Right folks, this is what came out in the standard 2DIN size. We are looking at a unit of only 180x100x45mm in size and if my software here is reporting the truth about the material properties I've set to my solids and components, we are talking about a half pound light unit (264grams).

Huge (huge) success in my opinion. Although I would have preferred to have it 35mm thick max but then, if I would be 'half' good at designing Micro-PC, I'd be an hidden asset and working out of the Samsung or Apple penthouse offices instead. Which is obviously not the case (not for this life anyway).

So... if everybody is happy with this, I'll just crack on and go materialize this little cool product for us (shop time!). Any objections (other than the Win10 OS lolll), do let me know and we'll start all of that over again together

PENDING:

We need a name for it. All I can think of are silly pretentious names such as "CARDREAM" or "DASHBUDDY" so I could do with your kind help on this subject. That is the only remaining bit left to do so I'd be eternally grateful to you folks if you could give me a hand with this. All it needs is a life!

Feel free to post if you have any creative ideas!

Lastly, here goes a few visuals of the kit. The final product will look exactly like this when it comes out of the machines. Once we've done that, all it will need is a Porsche 986 specific bezel (which clamps on top of the kit's faceplate). The Fun & Easy part!!!

Enjoy some of the last ever 2 colors visuals lolll
