Only members, absolutely. Straight out of the Ultimate GT Collection my friend
And.. it looks clean until you wire these thing (to be real here)... then everything starts looking like a mess lolll Good news is everything is CAD modeled and terminated using the Electrical Routing add-on from NX. So we'll be able to route all of this miniature stuff with real wire size/gauge and make it look and feel tidy without having to 'kink' anything so to fit! That's the plan anyway
Keep in mind this kit you see here actually fits in one of your hand :/ Hard work lollll
Quick Update:
Finally have the Wi-Fi squared for the kit. Overkill but hey, it works.
The Bluetooth connectivity is already pretty good on the kit but wifi needed to be addressed and replaced with something that actually works. I plan on streaming data using either a mobile or a 4G router, undecided yet, but one thing that needs to work OOTB is the wifi - or I just don’t want it.
So I’ve recently picked up a stack of those antennas for 2.4ghz to prototype with and shortlisted the (to me) best 3 models. I think we have a pretty good range to start with here.
^ By default an SMD port will be planned on the back of the enclosure and the 3db short range antenna will be standard. Light-weight, compact (60mm), and works better than all the others, for short range anyway. Well, short range… I can still pick up medium-to-strong wifi signals from across the street with this kit (40-50meter away) so I think this will be more than enough for a 3meter sq cabin loll. However and if you are a real data performance and signal freak, keep reading… I have better options
^ That other option is a 5db. That will work well if you need to link up the car with your 100-150 meter away home router (for instance). External antenna, 3mm slim so can easily be concealed in a trim anywhere you need it to be. Hidden behind the plastic trim between the windshield and the door frame would be ideal (just next to the cluster).
^ The last one is a magnetic base type with a pretty solid 15db. Expansive though ($8 lolll). Required if unlike myself, you are a hacker and want to download your town’s CBD or do nocturnal war driving (I used to be a ‘hacker’, so we called them 20 years ago). You’ll have a full and steady 2~3mb transfer rate over 2.4Ghz wifi within 150~300meter using this kit. There is also sufficient lead to reach the frunk where you could conceal this little bad boy into. Mean mean mean stuff
^ This 2db directional ant will be thrown in the kit also but won't be supported nor the idea! It works 'okay' but the data stream isn't too stable. The only advantage to this one is it mount internally, hidden in the enclosure. FREE inside loll (crap stuff x10).
Atm this will do for the 2.4ghz connectivity collection! Already mentioned; I am using a generic SMD terminal so you can source your own, in any colors!
Good Good Data!
