[Plattsy]

im bored and when im bored my brain starts wandering, technically you can run consult (ecu talk) on a windows ce powered in dash dvd/gps.

Depending on how easy it is to hack the interface ( easy most of the time) something like this would work ( windows is piss easy to hack if rhe hardware supports it )

if you were going to do it my launch X431 runs CE5 - that software should run on this unit.

Nice find Plattsy!

I am interested in getting one of these aswell. If we plug ecutalk to this using consult we should be able to get stats up right?

Its not a big deal If you can get into the OS interface and hardware supports it already ??

Most of those china radios can be hacked easy to pop in your own graphics etc if you have time and it has the port or bluetooth to get into it most do

Since its just windows CE in most cases not Linux or propietarty software

Ipads can do it bluetooth and have a HD touch screen ? incar pc As well ? and ipads are way better lol you can surf porn on the road lol Not while driving of course lol

, that pop out format is old tech and blocks a/c controls and vents on a lot of cars ?? Farking hate it unless you car has no orther option

Its just not that cool to bother but feel free to go for it for sure ? always good to see interest

Yeah on the cheap its cool but by the time you add the cost of cables etc your racking up a fair whack of $$

I know the double din china radio I have in my box in the shed could do it running CE 4 updating to the new version would open up a lot more options

not sure what chris thinks he could do it for cost wise ? but if the radio is cheap as hell it might be worth it

yea the site i found them on does a discout for multiple buys, if i had the time id sort it buy a few and sell them to the boys on here, could make a few bucks!

that does look really cool, and having just had the laptop out using ECUtalk, it got me thinking, if all you want to do is use it to run an OBD interface - you can get basic netbooks for like $99 on ebay brand new, just run one of those in the car using the obd-usb cable....would also be able to have datascan, calumsult, conzult, repair manual etc right there on the netbook as well....much cheaper and neater than buying 14 different gauges.
