The future of Gauge clusters?

:bigthumb: Very cool. I will be interested to see where pricing will stand.

 

Very nice I'd hit it.

 

Thats cool. :bigthumb:

 

I want one!!!....wonder how well it will fit in our double DIN section?

 

hmm, i don't see subaru listed here: http://www.drewtech.com/support/oem_applications.html

n/m i see subaru on the printed materials.

This looks REALLY exciting. what i'd really like to see is someone replace their stock dash with this.

 

you would still need some sort of odometer function still though right?

 

It's a neat idea, but... 4" screen.

You could probably roll your own without entirely too much effort. Imagine a decent size (10" widescreen maybe?) LCD, touch panel. Drag/drop and resize gauges with your fingertip. You just need a Linux box or something to drive it...

 

hmm..

contrast not high enough for possible direct sunlight exposure...

otherwise cool, tho

 

actually now that you mention it, flash can turn data into graphic representation quite handily. it would just be a matter of finding the output source for the ECU data to flash.

 

I like the universal hud stuff
pioneer had something like this with the double din navy units I think
very expensive to add it though

 

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price is expected to be set at $595 for the Drew Technologies retail version.

 

You could use any of the open source loggers for reading the SSM data.

 

are we talkin Macromedia Flash?....(well officially Adobe i guess now)

 

Just stuff a tablet into your dash. Touch screen LCDs are expensive! Be just as much or less to get a tablet and get it in there somehow.


The gauges really aren't all that new honestly. You can buy them for trucks with chips. Course it's a bit different but it's pretty similar.

 

I haven't checked current pricing, but AllAmerican had some very nice prices on LCDs, both touch and non-touch last I checked...
