Banks iQ®

The Banks iQ is a True In-Car PC Packed Full of Functions and Applications for Use Inside and Outside of Your Vehicle.
No other device on the market can match what we've put into the Banks iQ. This powerful micro-computer lets you know the inner workings of your vehicle's ECU letting you see what's beyond your dashboard gauges. You select what you want to see and how you want to see it. Set alarms, adjust gauge colors, read and clear codes, log data, and find out how quick your vehicle really is. You'll find yourself using the host of useful built-in tools in your daily life. You'll listen to your favorite tunes, watch videos, play games, review your Microsoft Office® documents and more. It's PC power that fits in the palm of your hand, and with a rechargeable battery you can take it with you wherever you go. Compared to Banks iQ, other vehicle interfaces on the market are one-dimensional toys with an umbilical cord to your dashboard.
