Here is some updated info on the product I just received:
For those who already own an android based device Superchips will be offering the “AVID” a Bluetooth Dongle that provides the link between those Android based products and the Superchips VIVID tuning app.
Plans are to release AVID in Summer 2011.
For those inquiring about Mac applications. I was told that we are still looking into Apple operating system (e.g. iPhone). At this time we do not have a definitive answer on iPhone compatibility or an Apple based device. It is a closed operating system making development longer and more difficult. Android is an open source operating system making our time to market much quicker and the features we deliver better making it the logical choice for the first product to be released from the VIVID and AVID families.

Scott will this be released prior to the EJS? I'd love to have it dialed in prior to Moab and I know release dates are just targets...so what's your gut tell you for release date? Is February a 90% chance release date or 10%? Also, any chance the JK-Forum might see a pre-order deal?? Really love the concept and have wondered why something like this wasn't already been made available (used to have an Mitsubishi EVO and they've had the in-cab programmers for a while now).

The plan for release is sometime in early Spring. I hope to get a date nailed down here soon along with pricing. I will update this thread the minute more info gets to me down the pipeline.
I will mention pre order options to management in our next meeting to see what they say.

From what info I have been given so far, the Archos will come with the Superchips tuning app pre installed and a bluetooth dongle for wireless transfer. No word yet on mounting options for in cabin display.
The Avid option provides a user with the Blue tooth dongle and an unspecified way to download the app to your existing droid product.
