Took it for a spin this morning. Just wish those Americans would do one with a butterfly flutter Was ... not ... the ... same ... experience For starters, I didn't have a stable holder for my iPhone - it just sat in my centre console cup holder so I guess that threw it off a bit. I got one good run where it sync'ed up with my movements - it uses the iPhone accelerometer - so would idle when I was stopped and change up gears and engine noise as I sped up. But it was 9 times out of 10 out of sync and was still in 5 gear when I was stopped at lights I may have to play around with the settings in it to make it optimal. Other thing is, because it was probably designed for use in the flat lands of some North American city (not many hills), just going around the hills of Melbourne would fool the app into thinking I was stopping or going faster (depending on the tilt of the car as it went up hills or down hills) So I would rate it a 3 or out 10 on the revhead scale Oh it despite the warning on the app - it was just too damn tempting to make the app rev harder if you know what I mean so not for the those who want to be law abiding So I like the boyracer cig lighter device tabby showed above - my cig adapter for my iPhone speaker jack unfortunately does that intrinsically which annoys the hell out of me sometimes when I want to play it loud - buzzing noise in the background of the songs is in sync with the alternator current of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used it on the family vw bora, funning watching people's expressions at lights when it sounds like a old school throbbing V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
