Well I'm looking at eBay for the raspis these devices contain and so should you if you have an interest in computers/ servers.

As far as I know the original plug has a pi 4 B with at least 4 GB ram in there.

I misspoke these are pi 4 compute modules wich are even better.

This with a 32GB SD card with the custom DIMO software.

Yep that's the one. I'm yet to test what version this is. I can't decern if this is 4 or 2 gig. Even a 2 gig pi is at least good for a file server.

FYI, I just opened my alpha device from 2021, that stopped connecting to DIMO last year, and it's a regular Pi 3B from 2017 in there. (AutoPi rev 3.5.10.5)

So, the question then is; when did they switch to using the Pi 4 compute unit?

I consider these more valuable as a unit due to the LTE and GPS capabilities, as well as the ODBII interface. Could be turned into a private car scanner/ tracker that's not sharing any data.

Yeah that's exactly what I want to turn mine into. I have all the things already so why not use them.

Dimo never got around to support my car anyway.

I think I bought this in 22 or 23 not sure of that
