    Dude awesome, I liked it when I saw pics of it and it was a bunch of cables everywhere and a potential fire hazard, now, it's a work of art. Props to you my man.

    If lucky, the E36 will die peacefully, in its natural habitat, and be given the prestigious honor of donating its parts to an E30

      Looks amazing. I don't even want to ask how you got the OBC to work...
      The OBC was actually easy. Remember it connects to the instrument cluster, so once I wired the instrument cluster into the data/power harness (and it is identical to the real car, some have constant +12, some have switched, etc, you simply plugged it in and away it went. The speed limiter was the only other piece, and I needed to run +12 seperatly to the door gong, etc.

      George provided me with a temp sensor as well to ensure that all worked.

      The only OBC function that does not really work is Ave MPG, as I obviously cannot get that output from a RACING game...hah, and Range is a little wacky as it does not have the MPG/Fuel Rate input from the ECU.

      The window switches...do nothing.. I just wanted to plug the holes, however at some point the left switch will allow you to adjust brake bias front and rear.

              FYI this set up is the envy of myself and all of my PC building nerd friends.

                            EPIC... So when is that going to happen?

                                This idea has been discussed many times. It is at the point of when and not if. I think James needs a bigger house first.


                                EDIT - I think you need to redefine this simulator instead of redesign. Rusty hood needed over the electronics!
