I'm sending in my old iDash today and have ordered the new version along with the pedal monster. I wanted to test the intake but was denied

What's the gain going to the Pro version over just keeping the original?

The older versions are no longer being supported so they won't upgrade the firmware any longer. For some people this may not matter, but some of the newer vehicles aren't fully supported and never will be. On the new models they will be though. Plus you get bluetooth app connectivity and the ability to set up the gauges via the app.

Curious if the new (or current?) version’s app will be displayable / adjustable on Apple CarPlay?

It isn't as of now. This could be visible on screen using a combination of CarPlay dongles for mirroring. I will update on this as soon as I receive and install everything.

It's being shipped FedEx so could be today, could be a week from now

They told me they wait till they have your old gauge to verify first before shipping out the new ones. I guess they had someone send back an empty box with no gauge inside so now they verify everything before shipping out the new ones.

Awesome. They sold me a product for my specific model-year truck 12 months ago that didn't fully support everything the previous models had. Now they have stopped supporting it and want more money.

Yep I am in the same boat. I have a 3.0 and I am running the beta firmware on mine, but not everything works. I was hoping they would keep updating the older iDash models, but a Banks representative confirmed to me that they would no longer get updates.

I sent mine out almost 2 weeks ago but with who knows when it will arrive. My package now says this Thursday. It seems if FedEx 2 day delivery it more like whenever we get around to it.

Wow mine went FedEx ground and I sent it last Tuesday and it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. (Monday). They sent me a prepaid label to send my old ones back. I am on the east coast too and they are in California. I am surprised that your package got hung up like that.

I got my iDash Pros in yesterday and I am pretty happy with them so far. I don't have them installed yet, but I played around with them a lot last night with the app getting them all configured. The one thing I hope they improve on is the color themes. They only have so many set themes and they aren't as granular as the original iDash. I am hoping they can add that functionality down the road,

FedEx is hit or miss in NC & VA. I called and they hadn't shipped mine out yet but I received an email that they did in error. It's installed now with the pedal monster

How long does it take for Banks to ship out the updated IDash once they receive your old one? I sent mine back and it got to them today, took a week with me on east coast. I feel like something is missing in my truck with it out. Lol

I am on the east coast too and my old ones only took 2 days to get to them. FedEx is so strange. I had a shipping label for the new ones a day after they received my old ones. The new ones didn't start traveling till like almost 2 days later. I had them 2 days after that though.

I received an email from Banks today that the new one was shipping out.
