Awesome project! WELL DONE!!

If its not too late. One tiny suggestion if I may.

Can the bezel have a lip (say, 5-8mm) to provide some protection from 'glare'. One could also potentially recess the screen to provide some additional 'protection'

Question: will this work with the BOSE system and allow us to simply just replace the head unit but keep the existing amp and speakers? I think early on in the thread there was mention it would not work because of the MOST interface the BOSE system uses.

Any news Fred? Do you have a "final and formal" list of purchasers yet? I'm worried I'm not on it, do I need to commit now or later?

You are at the top of our list! I'm reading each and every members' posts here and keeping these/this thread as formal list. No obligations for now folks.

News? Yea... We have a fully functional prototype that delivers twice more than I've anticipated. Really cool kit, small, and powerful. Works also... the coolest part lolll

Also got fined by the Environmental Bureau for running industrial equipment which are banned in the area we were. Ban came in effect since 2008, and with over 20+ records of registered mail/warning addressed to the landlord (which I've never heard of lolll), it was hard to request for a 'friendly' delay. They chopped off the electricity and water to the building instead LOL. The landlord footed the fine for all of us but we have to move out of there :/

Good news is we have the new shop lined up and all should take a weekend or two to do the move. Looking forward posting pics of the new place soon... pretty modern facilities!

In a meantime, here a first quick peek at the kit in its 'real-life' format - enjoy!










^ Squeezed in two ribbons on the built-in co-processor for you Arduino fans to see. Gives you an idea of where the digital and analog pins are located. Obviously plenty of inputs for your Oil Pressure sensors, Vibro-Acoustic IMSB sensors, and/or rolling weather stations

Hm, how about MOST bus integration to the stock amps and to the instrument cluster?

Regards, Markus
