RV Buddies has always been a fan of Gale Banks. He has a shop that's so meticulous you can eat off the floor - seriously! What's more, every product he produces just raises the bar on performance with quality that most companies boast about but never deliver.

We've been watching this new product, the Banks iQ. This is NOT a toy. It's not an over-done gadget. This is a true performance enhancement for your rig. More importantly, it's upgradable because it's software driven. So you don't get stuck with something that becomes obsolete in a few years.

One of the greatest features of the Banks iQ is that you can integrate the SpeedBrake with it. The SpeedBrake is probably the most amazing downhill cruise control ever made. This feature alone makes the Banks iQ a must-own.

Okay - there's more. You can use the iQ to play music, view photos and movies, play games, run desktop applications and a whole lot more. Oh, and they won yet another award at SEMA - what a surprise!

You need to check out their website for full information and see if they make a model for your application. Here is some info from their site...

The Banks iQ is a True In-Car PC Packed Full of Functions and Applications for Use Inside and Outside of Your Vehicle.

No other device on the market can match what we've put into the Banks iQ. This powerful micro-computer lets you know the inner workings of your vehicle's ECU letting you see what's beyond your dashboard gauges. You select what you want to see and how you want to see it. Set alarms, adjust gauge colors, read and clear codes, log data, and find out how quick your vehicle really is. You'll find yourself using the host of useful built-in tools in your daily life. You'll listen to your favorite tunes, watch videos, play games, review your Microsoft Office documents and more. It's PC power that fits in the palm of your hand, and with a rechargeable battery you can take it with you wherever you go. Compared to Banks iQ, other vehicle interfaces on the market are one-dimensional toys with an umbilical cord to your dashboard.

"We know that we have a real game changer here with this device," said Gale Banks. "We've spent the past two years loading this unit up with additional value for our customers. We're very proud of this revolutionary product and we're serious about direct comparisons with anything else on the market today. This is what our customers told us they wanted in a personal VUIs (vehicle user interface), and what they needed them to do."

Now you can plug in a Banks Diesel Tuner and/or Banks SpeedBrake and use the 5" color touch screen Banks iQ for adjusting power levels, controlling your downhill cruising speed, adjusting the braking intensity, custom tuning numerous performance parameters, measuring vehicle performance, reading your altitude and GPS corrected speed, and more all on the fly!

The best news is that the Banks iQ is fully expandable and upgradable. Things like our growing stable of optional micro-computer controlled add-on performance and safety peripherals like: nitrous control, a true on-board dyno system, water/methanol injection, boost control, air density meter, air/fuel ratio meter, propane injection, TransCommand® and more will pave the way for options beyond your dreams. You'll always be able to run the latest software and download a host of new programs as they become available, too!

"Over the years we've introduced many new products which have completely changed the way the people looked at a specific class of devices, this is one more, and I think, our best so far. It's certainly our most multi-faceted and the most adaptable product we've ever offered, " Banks concluded. CLICK HERE for full info.
