Failed LED Cluster Conversion? lol
Well I had some H7 Blue LED Bulbs layin around, Each bulb has 68 LED's. Well the ones I have do, I also have a H4 which IDK what color it is and it has like 200 LED's lol. Anyway I said why not, I'm up super late/early because I been sick which kept me up all night and sleep all day. Not good but I'm getting off of it.
Swap came out AWESOME on the HVAC, I haven't done the rest yet but so far I have not damaged a single LED which is pretty good, having to desolder them first and resolder them. My Display is damaged, been that way since I got the car. I know they can get a lil brighter but I'd have to do work to locate the resistors to change those out and I say the heck with that.

Well something happened.... Usually I have the AC set to Auto and 71*... Now that is hot... I have to hold it down to 65 to 64 to be comfortable. COLD is ice cold still. I ran it through the motions from Cold to Hot and fast and slow fan. Even turned it off and even turned the car off and back on. Still nothing. Any idea's? Valve got stuck open maybe? |
Wait...what's the problem?
I'd start with where you were. Pull and re-seat the connectors on the rear of the unit. If that doesn't help, check the board for any stray bits of solder. Also, check the cabin temp sensor. Nice work, BTW. ;) |

Heater core flap actuator or missing foam. :confused:
Maybe try disconnecting the battery for 5 min? |
Foam? lol It only happened from the time I took the HVAC Controls off to the time I put them back on, so an hour? Tops! I just got home from a cruise. AC Was on Auto like it always is. So it was cool. Then came on an hour later and was hot and I had to turn the temp down more. I'm gonna wait a day or two. Maybe drive it tomorrow in the heat, see what happens. Maybe it was just cold out, the car sensed it and I was trippin thinking it was hot out.

I need to do my cluster, looks crap in red, doesn't match the car at all.

Kodi is a genius idea on my tablet in the dashboard! The TabS has a FM tuner?
I run it for my entertainment center, but I never thought about putting it on my tablet..... |

Kodi works great. But I have issues on restarts. Music playback is slow or fast. So I need to work on a small script to close it when I shut off the car. It auto starts when I turn on the car. So that's working fine just shutdown isnt |
But with kodi, no torque :(

Torque application

Ok... Now am actual Failure.... The previous issue worked itself out. Now the hvac controls don't work. Meaning no fan. At first it would take like 10 minutes for it to startup... Now I've driven for hours with no ac. Controls function but no ac display comes on and no fan. I read somewhere voltage might have to do with it. So maybe I didn't do something correct when doing the leds.

any similar apps for IOS? I'm changing my android tab in my car in favor of an ipad mini

You can also run Kodi I believe. But it depends. I don't mess with Apple installs much because I prefer a more integrated approach. Running apple is more like an oversized mp3 player. But if you can come up with easy volume control that suits your needs, play with some apps to see if you can manage the tablet power events so when the car is off the power doesn't drain. I personally hate everything about Apple. I'd never use it. But to each his own. You just gotta play around. Most of the installs I see are using radios and the tablet is just a mp3 player really.
