Do0ks 6 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 My idea involves removing the current cluster and running everything from a tablet. The only this the tablet isn't capable of doing is reading the current total mileage witch im okay with. However I want to make sure that the miles isn't stored inside that cluster. Im guessing its not, how would you replace it? Ideas? Im also slightly concerned with the cars functionality after the cluster is detached. Will it run? Im guessing yes but.

bluer101 241 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You would be the first. The mileage is stored in the computer not the cluster. Do0ks 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Do0ks 6 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Well, Its done lol. I didn't take pictures of the disassembly as it is very straight forward. I found this video with the same disassembly process. And here is the results lol. Link to post Share on other sites

Do0ks 6 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 So just wanted to give an update. I ran it all day today with no issues at all. Let me tell you its so much better having that tablet. The only thing i really see being affected is the turning singles now do not click while on... Im very okay with that. Ill include some clear pics of it here. Also, If for whatever reason people want to know all apps, tools and or fixtures i used to accomplished this i will be glad to share. Link to post Share on other sites
jibb3r 29 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Looks good! Do you remove the tablet when it's parked? I'd be concerned with the battery of the tablet, in a parked vehicle on a summer day. But, that's easily avoided, in your case. Do0ks 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Do0ks 6 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Yeah, I just remove it. I'd love someone to try stealing the car and be like, wtf? Lol. It's quite surprising how well the tablet runs everything without any lag or issues. Plus, for every hour of use it only uses 11% battery. Link to post Share on other sites
Do0ks 6 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Also, Can anyone tell me what the engine displacement is? I'm not 100% but I have a 1.2L so this in cc would be 1200. Correct? Edited May 16, 2016 by Do0ks Link to post Share on other sites

I really like your setup, I would be interested, as to what your interface was, did you go through the OBD port? What apps did you use? It looks really sharp, and I might give it a shot. Thanks.
