Anyone used an M-unit blue?
« on: June 30, 2017, 07:14:33 PM »
Just saw that motogadget release a new version of the M-unit called the M-unit Blue. Has Bluetooth connection enabling diagnostics and proximity key switch when it connects via Bluetooth to your phone. Wanted to see if anyone has used this version yet?

There is a member who is just in the middle of wiring one up I believe, I forgot who.

Are you looking to get feedback or just curious who's using it?

Both, I've got two projects and I have the V2 m-unit for one. Just wondering if the blue unit is worth the extra cash. I really like motogadget gear but they are so damn expensive!

Heard the Blue is a bit bigger, and also wires feed to the top which might require more mounting room

I don't know how much larger it is if any, but the wires do mount in from above, so it needs a wee bit more head space.

Specs:  90 x 53 x 30 mm, bolt distance 74 mm

There was one thing that caught my eye when watching revivals videos on this. They said there is a line bus opening which means at some point motogadget is going to make future gauges etc that can take a bus line without using the mbutton. That would clean up wiring even more.
