UPDATE ON PAGE 3 WITH A VIDEO I MADE

Put in a new screen last night. A 10.4" vertical oriented touch screen. It's running a centrafuse front end [carPC app] with a complete custom interface I made. What do you guys think?

That is a big screen :shock:

Looks pretty bad ___ to me but I don't know what I could use it for beyond music and navigation lol.

Wow, looks great! Did you integrate your ac controls?

oh boy, with the right tech know how- it's endless. OBDII, Traffic, streaming music, HVAC control, window amp locks control, phone calls, voice activation, it goes on.

Wow, looks great! Did you integrate your ac controls?

im working on that now. for the time being the old one was moved to the glove box. should be finished in a few weeks.

so you can control the HVAC, Radio and all that with it?? thats SICK

if you get a radio module, sure. XM, SAT, and am/fm radio. shoutcast and pandora as well.

wow. amazing

I ____ing want that now!

me too^^ give me a how to once you finish...lol

That is pure WIN! I digg it. If only some of us had the same amount of knowledge as you. 2 thumps up!

All it is -- is just a computer hooked up to a touch screen panel that uses a customized / downloadable interface. The real bad-___-ness comes in with the integrated HVAC controls, features and other various controls.

Post the features or intended features please! :D

You can preview some of the skin here: http://forums.fluxmedia.net/skinning-discussions/9353-noir-vertical-skin-concept.html

Where's the PC mounted??

That looks FANTASTIC. But I sincerely hope you have a way of covering that sht up when you park.

That looks awesome, I would never put a screen that big in my car but props for getting it to fit.

Glad I saw your thread, it got me very interested in centrafuse :icon_biggrin:

That is awesome. I was thinking of trying to replace my head unit with a 3g ipad because I am not techy enough to write programs and stuff ;)

i would just be worried about thieves since it cant be covered

do it, thatd be awesome.

I am sure you could rig some sort of cover together. as far as having an ipad in the car, you can put it on a swivel mount (much like a garmin) and take it out/put it under a seat. You can also get a badd ___ security system such as a python or viper.

i have the viper 2 way remote now. so if someone were to break in, and im, say, within 200yards, i'd hear it on the remote.

haha i have the python 2 way, i welcome theives. I have the glass break and tilt sensor, and backup battery. GL. although... if i am over a mile away please leave my car alone :p

someone put an ipad in a tacoma. i don't know where i found it, but a google search will find it.

dude, thats sick!!! I may have to put you to work cuz i want one!!!

I think it looks AMAZING! It must have taken you a long time jsut to get everything you needed to install the system. Congratulations.

Thanks man, its been about 4 years in the making. From system to system, and screen to screen, I think this setup will stay with me for a bit.

how much $ do you have invested in the current setup?

the pc is about 1k. screen is 300. fabrication and painting was about 300. and a few other things here and there for about 200 more.

thats not too bad at all

watching

First, that looks awesome and it's cool that everything is integrated.

Second, Amazing CD you have playing.

What is that secondary display you have underneath though?

Awesome, I'm glad you guys all like it!

Atmosphere is just great.

The cubby screen is just a little screen I installed that shows basically any additional info you want from the carpc on it. i just use it for music really though. Are you coming to any of the major scion florida meets in the next few months? i'll be at them, so stop by and say hi.

Have you finalized the HVAC controls with the touchscreen?

Yes and No. I have it working and in the car. [ive attached a picture I just took this morning] but the temp control slider doesn't work yet. And it doesn't "save" the controls after the car is restarted. Every other button does though, but there's still a lot of programming to be done till it's 100%.

Tell you what, you get that working and I'll most likely buy the programming from you.

the temp control will actually have to be controlled mechanically. press a button on the screen, and it will literally have a motor turn the knob on the hvac controller board.

the pc is about 1k. screen is 300. fabrication and painting was about 300. and a few other things here and there for about 200 more.

great work. im sure it was worth every penny.

god thats awesome, how long before this stuff is standard on cars

It reminds me of the MR2. Basically this person replaced every guage, ever panel to a touchscreen unit.

baller!

Looks clean, but honestly not my cup of tea.

looks really clean! very nice

Here's a video I put together for you guys to see the screen in action and the HVAC relocation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeKm8fr7Ix0

you sir are a tech wiz. hats off to you.

Three phrases: Thats sick, thats awesome, and thats my desktop background for tomorrow.

Haha thanks guys. Here use this background: I made it just now for you

Would u be willing to sell that program to someone who was looking to do something like that for themself?

Unfortunately, the base of the code was given to me by someone as a starting off point, and I'm not allowed to even give it away, let alone sell it. Unless of course you're talking about my skin and not the HVAC controls - if that's the case yeah, I'd give it to anyone who wanted it free of charge.

Awh man that stinks! Cause i went to a local custom audio place to see if they could do the same thing u did for me, and they said they could do everything accept the programming for the HVAC haha they were clueless!! Ha

Yeah it's pretty serious - anyone with good C programming experience could probably do it. I asked around on the forums and than found somebody on craigslist to help me out. Its also wired into the actual circuit board of the HVAC too so it's not just something you could send out- unless you were to send out the hvac too i guess.

I wasnt expecting that to be that complicated. I dont think i can get into all that, even tho it is awsome ha i think ive said it before but props man for doing it, it looks amayzing if u ask me

I really appreciate it man. It makes the whole money sink worth it to see people appreciate it and get motivation to do their own creative things.

that thing is absolutely awesome man. i would love to have something like that

This deserves to win best ICE awards all over the place!!

Why is that? I've not heard of this kind of stipulation with custom coding.

Depends on who the coder is. These things can get pretty complicated.

Anyways, no-tech, I like your style and design bro!

HOLY CRAP!!! that is AWESOME SAUCE!! :clap: :clap:

could you fit an ipad in there instead.

Thanks guys I'm glad you all like it. An iPad is like 1/2" smaller so probably with a little bit of filler it would fit in just fine - or actually since there's some dead space around the iPad it might need to be expanded a bit. But yeah it'd fit.

So your friend isn't interested in making any money? I know a ton of people that would want this interface and its controls once finished...


I'd pay for it definitely...

Unless your friend took it from somebody else, then there would be no reason for him not to want to release it, or sell it.... We live in an open source world friend, why you being stingy ;)

amazing job

now I just need to find a way to incorporate something like this into my 2nd gen B.. hmmmmm

Wow thats very cool! :clap:
And good choice of music, Atmosphere :icon_headphones:
