The dashcommand displays everything I need for my TT setup except Oil pressure. I will add this guage as a standalone. However, depending how accurate the feedback is for boost I may add that standalone also. Possibly afr's also. Just need to see how accurate the dashcommand is reporting.
Not sure the laginess of boost display however I went Bluetooth so it should be much quicker than wifi and not be a problem.
I purchased the Visio VTAB1008 as my onboard tablet. Mainly because its super cheap and also has a 4:3 ratio screen (only one I found) so it fits in the cubby very well and takes up the space versus having a 16:10 screen. However it will hang over the bottom a tad bit but not enough to cover the disc select buttons.
I also purchased this. 90 Degree Right Angled Mini HDMI Male to HDMI Female Adapter Cable 10cm Black | eBay
I had read on other cubby forums they couldn't find anything like this. It will need only about half the space that the regular adapter uses.
Others may want to get this 90 degree adapter. They also make one that swivels so it can fit in any orientation. |
The install should work great for other tablets like that too! I'm sure a lot of the mini tablets are perfect to fit in the cubby. Mine hangs over the radio a little too, as you can see in the pic, but doesn't effect anything. Just make sure the case you buy is kind of soft so it doesn't scratch up the radio.
That's a good idea for the 90 degree wire! I wouldn't mind figuring out a clean way to run a power wire to the Ipad.
The other thing I may do is get an extension for the wi-fi/bluetooth Dongle. It hangs down off the diagnostic port. I haven't hit it with my leg yet, but would really like to relocate it and get it out of the way. Not to mention the inexpensive ones don't turn off with the car. So I may put it in a place more conveinient to take it on/off so I don't kill the battery.
