Any interest on Brainiac 10.1" Kit?
 

Hey everyone

I don't post too often but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in one of these kits? They already have kits compatible with the 350z, FRS, etc but they would like to see if they can garner any interest from 370z owners before beginning their R&D phase. Please indicate whether or not you'd like this to be available for the 370z. Thanks!

They also have a 7" double din if anyone prefers that instead.

Here's a link to their website and kickstarter where they've posted a bunch of pictures and videos.

If you'd like to reach out to them, their email is info@workshoptwelve.com

Ok, this is pretty cool

that is badass! I would love to see that for the 370

the name even gives me a headache... :icon14:

Don't care for the name either but this is exactly what I'd like, personally would like it as customizable to the person add possible

I don't get it, why not just make a kit for a tablet. Instead they took an android system and removed almost all the good things about an android unit.

yea i couldn't agree more...or leave it open so i can download and run any app

Yes, would be interested in both the 10" snap in or the 7" (if they can do fit & finish to be installed in the cubby)

Then they could also offer the cheap insert for the cubby that you could drop your own device in it.....

I actually like the idea of a closed program for the car like this. Cleaner to me and built to actually be in the car. Needless to say tablets are a good choice as well.

I would be interested, depending on the price point!

Interested as well

They just posted on their instagram of what the kit would look like in a 370z. If you guys are interested please comment or like it!

Looks DOPE.

Edit: anyone know what the projected release timetable is? I want to do a stereo, but if its anytime in the next year I will just wait for this and build around it when it comes.

I spoke with them and they're expecting this to be in the second half of this year.

You are able to download and install any Android apps with this setup

Is it safe to assume it will support FM Radio? HD Radio? I actually listen to the radio quite a bit.

Yes absolutely!

Wish we could have gotten in on the early supporter discount codes.. I would be signing up for a preorder as we speak!

this would be cool

Agreed, this would be awesome.

They have a poll up where you can vote on which car is next... VOTE for the 370z!!!

Progress Update: Poll – Which vehicle is next? | Workshop 12

I tweeted at them about 370z folks not getting a chance to get in on the 10% preorder discounts and they said they might be able to work out a group buy =)

so... VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

awesome news Jayhovah, voted!

So what would this system be able to do??

Think Skynet.

But probably without the whole human extinction effort. PROBABLY. I hope my car is the first to become self aware.

Cancelled.

It may try to anal probe you but the convenience factor should outweigh the butt raping.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks @butterysuede for introducing a thread about Brainiac! :)

My name is Tim Neil and I'm one of the co-founders of Workshop 12 where we want to bring the latest concept/connected car technology back to the cars that we own and love. Really modern technology and style, but in a way that looks like the car should have come this way from the factory.

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about Brainiac. We haven't set ourselves up as a vendor as of yet, so I'm unable to post links to our product website. I want to make sure we follow the rules.

We're looking at expanding our snap-in kit line up to 6 additional vehicles this year and are working on figuring out which vehicles should be next. We already have 3-4 vehicles on preorder now (Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ, 05-07 WRX/STI, 02-05 350Z) which we are targeting for a July delivery date.

Here are a couple of pictures of Brainiac prototype installed in a 02-05 350Z:

Well I know I voted, that's awesome looking.

Are you guys located in Ontario? If so where?

Voted for the 370z in the poll, interested to see what will happen

We are located in Mississauga.. but we don't have a showroom quite yet. We do however work with local car owners for 3D dashboard scanning and test fitting :)

I'm just East of you in Durham region.

Voted 370z

Voted 370Z. We're .55% behind the Genesis!!

Voted

Voted. Would this work on touring models with factory nav (replacing the factory unit of course)? I would love to be able to use google maps to get around LA traffic!

Based on the percentage increase, it looks like we've had 235 votes so far for the 370z.

Oh my god I just realized you guys are doing this! It's going to look amazing. Hope you decide to give the Z a try and we get to purchase it.
Would this completely replace the whole navigation setup as well for the navi guys here? Bluetooth streaming and stuff we don't have access because Bose sucks?
