Blowing off the Dust! Its been a while since Rob F sent me his failed Dongle to play with. Been busy with rebuilding house type chores (whatchores? thanks I'll have a pint) Just began unpacking the internals today, 26/1/14 Everything is glued in so it took a bit of disassembly to remove it from...

Whilst browsing for info about the intuvia display I came across another of the dongles that can be used to override the limits set by the controllers. This one aims to send false data to the unit so that it does not cut out until higher speeds. The cost of SpeedUp (Box) is Euro 104,50...

According to Bosch I can recharge my phone/MP3 with the USB power take off on the side of the Intuvia display unit and on the forthcoming 2014 versions of the display. According to the specs this unit puts out 5V @ 500mA. Would this be enough to charge USB lights for example. Any thoughts or...
