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!
