Banks iq

Where do I start with the Banks iQ? I can start off by saying this has to be by far, the coolest man-machine interface out there! Now like most things in your truck, when you turn off the engine and unless your key is in the accessory position everything will turn off, but not the Banks iQ, it stays on when others don’t. This is due to it’s rechargeable battery that can hold it’s power without, turning off. Another cool feature is you can use it like an Ipod, this means that you can actually upload pictures, listen to music, and watch movies on it. There is very little this complex piece of technology can’t do, it’s very possible that you will become the envy of your friends if you own this. Let’s say your speedometer is constantly getting busted and your tired of spending the money to get it fixed. You can use the iQ as your speedometer, it’s GPS synched for a very accurate reading.

If you have ever wondered about what goes on behind the scenes of your car in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The Banks iQ for a 2001-2005 6.6L GM Duramax LB7, LLY will let you see what is really going on, you can read and clear codes, log data(see how your mpg was on a long trip), and see how fast you really were going when you were racing on the track or street. You can also set safety alarms, that means that the iQ will monitor different temperatures and various areas of your truck and will notify you with audible and visual warning signs if your close to dangerous temperatures. The big 5″ screen size is not only for looks but also for your safety, with other dashboard pc’s that have a small screen that you have to strain your eyes to see which means your eyes are no longer on the road and we all know that is just not safe! But Banks does not just create things for looks so that is why they use a 5″ screen to make it much easier for you to see the screen and less time having your eyes off the road.

Now I know that your thinking, what makes this different from any other dashboard pc’s? Well I’ll tell you! Banks is very well known for making fantastic and quality products and never disappoints. It can also be very versatile, this means there are many add-ons such as turn by turn navigation, and you can synch it up with your tuner as well. One cool thing that you probably haven’t heard about, is the Banks Brick, it’s an add on for the Banks iQ. With the Brick you will be able to access so much more in your ECU then any other chip out there from nitrous/propane boost, your dashboard PC will look like it’s something out of fast and the furious.  Unfortunately this add-on hasn’t been released yet but when it does, it’ll blow everything else out of the water.
