Thread: Enforcer's BMW E36 Carputer 1

Great job making that rounded aircon fit in that square hole....did you just grind the edges straight off? What's that other unit below it above the sunglasses?

The aircon is still rounded (still got some work to fabricate something to square it off) but as I need to take the Climate control and the OBC (that's the other thing, On Board Computer/Trip Computer/Check display) out to be able to get to the back of the screen as more work required to fab the front and put the buttons in.


It's all still a work in progress

Currently working on installing a lilliput in the Dash, and I have a MicroATX board on test with an Opus 150W.

Have you plugged into the OBD II port?

Not yet. that will be something for the future

I'm looking forward to it. I want to know what kind of information we can get out of our cars.

Update :

Have now almost completed the new Bezel, just need a bit more sanding and filling and it should be there.

Looks good. What was wrong with the old one by the way...???

It was just a flat bit of plastic over the front. 2D

this one is fibreglass and 3D, I can mount the lilliput switch panel in the bottom bit and at least have the IR sensor working. Looking for a suitable way of incorporating some of the buttons as well.
