I love you too. You can haz an iphone interface? These are from the simulator but if you hit an url on my website it will redirect you to the actual car (when the car is on, it publishes its IP to my site to support this). I think I could drive by using the google map on my iphone in my lap...

The car connects to Google Talk via 3G wireless (a Verizon wireless card), so yeah, you can talk to it while its driving, no antennas required. Its all read-only, except for the fact that you can write random messages to the LCD screen in the picture below if you want. So don't do that ;-)

I have a fairly involved carpc setup in my MS3, some of you may have seen it before. I just got some custom code working well enough for me to have an instant messaging (IM) session with my car (it has a Google Talk account), so I thought I'd show it off. It understands a specific set of...

Thx for all the comments guys, gotta try and get my performance mods list looking like all of yours now ;-)

Its an Alpine IDA-X100 (also in a custom plexiglass/mdf mounting thing). More info on parts and stuff for the carputer is here.

Door-sill cup holders FTW!

I added a custom control panel for my carputer/carpc in the place where my cup holders used to be: Space Navigator (for things like scrolling lists, selecting different centrafuse modules) Arcade-style buttons hooked to an Ultimarc mini-pac (for play/pause and triggering voice recognition)...

Thanks for all the replies, folks. I ended up just taking the first resonator out, will see how I like it after a week or so and then might take the other one. Sounds pretty good, maybe I could go a little louder, we'll see.

Hi folks. I am trying to get a deeper/louder note, but am not going to replace my entire exhaust since my stock is very low mileage. I can't find a diagram anywhere but I gather there are two resonators and a muffler in the stock MS3 exhaust (I can see the muffler in the back, and at least one...

coolio

BTW I just took the screen apart and used the outer inch or so of the front frame, with the bezel, then mounted that to the inside of the double-din opening I had. That way I didn't have to fab the edges of the bezel, which is the hardest part always.

A sigma 10-20 on my D80, thanks ;-)

It took a while, but I finally got all this working more or less the way I wanted it. Virtual gauges via DashCommand/OBDII/Centrafuse/custom dashboards: If anyone wants any of the files or anything, its all here.

It took me a while to find things I liked while doing my MS3 carputer/carpc install, so I put up a page and thought I'd share it. Logos, desktops, stuff like that, for Mazda and maybe some other cars with amber/red dash lighting. These are huge images, but that's what you need for good res...
