Ron's better late than never journal.

One of the best builds imo. Clean as hell, small, simple mods thus far but they are all impressive and combined makes a big impact as a whole.

The digital gauges..my god.

Are you just going to fill the opening or add the nav control button and fill that like in one of the other pictures? I like mine, but I was curious to see how it would be done if you left the U shaped dash kit piece and just added a piece on top to cover the opening.

Ron · 03-29-2012, 09:40 AM

I will cover it up with a piece of plastic and mount a touch pad for the computer in there. EVC will probably go on the center console. Can't do anything till next week bc TT is being installed!

Ever since I have gotten mine back I have been trying to think of something to put in the blank spot now. Everyone says touch screen but for what? Never change the camp2 setup, will not control my head unit.

Yeah in your case you don't need a touch screen, 2 screens is enough lol. I need the touch pad to move the mouse bc I find it a bit tricky to use the rest of the regular PC functions just by using the touchscreen. I will try to mount one of this there:

You should mount your EDFC in there.

theDreamer · 03-29-2012, 09:58 AM

We were thinking of mounting the EDFC there, but ended up putting in the the center console which I like. I change it maybe a couple times a week at the most so being hidden is nice.

Depending on what OS and power level of the system he build he could easily do voice to text and not need a keyboard.

Ron · 03-29-2012, 01:30 PM

I was thinking on a mini wireless keyboard, like from a ps3 or something.
