer Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Alex, You connect the M.1b to the aux video input of the nav screen. Once that is done you select that input in the setup menu of the nav unit to display the M.1 video signal. /Magnus F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
