So, should i get one now before it becomes what that Kangaroo Heartattack thing is for genesis? ;)

Sensors are sold seperately so it might actually be affordable, and it's a whole lot cooler than that "control your sewing machine"-gb cart imo LOL

Afaik there was a similar gbc cart for aprillia bikes.

I don't think so. Unlike the the heart fitness kit for the Genesis this thing isn't officially licensed by Nintendo, and I doubt it ever will be. Plus, there are better ways to access the diagnostics port of an automotive with a device made specifically for your brand + laptop.

Good point, but i still think it's a nice concept. Why use a 1500$ laptop when all you need is a GBA SP which is a lot smaller and won't crash :)

Eh, you can get a laptop for around 100USD, it doesn't have to be top of the line. The portability of the GBA is negated by the fact that the diagnostic unit is a beast itself, and it's only displaying one gauge at a time, etc. I kinda see this as a flashy gimmick.
