I was planning to buy a 7 inch touchscreen/controller off ebay, one of them has dimensions that are within a couple of millimetres of the M35 screen casing I have (I have a spare though, so if I need to file a bit off it, it isn't the end of the world).

I was looking at running an android box without using miracast; otherwise I'd have just used a chromecast and casted my screen; the plan was for onscreen gauges (have an obdlink wifi mx coming one of these days), sygic for sat-nav, and XBMC for android for media.

But I'm going to see how much the above solution costs; as it lets me get rid of the awful Sony double din head unit that is in my V35.

Yea looking at a similar setup except it would connect directly to the phone through the newer cables that can provide HDMI out while providing charge to the phone. Connect to the mimicsx2 via Bluetooth for the touch screen. But yea still haven't measured up the existing screen with what is available as a replacement screen which adds the touch overlay and allows HDMI direct access

hi LineitUp, any updates?

I'm working on something similar as well. I have bought a new Fascia and AC control kit from Amazon. Have a double din kit on its way from ebay.

The idea is to use the lower half for the 2din kit and replace the pop-up screen with a 7" tab. However, after measuring up the casing for the pop-up fittings, i'm finding it difficult to find a tab that would be good.

Also, how do you plan to have the OBD data displayed on the tab? Coz, my v35 is does not work with any OBD protocols at all. The connector is OBD, but apps like torque keep saying that they can't connect.

Any ideas/ suggetions would be appreciated.

Great link Chris cheers!

Been looking at a tablet install atm. Been trying to get a second hand fascia to modify.

I was just going to use an ipad mini.. mounted landscape just scraps in to where the existing bose is (with a little modifying)

Then break out cable direct to the cigarette lighter and aux cable to the amp.

Or a breakout cable for both and wiring in a volume control.

hi Chris,

googled a whole bunch of crap about HKS OBlink and the kits that come with it. Saw the prices too. and none of them confirm that it works the way we want it to.

Just about ready to shoot myself in the head!!

Mate, should i be considering an ECU replacement for just this reason? (ie: displaying live engine data while driving)

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
