Another tablet build?
Well, I managed to get a bargain console on eBay yesterday, so if anyone would like one built for them, it's available :)

Think you might have outbid me last minute!! was the seller mgzsd?
how much for a build? My plan was to build the tablet behind the console (not removable), move the stereo underneath and remove the ashtray. Need to find somewhere for the heated seat switches though. |
I dint think you can. I wanted the tablet at the top with stereo underneath but he encountered problems with whats behind.
|
ah yeah, possibly not enough depth behind to have the radio underneath. How do you find it positioned like that? I would have thought it's a little too low.
Wasn't there a guy at PoL who took a spare upper dash home for a tablet build? Wonder how its going? :fishing: |
I removed the SCU and there was still not enough room for the stereo. I ran both set ups in my car and cant say there was a massive difference in usability. Once you get past the "must touch it every second" feeling, it's just a great extra feature to the car. Convenient too with all your music/videos/sat nav etc in one place.

That was me :)
Haven't started it yet as it was gonna be a summer project after I've had the engine and box overhauled. Then the brembos fitted. After that it'll be on the agenda! |
funnily, when I was talking to a friend about the project, the first thing he questioned was how the interface with the climate control would work. I had never even thought about integrating it. Now I wonder about creating a USB I/O interface and writing a small app to control it!
|
Definitely possible and would free up some space on the console. Apart from heated seats, can't think what else you'd want though?
A secondary thought would be, do I really want to be skipping through apps when I need to change the temperature when it could be at the press of a button without any difficulty? Do you have much experience in writing apps for android? I don't but would like to integrate front and rear parking sensors/cameras but would be beyond me. Currently building a screen enclosure for my cameras! |
