I guess I would be searching for base model dial controls with Celsius on them though.

Yes - the cubby is the cabinet where the Navi screen is. I have seen the dial controls in both F and C on eBay. They should be using the same data fields and values so they should be interchangeable. The only difference is the temperature units temperature range markings on the dials.

I got the first lot of 10 eZ Navi-Delete boards in production! This is intended to be a test run, but I have a lot of confidence that they will yield, at which point I plan on making them available to those interested!

I settled on a base config (no Bluetooth) price of $115. Adding Bluetooth is an additional $25 ($140 total) which includes the installation of the BT module and the Mode selection switch.

The boards will be tested and loaded with the current project trunk FW.

I updated the GitHub Wiki with details. I will update with info and details on actually acquiring a board once I get them in hand and start testing them.

Super excited to finally have CarPlay in my Z again!

I'd definitely want a pre-assembled and tested board with bluetooth installed. Looking forward to your update, just don't want to miss out!

Zeevora · 01-13-2021, 03:50 PM

I'm in for a unit whenever it becomes available too!

radensb · 02-05-2021, 10:19 PM

First lot of eZ Navi-Delete boards are here! I was able to pull one out, give it a once over, and run it through some testing. It worked great!

So, I have been working on putting together a "test firmware" that communicates statistical information about how the boards work over CAN to another system that displays the reported information. This allows me to test every aspect of a board from the dial control module interface coms, USB, steering wheel control buttons, Bluetooth coms, all the digital IO/s, and of course, the CAN interface itself all at once.

I hope to get the test setup in a stable place this weekend, then I can start testing the other boards. If all yield, I will have 9 available for those that want one. I plan to make them available through Tindie and will update when that is sorted out and online.

First off, thank you all for your interest in this project.

There was some concern with the way this thread evolved from the Admins that triggered them to lock it down. I don't have a vendor license, and therefore cannot sell product through this forum, which is fair. The intent of this thread was not to advertise and sell a product, rather to promote the eZ Navi-Delete project and gauge if making hardware so people could more easily contribute to its development was viable. As the discussion of this activity progressed, I can see the admins concern.

Therefore, going forward, I would like to request that no more discussion about the availability of hardware or purchasing be made on this or any thread related to this project. The admins were good enough to unlock the thread with this understanding.

Please check and monitor the eZ Navi-Delete Github Project Wiki page for project details. I have just updated with more information, updated gerber, schematic, and BOM files.

Also, thank you to the admins for your understanding and unlocking the thread.

Would it be OK to ask some questions about this in regards to a G37?

Funny enough that's my daily, but if you want to go aftermarket in the G metra makes a kit to allow for it and keep your climate controls. I'm going workshop 12

That Metra kit is atrocious!

I see that the Z only has single-zone HVAC, the G's have dual-zone.
I wish iMaestro made an integration system, just need the HVAC settings displayed on an aftermarket radio.

And no Chinese Android Tesla radios for me!
