Depending on how easy it is to hack the interface ( easy most of the time) something like this would work ( windows is piss easy to hack if rhe hardware supports it )

http://www.ecutalk.com/interface.aspx

some one should give it a go!

Its not a big deal If you can get into the OS interface and hardware supports it already ??

Most of those china radios can be hacked easy to pop in your own graphics etc if you have time and it has the port or bluetooth to get into it most do

Since its just windows CE in most cases not Linux or propietarty software

Ipads can do it bluetooth and have a HD touch screen ? incar pc As well ? and ipads are way better lol you can surf porn on the road lol Not while driving of course lol

, that pop out format is old tech and blocks a/c controls and vents on a lot of cars ?? Farking hate it unless you car has no orther option

Its just not that cool to bother but feel free to go for it for sure ? always good to see interest

yea im not a of ipads 500 bucks min for something that does the same as an iphone. meh. fold out or double din either is fine, the video was really just for the program.....

Yeah on the cheap its cool but by the time you add the cost of cables etc your racking up a fair whack of $$

I know the double din china radio I have in my box in the shed could do it running CE 4 updating to the new version would open up a lot more options

not sure what chris thinks he could do it for cost wise ? but if the radio is cheap as hell it might be worth it

that does look really cool, and having just had the laptop out using ECUtalk, it got me thinking, if all you want to do is use it to run an OBD interface - you can get basic netbooks for like $99 on ebay brand new, just run one of those in the car using the obd-usb cable....would also be able to have datascan, calumsult, conzult, repair manual etc right there on the netbook as well....much cheaper and neater than buying 14 different gauges.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
