Now for something completely different

So I am pretty sure that I am going with a MS3 Gold box, so the autotune function needs to be run by a computer so I integrated a Raspberry Pi 3  and a screen into my replacement center console plate. The Pi will run Tunerstudio,  the prefered software for tuning the MS3 box. It will also run a nav app as well as perhaps some a/v.  I integrated a GPS module that can also be used for 0-60, perhaps an accelerometer is in the future. And will also have an Echo Auto as well, just waiting for some usb bits. 

 

A lot of work, it turned out ok. Kinda looks stock if you squint. The fan knob on the right is about 2mm lower as the hole is a little big for the fan controller potentiometer, I will scootch it up a bit and tighten it up.   

 

 

Still waiting on the turbo back from Turbonetics, I am in no hurry.  I also have the injectors being checked out, just to make sure that they are ok.  I am keeping an eye peeled for Black Friday deals on the MS3 Gold box.  The button where the fog light switch would normally go is for the power trunk release.

Lol, this all sounds surprisingly familiar, albeit a decade removed in the specific technology involved. . . but still, :D!

Not that it probably matters at this point as you already seem rather pot-committed, but instead of running Tuner Studio in the car all the time, I use the mobile version Shadow Dash for monitoring and datalogging, and then I can run the autotune in TS on a captured datalog at my desk (instead of on-the-fly) so that I can get a better idea of exactly what (and why) autotune wants to change before I actually implement it.  This mostly helps me keep the tables 'smoothed' from box to box, as the autotune sometimes yields pretty big jumps between adjacent cells.  Just FYI.

Dude great minds think alike.  I actually have an iphone 7 that I was going to use for the same purpose, but decided to go with a Pi instead as I was trying to go for a behr clone type of look and retain my A/C.  It was just a little too wide to sneak everything in the places I wanted. 

 

Thanks for the tip on the 5v power supply. 

 

Kind Regards
