DIYAutoTune LCD Digital Dash?
 
Curious if anyone has used one of these yet. Still don't even have the engine assembled and installed, or even a relay cable built yet.. However I'm always looking for something new to tinker with and this thing looks TOTALLY killer!!

wow but at 400$ i think i will try for better stuff it seems very nice though

elesjuan 08-12-2007 07:45 PM

Yeah the price is why I haven't jumped.. but from what I can tell you can actually tune with it. Save you messing with a notebook

cjernigan 08-12-2007 07:56 PM

It would be very nice to have that. Palms are cheaper though not so awesome.

We've done a fair amount of testing before we offered it for sale, and it's likely we may even have pictures of it installed in a Miata before long. :) If you have any questions about it, just let me know.

Its cool, but I would much rather have a dedicated palm (less chance of theft, and if i break it I wont be nearly as pissed)

Atlanta93LE 08-13-2007 10:13 AM

The palm with MS is quite a nice tool to have in the glovebox 24/7.

Not a bad price for a touchscreen. I'd make a flip out on the side of my center console for it if I installed one.

Curious as to what sunlight visibility is like.

elesjuan 08-13-2007 02:50 PM

I'd like some high quality high resolution photographs of the display in operation. The quality of the youtube video was pretty bad and it would be nice for a better representation of it.

btw, defiantly want to see some killer install shots of it in a miata. Where the heck would it go??

Any kind of bezel or beauty trim offered? Maybe a small enclosure that would make it portable?

I've got a laptop mounted in the boot and a 7" flip out touch screen to control my MS.

Where am I supposed to put my high dollar stereo? :sadwavey::cool:

magnamx-5 08-13-2007 08:40 PM

It runs the stereo to

That would be cool.. but the LCDash doesn't run the stereo unfortunately ;). It's a sweet little touchscreen display with datalogging soon to be added (plug in a USB key and datalog away).

I'm thinking of possibly putting one in our '91 Miata and maybe sticking a 1/2din MP3/WMA player under it. Something like this: http://www.gadgetoptions.com/207202/7237090.html

You can google 'half din mp3 player' to find several options.

As for a bezel that's going to be unique for each car to make it look right-- pretty easy for the Miata though... just put it where the stereo was and use a flat sheet of your material of choice. Black Plastic? Stainless? Red Plexi? Stained Wood? Whatever you want...

cjernigan 08-15-2007 03:50 PM

Those half-din stereo's are nice.
What do you think of the Megaview's Jerry? One might fit in the slot where the NB Airbag switch fits.
*checking size*

FoundSoul 08-15-2007 03:55 PM

The MegaView works well too, it's pretty different from this thing though. It scrolls several variables across the screen. You can freeze it on a certain one if you'd like to watch something specific. It's more affordable, the LCDash is more 'trick'. Options ;)

well, you can always buy one of my car computers and hook it up to megasquirt ;) they are just like high dollar stereos but way better. with navigation, bluetooth, dvd, 100gb hd, and ability to tune your megasquirt.
ps: i will be showing 2 prototypes at HIN in vegas on october 6th. one of them (in my miata) will be hooked up to megasquirt.

Loki047 08-17-2007 08:41 PM
