I bought the one that syncs to an Android. It is sold by evwerks. I have only used it while working on my car, and trying some dry runs with the wheels off the ground. I think it is going to be great.
You know you can imbed the youtube's in this forum. That way folks can stay on the forum and not be taken to youtube.
I was having a very hard time embedding the youtube video. The trick for me was to click the "remove format" button, after pasting the youtube link into the embed wrap. Without removing the format, I was getting strange results, even though everything appearred to be correct in the edit window. Here is a picture that shows the external link, the embedding format, and the remove formatting button. how to embed youtube.JPG

They worked with Dimitri , who makes the miniBMS and EV Display, to add the blue tooth connectivity. The UI is slick.
i have that in my car, it is very cool! Eventually I also want to wire it up to the stock fuel gauge, but haven't yet (but in the meantime there is a little analog looking fuel gauge on the display). The phone (i have a DroidX) can still receive calls and emails and stuff at the same time, very integrated, and the UI is indeed very nice.

I want to do that too! I also have an old Android phone that I want to mount on the dash so I can leave it in the car. In the meantime I have a few more things to do to get my VW road worthy.

It is easier than that. Go to any youtube video. Here is a normal link you may find.
h ttp://www.youtube.com/watchv=dXpZK5hOKJA&feature=channel&list=UL
What you want is to only select the part of the link that is between the = sign and & sign. The part in red is what you past in the youtube link when you post.
The link should look like this. [ YOUTUBE]dXpZK5hOKJA[/YOUTUBE ] I disabled the link to show you what part goes in the link.
So here is the same video in the post using only the selected text in red. All youtube videos will have a similar link. If there is no ampersand you use the part behind the = sign.

Try it out.
When I copy and paste the section of the link you like you say, like this: [ YOUTUBE]dXpZK5hOKJA[/YOUTUBE ], I get this:
And if all I do is I highlight the text inside the youtube wrapper, and click the "remove text formatting" button, I get this:
So there must be some formatting that tags along when I paste in the embedded path. I don't know.
Any of the parts of the code in RED that is given for any youtube video can be copied and pasted in the youtube code that comes up when you want to embed a in a post. Don't copy past my examples as they are disabled. Just copy paste the parts of the code you see in red. Don't copy paste the MY EXAMPLES. Go to any video and try it. Be sure you don't copy any other part of any spaces or anything like that. Sometimes it might bring a space and not show anything. Preview your post before submitting it to be sure it worked or works.
This is the URL Header:
h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXpZK5hOKJA&feature=channel&list=UL
This is the share code:
h ttp://youtu.be/dXpZK5hOKJA
This is the embed code:
< iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dXpZK5hOKJA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Trying again: Seems to work the same for Ubuntu with Firefox as it does with my Mac. Always preview. When pasting this one I missed the last little s in the copy pasted code and it did not work. Be sure there are no spaces or missing letters or numbers. Remember only the code between the = and &. Nothing else.
I put in a space below in the youtube code to disable the code. The above video you see is from this code. No deformatting or any thing.
