I see wonderful waterfall mods and everything, but no one does anything with the climate control buttons?

I'm surprised after all these years that isn't the last frontier for customization in the center console. Has anyone done anything with those buttons? And if so, pics?

 

The only thing that i know of is that guy on here who replaced his while waterfall with that 10.5 inch touchscreen that controls everything from climate to nav. and i have a feeling if he is integrating the climate controls into a touchscreen monitor, he is an engineer, a programmer, or a guy whos super smart with way too much time.
If u want a custom climate control mod then talk to the guy on here with the thread about that monitor, its the only climate control mod ive ever seen

 

I've seen that thread but after reading it I can't seem to find where he has actually *confirmed* he has integrated the controls into the touchscreen. I recall he said he is working on it, but nothing final yet.

 

it has been done poorly, a guy on here sanded his and painted new symbols on his but it didn't turn out here, not much can really be done with them, they cant ever really be painted to match anything

 

True, im very interested to see what he comes up with and how he does it. I was hoping to do something like that myself, but besides him saying he is working on it, idk of anyone else doing anything with climate controls, sorry i couldnt help, just keep a look out for that guy to post his final product

 

Link to that thread with the touch screen please?

Ouch. There's 24 hours in a day my man, and they are all usable. But I do appreciate the compliments. It was actually the work of 4 different people to get the screen completed: a fabricator, a programmer i hired on Craigslist, a painter, and me for all of the graphics, and programming on the skin.

Actually, I do still have the HVAC controls as a fail-safe in case the computer crashes[the last thing I want to be left without is my AC in Florida.] - me and my fabricator moved them into the top part of the center console - I will try to get an image when I'm back outside. He basically cut out the button faceplate, cut it to sit into the center console, and than molded around it., it fits surprisingly perfect. Like I said I'll try to get an image soon or a video even if I can.

 

There was one or two on here and a few on Clubsciontc that did it. They all looked like crap. There have been a few people the relocated the HVAC to creative places like the armrest though that looked good.

 

I had an idea a while ago to try and put them in the arm rest on the door - youd have to build a hard plate for it and inset it in there, but itd be pretty cool.

 

Oh sorry man no insult intended, im acually pretty impressed with the work ur doing with the monitor, good luck finishing it off

 

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

 

that is so badass

 

wow..screw treating myself to a double din this christmas,I WANT ONE OF THOSE! lmao very nice man.. any plans to fab a door or something to cover it?I'd be scared chitless leaving it all visible like that

 

someone in scikotics had his switched to the center console. I've seen it done on a couple different tcs. I think it would be kinda a PITA to mess with.

 

^ He's in my club - I have his old one =) It was on a RS1 before - I just made it black. He was the first to do it iirc. HUGE project

 

you should have added in that your fabricator is ridiculously amazing..... lol
