Like with PC cases with blank 5.25" bay panels. Maybe you can do something like that, so one does not have to destroy the entire assembly cutting into it.

I imagine this route is cheaper than getting the whole OEM navigation panel for $400.

What we planning to to make a piece (vinyl wrapped/painted/CF/alcantara) which will go INSIDE cuby hole so easier to install and elegant looking and will have joystick placed as well, but so far no provision for any other switches or anything as can be done as custom order. So all what is needed is to remove the lid of cubby hole and install the whole thing no cutting or destroying.

And all this will be straight hooked to OBD2 for a set number of parameters we looking at not going in CAN bus, we want to keep it simple and functional and catered to wider audience. Any one with FI can add extra features along with sensors required.

Let us know what else or whats the minimum guys want to read from OBD2 if something interesting can add in our exsisting list.

I'm confused. Why would you need to have this type of monitoring capability if your not going or already FI? I guess it's good for bling factor, but make sure that it is fully capable (for whatever setup) from the start instead of adding things later.

There isint any confusion check the first post. Boost and AFR is optional as not needed for everyone rest is all same.

The factory OBD2 output is pretty robust in the Z with how much data can be read.
From having an actual water temp gauge, oil pressure, or even intake temp would be nice for many people (especially track people). And if carbonsignal can also allow for the data to be downloaded that would be even more impressive.

Downloading so far looks difficult we don't want to spend too much time on working on parameters else it wont move further, what decided is we will offer a list of variables most likely keep 15-20 so comes in three screens of 6 plus an added advantage of customization what people would like to see in first 6 then second 6 and so on.

We are working and most likely error codes could be read as well.

Interesting. So for the cubby holder, this is for the 4.3" screen? Have you checked out the 7" display? :)

CarbonSignal 04-14-2015 09:31 AM

No we are working on 7" one

theDreamer 04-14-2015 10:25 AM

7" is ideal it is what I used and what the factory OEM Nav uses.
Anything smaller and you will probably only be able to 2-3 gauges clearly.

Ok......interesting enough. Patiently waiting......

Zada Tech is needing some help finding someone with a Z in the UK to help test and add Nissan proprietary ODB parameters to decode and display with their ODBII module.

Unique_Z 04-24-2015 01:52 PM

Looking forward for the finished look.

Carbon_z 04-30-2015 02:03 PM

Cant wait :)

Sold for FI in the future!
Interested in either screen size! Will purchase the 7" if you guys end up making it!
