I believe you would just have to download software specific to your car, and then pair it to the plug (since the plug is bluetooth) which I guess could open the option of multiple vehicles??

Time will tell on that aspect though.

I don't know about the out of price range thing. Let's see, $200+ for the TomTom, $100 for the A-pillar cluster, $400 for the dual Aeroforce gauges. That's $700+ right there. Does this cost $700? If you don't have nav' NOW, it's not a bad deal.

i wasn't sure if the one i recently got for x-mas was compatitable because it wasn't listed on the link that mike put up? when i checked the units that are compatible in the lower part of the link then the one i have is ok, i think? but the one i have isn't bluetooth so i'm still unsure if it will work, but if it does, then cool!

edit: the unit i have is the garmin nuvi 255W

What's your numbers? It has to be 1XXX

If it's not bluetooth capable... I'm sorry to say it won't work. The plug in the OBDII port plugs in and stays at your feet, then connects via bluetooth to your Garmin.
