Looks cool like that!.... good job

Ive got the three standard spaces for pods and i'm going to reuse them, but for extra guages i intend to bin the ashtray, relocate the lighter and put some there too!

well i felt the opposite, it felt a little wrong it opening out into the dash. It just didnt seem right. I also couldnt see the left side of the car either up front.

Much nicer to use the headunit as the screen has something to lean against. feels like a touch screen again instead on having to support it with your fingers, and press with your thumb.

Switches isnt too much of an issue. I have forgotten and poked the screen a few times, but I just need to get in the habit of pressing close, then getting to the switches.

Any thing i like really. It's set up at the moment to display accurate speed (unlike my clocks!) acceleration G force and side acceleration (conering) G force.

It's all built into the brain box that runs the unit. It sits under the seats or best calibration. The gps provides the speed(you can use a wire from the clocks but it will read digitally what the cars clocks are saying.

The brain box has a n accelerometer built in for the g forces v
