A bit off topic

Very interesting that they have put a tablet in there! I would not be surprised if more do it in the future.
That said, is there a seperate odometer? Surely that kind of information has to be more securly measured and stored?
Also watching that video made me prthink of the possible future of Dakar Rally type navigation? Imagine in a couple of years being issued with a tablet for your bike instead of the rally roadbook. No need for printing on paper and the roadbook could be downloaded to the table every day when you arrive in the bivouac or it could even be stored on the device from the beginning of the rally and only unlocks at a certain time. You could programme your own tablet to mark (highlight) the roadboook the way you like every night. Changes could be made electronically if there was a problem like a flooded river. Biggest problem/risk would be reliability I think.

The 'purist' will kill you.
We (Alexander and I) tried this many times. The issue is redundancy. And then on the ASO events everything is on the Unik II already. I already developed a fully functional rally tablet that replace all instruments on the bike. (It read the PDF that is sent to the printers.)
To use a tablet as ONLY instrument is actually quite simple. I've done one for my project bike. A small interface to the CAN bus record and save everything but also communicate via OTG USB with the Tablet. Show fuel, Water oil etc. can also display all diagnostic info.
That is the future no matter how we look at it.
BUT, I am not sure if the AJP is fitted with the standard ODB II plug/protocol.
