The TD5SPY DASH is for those who prefer not to use their cell phones for monitoring their landies but want a dedicated unit that can be mounted in the vehicle. Its taken us a while but we have risen to the occasion and launched the TD5SPY DASH.

This neat little unit, provides the same essential engine monitoring features as the original TD5SPY but is connected directly to the OBDII port on the vehicle.

The dimensions of the TD5SPY DASH are: 95 (L) x 63 (W) x 23 (H) cm.

Features

The DASH unit is supplied with a number of cable options to suite different vehicles and mount locations. The basic cable provides power to the unit and connects to the OBDII connector.

In addition, the unit is also connected to the ignition power on the vehicle, so it connects and disconnects automatically when the vehicle is started or stopped.

The unit has 2 modes of operation:

• OBDII
• OBDII + ADDITIONAL SENSORS.

The unit is supplied by default with the OBDII license enabled. A seperate license must be purchased to enable the ADDITIONAL SENSORS.

Powerful configuration options provide the following features:

• Alert configuration
• Portrait or Landscape display orientation
• Fuel tank settings
• Sensor management (if licensed)
• WIFI configuration with ‘Over the Air’ configuration and firmware updates

Unit is suitable for both TD5 Defenders and Discovery 2’s.

TD5SPY DASH additional Sensors (Optional)

The TD5SPY DASH does more than just display engine ECU data, it also has the capability to connect to additional sensors that are not fitted as standard to Defenders and Discovery 2’s.

The sensors shown below can be purchased when the DASH Sensor license is activated. Various sensor adapters are also availlable to suite installations in different vehicles.

The following additional sensors are supported by the TD5SPY DASH:

• Coolant level monitor
• EGT probe (Exhaust temperature)
• Engine Oil pressure and temperature
• Gearbox or Transfer box temperature

The TD5SPY DASH also supports one output port that can be used for either of the two functions listed below:

• Drive the vehicle oil warning lamp if the oil pressure switch is removed when fitting the oil pressure sensor.
• Drive a battery switching relay for Dual Battery control.

Mobile platforms

The TD5SPY Application works on both Android and iOS Smartphones (the iOS app is currently in beta trials via Testflight).

The TPMS system takes monitoring to the next level by providing for dynamic tyre pressure monitoring seamlessly integrated into the TD5SPY app. We’re able to supply both Internal and External TPMS sensors that are easily fitted to your vehicle of choice.

Our app connects to the Tyre Pressure Sensors via Bluetooth, making the installation and operation extremely simple. When you purchase the TPMS sensors, we pre-configure your app with the sensor codes. For those of you who choose to install the Internal sensors, we also provide a mechanism for you to move the codes should you wish to rotate your tyres at any time.

The app displays the pressure and temperature of each tyre as well as the battery percentage remaining. These values are updated about every 3 minutes when travelling.

When starting the app the last saved pressure readings are displayed but the temp and battery levels are displayed as zero. Once a communication is received from a specific sensor, the correct temperature and battery level is displayed.

An alert and error pressure level can be configured to notify the user of low pressure readings. A zero pressure alarm notification is also included.

Go ahead and treat your Landy! You know she deserves it (and you’ll benefit from the resulting peace of mind).

Fully universal the In Car Net mounts onto grab handles in your vehicle. Owners of Defenders without grab handles will need to consider alternative mounts. The In Car Net measures 1,000mm x 500mm. It has 2 zips (4 Heavy duty sliders), and can be accessed from both the front and from the back.

Such was the minimalist thinking when your utilitarian go-anywhere beast of a vehicle was desgined.

Enter the In-Be-Tweenie.

Need your binoculars? Well, there’s a place for those. Need your 2-way radio? There’s a pocket for it. Need the mapbook? Yup, the In-Be-Tweenie has you covered there too!!

Not just up front, but the In-Be-Tweenie has handy rear facing pockets for your passengers on the back seat as well! Now your uber cool tweenie has his own In-Be-Tweenie: for his shades, for his smoothie, for his vegan snacks, for his gaming device, for his virtual reality set (cos who wants to head for the bush to see the Big 5, right?).

So, pick out those crusty dollops of Prestik you’ve deployed into every conceivable nook and cranny of your cab to store a pen and get yourself (and ‘Mr/Ms Know It All’) an In-Be-Tweenie! It’ll bring your Defender into the modern age. It may even feel like you’ve gained 1-2 horses under the hood, depending on how extensive your Prestik roll-out was.

The In-Be-Tweenie is currently also available for certain other vehicles, amongst them the Defender Puma (see here).

Although no other vehicle screams out for mod-cons as vociferously as the pre-2007 Defender does, the In-Be-Tweenie can possibly be assessed for your vehicle/model too. Just drop us a line and we’ll see if and how we can avail ourselves.

I’m certain everyone has wanted to say that whilst sitting in the PILOT seat of their Defender (!?). Now, here’s the thing:

1. if you get your Defender-craft this neat Sun Visor Cover Set (with a multitude of storage facilities – read: buttons, gauges, lights & switches in pilot lingo)
2. and mount it to the visors, near the roof of your Defender’s COCKPIT (as one should),
3. you’ll have every excuse to remove one hand from the controls,
4. (easy does it, steady hands)
5. raise it to your visor and look like you’re pressing BUTTONS critical to keeping your passengers aloft!!
6. This, whilst donning a pair of Ray Ban Aviators, will no doubt impress the masses vying for position / shuffling around your Defender at the gazillion out of order traffic lights in Jo’burg.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better way of breaking the tedium that is commuting…

CAUTION: Avoid the button marked ‘UNDERCARRIAGE-UP’.

These neat PILOT aids are custom made for Defenders, they’ll keep your COCKPIT as neat as a pin and will assist you in attaining CRUISING attitude (and ALTITUDE). So go ahead FLYBOY and get your Defender what it deserves most – FLIGHT PLAN pockets on a whole new level!

Thank you for flying your preferred local carrier, X Axle, today 🙂

If you don’t fly Defenders / by the seat of your pants, radio us to see whether a set can be made up for your Land Rover.

The small print: If you want to know more about this superb and very worthy product, please give us a call when we’re landside. We’re presently touchdown minus 5.

Disclaimer: Please don’t fly your Land Rover but if you do get it momentarily airborne and manage to land rubber side down, please send through pics / vids. (No pictures = it didn’t happen…)

The Tranny Cover is made by seasoned craftspeople (see what we did there?) – folk that ply the ripstop canvas trade all day. It has pockets for all of your occasionals.

Keeping you and yours comfortable and cool as a cucumber on those trips, the Universal X Axle Armrest (Cup) has a large pocket (to hold a can of your favourite beverage) and a second large pocket across the width of it’s face. The second pocket is big enough to accomodate your fags and/or your multi-tool and/or a pen and/or a small torch – it’ll even hold your trusty smartphone out of harm’s way and out of sight under your forearm. A neat solution for keeping your console and dashboard clear of paraphernalia that you need to have readily available while out and about – keeping what you need hidden from prying eyes but not hidden from you!

The Armrest is only available in black. Our customers prefer black as, having it by the window with dust and elbow use, any lighter colour would look dirty very quickly.

There are two options available for the Universal X Axle Armrest. Therefore, they are not sold as a set but rather as a single item. You can make up your single / set / combination in which ever way you choose.

Keeping you and yours comfortable and cool as a cucumber on those trips, the Universal X Axle Armrest (Zip) has a larger zipped pocket across the height and width of it’s face. Behind this larger pocket, there are two smaller pockets. This makes the zippered, three pocket Armrest very practical for your petrol card, tollgate change and a small multi-tool. A neat solution for keeping your console and dashboard clear of paraphernalia that you need to have readily available while on the road – keeping what you need hidden from prying eyes but not hidden from you (under the ever growing pile of padkos packets)!
