Sorry to hijack this thread but do any of you guys know if the V2 AP is Mac compatible? I thought i read some where that it was.
actually looking at the box right now and says it runs OS X. And I'm typing this on a macbook. Maybe I should test this claim... Also, this update installs SOOOOOO SSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW
The AP2.0 is just plain slow. Takes forever to boot. The 0-60 and 1/4 mile thing is pretty cool for the couple runs I got in though.
Oh right on. Ill be moving back to minnesota in the next few weeks so ill probly just wait untill then.
the installation/uninstallation and map switching are still a lot faster than the first version, but this update took like a half hour to load on my AP. at least i wont have to do that again for a while.
yeah got mine updated and had fun this weekend until my tire bit the dust i like the performance tests, and maybe i missed an update but they also have a coolant temp gauge under live data that will report digitally - kinda nice
