Am I going mad - or did I imagine it?

Post by sna400 »

I don't know if I have put this in the right area, but I need a question answering

I seem to remember seeing (on this site) a link to another website with an interesting in-car PC display. The car in question had a triple display setup - two in the "normal" dials area to display rev counter, milage etc and a touchscreen on the centre console for the radio and controlling etc.

Was I imagining it??

I do recall a link to a topic on the Coupe Club forums where someone had replaced the MFD, Climate Control, and Stereo with a touch-screen PC, with built-in GPS, and had written his own interface software for the climate control functions.

Don't recall anything about installing screens to replace the mechanical clocks in the binnacle behind the steering wheel though.

Here's the Car PC threat on the Coupe Club forums; first serious picture of the unit installed and at least semi-functional is on page 7 of the thread:
