Hey everyone I know it has been a while since I posted. But I did want to show something a little new when I did. And it seemed like I just kept showing a little of the same. So for those who have been following the progress on Instagram or Facebook you already know that the model is officially finished! Now we are gearing up for a trip to California!! Once we get back we will be proceeding with the 3d print.

We are still working with our UX designer and developers on the software side. As soon as we have our 3d print in hand we will begin the fun part of fitment (including sanding, body filling, more sanding and painting). We will use the current screen to test but are looking at cheaper solutions as well!

In the meantime I posted a short teaser animation of the final design to Youtube. Check it out and let me know what you all think!! And if you haven't already follow Valkyrie Systems on Facebook and Instagram!

Hey All,

I like so many other Z owners on here have complained about the compartment above the stock head unit. So I have decided to design and build an In-Car PC with a larger than average Tesla styled screen. Granted there have been many threads on here for tablet conversions but in my opinion that is simply putting a band-aid one a severed limb.

So what I plan on implementing is a complete redesign the center removable dash piece. I will fill the entire space with a large wide screen monitor laid in portrait style. To do this I will be 3d scaning the interior dash piece to fit the screen exactly. I intend on integrating wifi, hd radio, radio, bluetooth, navigation, OBD-II controls, custom gauges, and dvd. With many other possible options still on the table, such as adding a driver facing camera to record your driving experience or with a wifi hotspot you could skype. I am also throwing around the idea of integrating the climate controls in to be controlled on-screen.

Here is a picture of the stock Z dash and one of the Tesla dash design. This is similar to the design I will be making as a reference.

I would love to hear from the community on this, and keep an eye on this thread. I will keep it updated with pictures and the process on the build.

-Anthony

Your design is what many have already done, this is a full tear out of the radio dash area (including A/C controls) and putting into a single screen.

This is an awesome idea and a great thread, and you're making good progress.
Turns out in car pc's are are a moderately popular thing.
I'm not sure if I'm adding to the discussion or not, but have you seen this:
rcjoycon
It's a steering wheel audio control to USB converter. Our car isn't listed in the compatibility list, however the the 350Z is. I'm not sure if we have resistive controls or not, but looking at other after market controllers the 350Z and the 370Z use the same controller.
The adapter and configuration software is $46 on ebay, $6 for shipping by slow boat from South Korea and ~$23 by EMS.
