I finally got off my @ss and started doing some more work on the carputer. Up until now all it really was is a glorified MP3/DVD player. Over the past couple weeks I added a customeized GPS program (which as far as I know is the only one of its kind that is entirely touch screen interactive and runs on Windows without any sort of emulator running in the back ground). I thank my friend Jesse for his amazing programimg skills and actually making the thing work.

In addition I finally broke down and replaced my VAG-COM cable that I ran over a couple years back. I made a few slight modifications to the cable and hardwired into the car and the computer. Nothing too speacial here other than the novelty of having a VAG that is touch screen in the dash. I hope to get APR's ECUX running on it soon so I can do some logging and what not.

The last thing I have yet to work on is an anolog to digital processor that will convert realtime boost, air/fuel, oil pres., etc to a nice on screen digital display. Again I am relying on my good buddy Jesse to work some magic there.

Here are a few shots sorry for the poor picture qaulity.

that's amazing Kris, so can you surf AW on that thing:P

if I am close enough to a WiFi hotspot like a starbucks or even some RTD busses. To be honest surfing the internet on the thing is just not very realistic. However should the need arise I'm sure I could drive into most any neighborhood these days and find someones wireless network that is not secured and get on that way.

has digital gauges for pretty much anything you want to see.

I thought with ECUX using the standard OBDII interface that boost readings and what not are only sampled rates and not very acurate? It would probably be ok if I were only scanning one thing at a time but if i started trying to scan for mutilple readings I would think the lag time between each cycle would return some inacurate data. If that makes sense.

oh thats awesome..

Very cool. I like the upgrades! (still holding on to my RSN-E for now)

Even with the OBDII interface, the sample rate is much quicker. With VAG-COM, it's difficult to log an accurate reading with 1 variable, yet I've logged over 10 on ECU-X with it being incredibly accurate.

I'm just using the USB VAG cable too.

Thanks Nigel

Where did you get that surround? That's an awesome installation, I would love that on the road!
