Is there enough room to use 4 of these in a vert? Where would the units go? Sorry if that's a dumbass question. I'm kind of a dumb ass.

Concerning the 4-door people. I haven't tested a 4-door install yet (my e30 is a two door) - you're on your own for the time being.

that's going to take some work to conceal in a four door... hmm.

If you're some crazy person, and want people in your back seat to have one touch, that's on you!!!!!!!!!! That's not who I made this for...if you have a 2-door car - ignore below....

Well, you don't have to install 4 of these into a 4-door if you don't want to. You can run the large base e36 window switches for the rears if you would like.

Two can fit in the rear center console - their is a large hollow space - they fit nicely - that's going to be the recommended location for 2-door installs

I tested fitting two between the center console and the HVAC box. It's a sung fit - but they did fit there without issue.

So between the two locations you can fit 4 units (assuming you don't have seat heater switches)

This was just a quick and dirty "will they fit" test. I mounted them to the HVAC box, and added some clay, penis shaped things. Then I installed the center console - smashing the clay. Remove it and I was able to tell, yes, they fit with about 3/16" to spare.

Same deal as far as I know.

Just finished the printed instructions (mostly it's details for alarm hook up).

For sale thread is coming up next.

oh awesome I'm glad you've tested it already
and thanks for clearing up the mounting of four units. Can't wait to get ahold of them!

Ever get annoyed at how long it takes to open and close your sunroof?

Yea, me too. Fact is I don't use my sunroof as much because of it. And that's kinda sad - cause I love an open sunroof to the sky. Well, here ya go.....e30 one touch sunroof control. (It's the same unit and everything.)

So what is this Tracy? Is it shift lights in the cluster where the oil inspection service lights are?

[R3Z3N]

Adjustable econometer?

[2mAn]

Can you make something where the inspection lights read the fuel level? Id love to put a small Oil temp gauge where the fuel gauge is

[nando]

if you have the 13 button OBC you can just push the 1 and 1000 buttons at the same time to get fuel in liters

This is 'Murica. We don't use no leeters.

Tracy is alive and well - in my car and doing well. But...you'll need to wait for that. First....Meet project Valerie.

If this thread is new to you, I highly suggest you click on "Thread Tools" and then subscribe to the thread with email updates! :popcorn:

So .... If you've been watching this thread from the first post, you'll notice the humble beginning with a analog 10-LED gauge. I still make them time to time for people that ask(price is about $125), but....

I've always wanted to go back and revisit those series of gauges.

FIRST ANALOG VERSION:



In short - make them a proper digital gauge. I can't tell you how many people have emailed me asking for a stealth type wideband AFR gauge.

So, let's see what we can do....Let's make a prototype. Sure - why not. (and yes, I'm being a disingenuous by pretending this didn't take weeks and weeks of work)




Fitting a display in such a tiny case is an exercise in insanity. I'll get back to that in a moment.


Prototype - ignore that flying resistor.


set at quarter brightness.

[Swanny]

Mmmmm pcbs. What program did you use for design? Genesis?

How are you controlling brightness? The goal to use the stock adjuster?
